According to PANews, OpenAI has introduced a new feature for iPhone and iPad users, allowing them to access the 'SearchGPT' option through the 'Shortcuts' app. This update enables users to launch the ChatGPT application and utilize its web search capabilities via a shortcut. To use this feature, users must update to the latest version of the ChatGPT app.

The SearchGPT function, initially launched at the end of October, aims to enhance the web search experience by providing more relevant links and contextual information. It also supports users in asking follow-up questions. Currently, the SearchGPT feature is accessible to users with ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Teams subscriptions. OpenAI plans to make this feature available to free users in the coming months.
