ChatGPT’s iPhone app gets a handy shortcut to attach recent photos more quickly

OpenAI has introduced a new gesture in its iPhone app that allows users to attach recent photos to a ChatGPT conversation more swiftly. Previously, users had to tap the + button, navigate to the Photos library, and select an image from their collection. However, the new gesture simplifies the process significantly. Users can now long-press the + button on the left-hand side of the prompt box, revealing their four most recent photos.

Selecting one of these four images enables them to attach it to the conversation and pose a question or incorporate it into their prompt. This update, announced by OpenAI's Adam Fry on X, complements other enhancements to ChatGPT, such as improved time awareness, faster loading and performance for lengthy conversations on the web, and clearer user interface updates when users are waiting for an internet connection.
