With the ChatGPT shortcut, Nothing Phone (1) and Phone (2) users will be able to easily access the voice assistant. This feature would be similar to using Google Assistant or Siri for voice commands. So if you have the Nothing Phone (1) or Phone (2), and want to use ChatGPT, here's what you need to do:
This feature was first spotted in beta by Mishaal Rahman last week who shared the details on X. Here, the feature was seen as a ChatGPT voice shortcut for all Android devices. But for now it looks like only Nothing Phone users can enable it on their devices.
While this creates an easy access shortcut to use ChatGPT as a voice assistant, it doesn't replace the default one on your phone. So you won't be able to trigger it by long pressing the home button or power button, as confirmed by Rahman.
Nothing is also preparing to launch a new smartphone soon. It has already teased the new device but hasn't revealed any details yet. There have been leaks though, about a Nothing Phone (2a) that's expected to be a more affordable offering from the brand. It would be a toned-down version of the flagship Nothing Phone (2).
