ChatGPT Voice Now Lives Inside the Main Chat by Default

The update shows spoken replies as on-screen text with visuals in the same thread.

Overview

  • OpenAI is rolling out the integrated voice experience to all users on web and mobile, with an app update required.
  • Users can speak and watch responses render in real time while reviewing earlier messages and viewing images or maps.
  • A new Separate mode toggle in Settings under Voice Mode lets users revert to the legacy audio-only interface.
  • Switching back to text input still requires tapping the End button to stop a voice conversation.
  • Voice chats now start from the waveform icon beside the message field, replacing the prior animated blue circle screen.
