No? Firefox on Android. I doubt the browser is your problem.

[-] Player2@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 year ago

OP post looks to be about the official app, not website

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago

Yes, android app, it's even in the title.

If you think OpenAI themselves are any better than Google, I have a bridge to sell you.

[-] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 28 points 1 year ago

Don't see a reason to download the app when it works via Firefox mobile just fine

[-] xilliah@beehaw.org 23 points 1 year ago

This is why corpo AI sucks.

[-] Feddyteddy 8 points 1 year ago

I just checked. Works on android Firefox for me on a samsung.

[-] circuitfarmer 9 points 1 year ago

Post title: "app". The official app requires Chrome to be installed for login.

You can use the web version on whatever.

[-] xilliah@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

That's great

[-] nothingcorporate@lemmy.today 21 points 1 year ago

To anyone not interested in bending over backward for Chat GPT, https://www.futuretools.io keeps a pretty comprehensive, categorized list of AI tools, many of which use OpenAI's API, and many of them are customized to be be better tools for your specific use-case.

[-] Astarii_Tyler@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Are you sure thats the actual chatGPT? My login looks nothing like that.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

It's likely requiring some "integrity API" (DRM check)

Source- I've seen similar things doing Android mobile dev

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I use the play services sandboxed from Graphene. Other DRM checking apps have no problems.

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 16 points 1 year ago

What browser are you using? I haven't faced this from Kiwi Browser or the Fennec F-Droid build of Firefox.

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use Mull and since it's Graphene OS, there is also vanadium (chromium based). I try fennec, but I think it's because Graphene uses a lot to block other google services.

Edit: maybe because I have vanadium webview instead of android webview

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

This is c/privacy, so I must ask: do you know about Kiwi's shady practices?

In the past they redirected searches through their own servers, disabled adblockers on search result pages, and they were also caught contemplating about farming attention and directing users to partners.
I don't know if they are still doing these, to be clear.

If you didn't know this, and now searching for an other browser, the repo of these issues is an app that that is basically a browser repository, and it can update browsers and such, but more importantly it has short privacy notes on each supported browser.

[-] thethirdobject@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I downloaded the app as soon as it came out and I exclusively use Firefox. Are you perhaps logging using your Google account? I don't know if it could be that.

[-] biscuitsofdeath@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

I just signed out and signed back in. No issue for me.

[-] sixty@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

That's not my experience with the app:

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've been using it with Firefox on Android for months with no issues.

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

OP means the Android app, I missed that part too at first.

Can confirm that I get the same message. What pisses me off is that I have Bromite too and it makes no difference.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Is there an official Android app? All I can see are various third-party bits and pieces. I'd rather use the browser than trust those.

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

There is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.openai.chatgpt

Although IMO this app is redundant when we have a web version.

[-] ProperlyProperTea@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago
[-] gunpachi@lemmings.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am able to loginand use chatgpt in Firefox / Fennec / Mull just as fine as Chrome or Brave on Android.

[-] elouboub@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

in order to use this privacy sapping service, you need to install this privacy sapping app

Seems about right

[-] habanhero@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Is it because you have Chrome WebView disabled? So it's not finding a supported WebView to use?

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Is there a User Agent switcher on mobile?

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Idk, but would be nice, maybe.

Sent from my iPhone. :)

[-] elouboub@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

That's not going to be a problem in March 2024 when Apple will have to allow third party stores. Thank you EU and its Digital Markets Act <3

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I have totally forgot about it. I don't have any Apple devices, but I'm interested in how that will turn out.

[-] Echo5@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I think there is a front end app on Fdroid for ChatGPT, might be a viable workaround

[-] Zeth0s@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Do you have a name? I am looking for a decent ui that can use the apis to drop my subscription

[-] Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

I assume you need an app supporting custom tabs - Firefox also supports this for example.

[-] Mandy@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

So you seem to be privacy aware, yet you wanna use these language models?

[-] singularity@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I had this issue with the Bose app and it took me a long time to figure out why adding any services would fail silently. Until I re-enabled Chrome, which suddenly fixed the issue.

[-] skar3@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

Same for me on Graphene os

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It let me run it just fine and I use Firefox for Android. I used my Microsoft account as a login though so maybe that's different.
