Users can also tap into ChatGPT image tools to generate images in a wide variety of styles to complement what they are writing\. Privacy protections are built in when accessing ChatGPT within Siri and Writing Tools—requests are not stored by OpenAI, and users’ IP addresses are obscured\. Users can also choose to connect their ChatGPT account, which means their data preferences will apply under ChatGPT’s policies\. The ChatGPT integration, powered by GPT‑4o, will come to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS later this year\. Users can access it for free without creating an account, and ChatGPT subscribers can connect their accounts and access paid features right from these experiences\.
