Why is Chrome recommended for ChatGPT on Android?
The ChatGPT Android app relies on a supported browser (Chrome or Brave) to securely complete the login process. If neither browser is installed or set as default, you may encounter login errors or be unable to sign in.
To ensure the best experience, we recommend setting Google Chrome as your default browser.
Supported Browsers for Login
Google Chrome (recommended)
Brave
Other browsers may not support the login flow and could result in an error.
