The Indian government has made it mandatory for all taxpayers to link their Aadhaar number with their PAN (Permanent Account Number) in order to file their tax returns. The process of linking Aadhaar with PAN has been made simple and straightforward, with both online and offline methods available for taxpayers to choose from.

The purpose of linking Aadhaar with PAN is to streamline the tax filing process and reduce fraudulent activities. By linking the two, the government can verify the identity of taxpayers and prevent individuals from creating multiple PANs to evade taxes. Additionally, linking Aadhaar with PAN can also help in detecting black money transactions and improving tax compliance.

The process of linking Aadhaar with PAN can be done online through the Income Tax e-filing website. All that a taxpayer needs to do is visit the website and follow the instructions provided on the page. Alternatively, taxpayers can also link their Aadhaar with their PAN Card offline by visiting a PAN service centre or sending a request through the post.

It is important to note that the government has set a deadline for linking Aadhaar with PAN, and failure to do so can result in a penalty or consequences. The deadline, which was previously 31st March 2023 with the penalty, has been recently extended till 30th June 2023 with the penalty. Therefore, it is recommended that taxpayers link their Aadhaar with their PAN as soon as possible to avoid any issues.

Linking Aadhaar with PAN is a crucial step in the tax filing process in India. By doing so, taxpayers can ensure compliance with government regulations and avoid any penalties or consequences. The process has been made simple and convenient, and taxpayers can choose the method that best suits their needs.

What is the Fees and Deadline for Aadhaar PAN Card Linking?

The PAN-Aadhaar linking was free till 31 March 2022.

If you linked PAN-Aadhaar after 31 March 2022, but before 30 June 2022, a penalty of Rs.500 was imposed.

However, after 30 June 2022, a penalty of Rs.1,000 is imposed to link PAN with an Aadhaar card.

Thus, you must first pay the penalty of Rs.1,000 to link your Aadhaar with your PAN before 30 June 2023. When the PAN and Aadhaar cards are not linked before 30 June 2023, PAN cards will become inoperative from 1 July 2023.

Who Should Link Aadhaar with a PAN Card?

All Indian taxpayers are required to link their Aadhaar with their PAN card.
This includes individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), companies, and any other entities that are eligible to obtain a PAN card.
Any person who wishes to file their income tax return must link their Aadhaar with a PAN card.
If an individual has multiple PAN cards, they must link all their PAN cards with their Aadhaar and declare the inactive PAN cards as invalid.
It is also mandatory for individuals who are not eligible to obtain an Aadhaar card to provide proof of enrollment or application for an Aadhaar to link it with a PAN card.
Failure to link Aadhaar with a PAN card before the deadline set by the government can result in a penalty or consequences.

With Reels, users can add music from Instagram’s music library or their own original audio, and choose from a range of visual effects and filters to enhance their videos. Reels also allow users to speed up or slow down their footage and adjust the timing of their transitions.

One of the key features of Reels is the ability to share them on the Explore page, where they can be discovered by a wider audience. This feature allows users to reach new followers and grow their online presence beyond their existing network.

Q7. What are the Insta Reels dos and don’ts?

Answer. Reels is a unique opportunity as short videos can be an unparalleled branding opportunity. There are some important Do’s and Don’ts to follow when creating Reels.

The Do’s

Do use all the tools. Take full advantage of the filters, GIFs, text tools, and available audio tracks. Your Reels will be more authentic when making total usage of the tools.
Do add hashtags. Consider not only which ones are relevant to your content and existing audience but also your target audience. Use hashtags that put your content in front of new people primed to discover your property.
Do share to your feed. At first, always cross-post Reels to the feed. It will make your content more accessible and visible to your followers and other users on the Explore Page. You can always remove the Reel from your grid later if it doesn’t fit in with your aesthetic. Or here’s a hack: include a one-second frame at the start of the Reel so that your grid’s flow is uninterrupted.
Do it for the right reasons. If you’re doing Reels because it’s the hot new thing, you’ll be less successful. Instead, create for the format! Observe what’s popular – and then see how to add your brand into the mix in an engaging and appropriate way.

The Don’ts

Don’t repost from TikTok. It’s tempting to save time and money by reposting a TikTok to IG (or a Reel to TikTok). That’s not a good idea! Videos with the TikTok logo are most likely dinged in Instagram’s algorithm, and this will defeat the purpose of reaching a wider audience. The same goes for posting a Reel to TikTok.
Don’t use big borders or too much text. The IG algorithm will also deprioritize Reels that are primarily text or that have chunky frames. That’s because it goes against the aesthetic and intention of the format. Since it’s not what people expect, your Reel won’t be recommended to others.
Don’t use outside music. You should also avoid using audio that’s not from the Instagram music library. If you do, at least make sure that you have full rights to it, which means that it’s original audio or you’ve purchased a license. Otherwise, you risk the video getting flagged and potentially removed.

Q8. How to add audio in Instagram Reels?

Answer. Mix your own audio with music or someone else’s original audio in your reel on Instagram

Tap Music and select a song.
Tap Voiceover to add a voiceover.
Tap Sound Effects and select the sound effect you want to add, then tap Done at the bottom.

Q9. Why don’t I have Reels on Instagram?

Answer. You won’t have Reels If you are using an outdated version of Instagram. So update it to the latest version.

Google Pixel 7a to get Face Unlock feature, reveals new leak

Team My Mobile

April 22, 2023

HIGHLIGHTS

* As per a leak, the Google Pixel 7a will come with a face unlock feature out of the box.
* Pixel 7a expected to be available immediately after the announcement on May 10th.
* Pixel 7a is tipped to cost $499 (approx Rs 41,000).

Google is all set to launch its new Pixel A-series smartphone, the Pixel 7a, next month at the company’s Google I/O 2023 conference. While key details about the phone have leaked in the past, the company is likely to introduce incremental changes to the design of its entry-level Pixel phone, while upgrading the hardware and software.

One of the key areas where the Pixel 7a is expected to receive an upgrade over its predecessor, the Pixel 6a, is in terms of face unlock support. The Pixel 6a lacked an Al-based facial recognition system to unlock the phone, but with the Pixel 7a, Google is reportedly adding this feature for user convenience.

According to tipster Snoopy Tech, who shared some UI images of the phone, the Pixel 7a will have a flat display with a hole-punch cutout at the top centre and slightly thicker bezels.

Additionally, the phone will offer two types of biometric authentication methods, including the face unlock feature along with an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Google Pixel 7a Specifications (Expected)

The Google Pixel 7a is expected to come with a 6.1-inch OLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The handset will likely be powered by Google’s in-house Tensor G2 SoC and paired with up to 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS3.1 storage.

The handset is said to feature a dual camera setup on the back with a new 64MP primary camera along with a 13MP ultra-wide angle sensor. For selfies and video calls, the Pixel 7a will likely rely on an updated 12MP sensor. Other notable features on the handset include 5G, 4G, WiFi6, wireless charging, Android 13 out of the box with the promise of 3 future Android version updates, and a sizeable 4,500mAh battery with support for 18W charging.

Faqs on Google pixel 7a

1) Google Pixel 7a leak points to Face Unlock support ?

Ans) With the Google Pixel 7a moving ever closer to launch, the leak cycle for the mid-range phone has been ramping up. The latest leak seems to indicate that the Pixel 7a will be Google’s first affordable phone with Face Unlock.

Face Unlock for the Google Pixel series debuted on the Pixel 4 lineup, but the feature didn’t return the following year. And while there were quite a few signs that Google had every intention of bringing Face Unlock to the pixel 6 series ,didn’t see the convenient feature arrive again until the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.

All the while, Google’s affordable A-Series Pixel phones have thus far only featured fingerprint sensors to supplement the usual Pattern/PIN unlock options. Last year’s Pixel 6a was a step up in technology (but maybe not in quality) from the Pixel 5a before it, as Google switched to using an under-display fingerprint sensor.

By all indications, the Pixel 7a should also feature an under-display sensor, but according to the latest leaked images, it may also have another way to unlock. New (blurry) alleged images of the Pixel 7a shared by leaker snoopy tech some of the phone’s menus, including options for “Face & Fingerprint Unlock.”

If these images are to be believed, this will mark the most affordable Pixel phone to feature Face Unlock. That said, we’ve been down this road before with the Pixel 6 series. It’s still entirely possible for Google to remove this feature from the Pixel 7a before launch.
Presumably, the Face Unlock would work on the same principle as it does on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. On those phones, the front-facing camera’s dual-pixel nature better ensures that what the phone sees is a 3D face and not something like a 2D picture of you.

2) What are the specifications of google pixel 7a?

Ans) As for the rest of the specifications, the Pixel 7a is expected to get a 6.1-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate, and be offered with a dual-camera setup, including a main wide lens and a secondary ultrawide unit.

Based on the leaked renders, the phone could also offer relatively symmetrical bezels, minimizing the chin—and increasing the overall screen-to-body ratio. As for the price, leaks have pointed towards a sticker price of $499, which would represent a $50 price hike, up from the $449 price of the Pixel 6a.

Realme 11 Pro+ Confirmed to Sport dedicated Moon Mode Ahead of Launch: Teaser Suggests

Team My Mobile

April 22, 2023

HIGHLIGHTS

* Realme 11 Pro+ is expected to launch in China in May
* Leaked specifications have claimed it to feature a MediaTek Dimensity chip
* It is also tipped to come with a 200MP primary camera
* Realme 11 Pro+ is confirmed to come with a Moon mode for photography.
* It has been confirmed by a sample moon shot shared by Realme China Marketing Director, Jessie on Weibo.

Realme is expected to launch a new mid-premium range smartphone that will seek to rival Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 12 series. The smartphone has a potential launch date of May this year, and two devices are expected under the new series – Realme 11 Pro+ and 11 Pro.

Now, building up to the launch, a post on Chinese social media platform Weibo, by the company’s marketing director, has revealed that the smartphone will feature a dedicated ‘Moon Mode’ in its rear camera.

Realme 11 Pro+ Moon mode has been confirmed by the brand’s Marketing Director, Jessie. The top executive posted a sample moon shot on China’s microblogging platform, Weibo. Notably, brands like Huawei and Samsung already offer dedicated moon mode on their flagship devices, and Samsung has even received flak for faking moon shots.

Realme itself has dabbled in astrophotography with its dedicated starry night mode, but this is the first time it will offer a dedicated moon mode to its users. Let’s take a look at what’s in store.

Realme 11 Pro+: What we know so far

The ‘Moon Mode’ on Realme 11 Pro+ seems to be an interesting addition, since leaks so far had not pointed at the inclusion of a telephoto camera unit on the phone. Now, the smartphone looks set to get a zoom feature that could be akin to Samsung’s ‘Space Zoom’ feature that has been present in its flagship Galaxy S series since the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

It’s not clear how the feature will work. General industry trends suggest that Realme may include a telephoto camera unit in the Realme 11 Pro+, and augment this with software enhancements and Al algorithms that optimise the zoom performance specifically to take photographs of the moon.

Details on the matter, however, remain under wraps for now. In terms of leaked specifications, the Realme 11 Pro+ is tipped to feature a 6.7-inch full HD+ 120Hz display, which could feature AMOLED or OLED panel tech. It is tipped to feature an as-yet unannounced Media™ek Dimensity 7000 series chip, which could be clocked at 2.6GHz. This could be paired with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB internal storage on the Realme 11 Pro+.

To the rear, the smartphone could feature a 200MP triple rear camera setup, and a 16MP front camera could handle selfie duties. The entire setup could be powered by a 5,000mAh battery, with up to 100W fast charging standards tipped as well. The phone is expected to run on Android 13.

Realme is expected to launch the Realme 11 Pro+ in India following its China launch, when it will replace the Realme 10 Pro+ that is already on sale here. The latter is priced onward of Rs 24,999 in India, so the Realme 11 Pro+ could retain a sub-Rs 30,000 price tag, once launched.

Realme 11 Pro+ Moon Mode Confirmed by Realme China Marketing Director

Realme 11 Pro+ is confirmed to come with a dedicated Moon mode for clicking detailed, high-resolution pictures of the moon. As you can see in the picture shared by Jessie, the image of the moon appears quite detailed and sharp, with craters, etc., visible. The Weibo post doesn’t reveal anything else about the camera setup, but we can safely assume that the camera setup also features a telephoto lens.

Previous reports have confirmed that the Realme 11 Pro+ will have a 200MP primary camera. The same executive also shared a teaser of the upcoming smartphone, confirming that it will launch in China in May. The smartphone is also expected to launch in India alongside Realme 11 and Realme 11 Pro. Digital Chat Station has recently revealed some core specifications of the Realme 11 series smartphones.

Realme 11 Pro+: Specifications and Everything We Know So Far According to the well-known Chinese tipster, the 11 Pro+ will be powered by the MediaTek Dimesnity 7000 series chipsets. Reportedly, Realme 11 Pro+ will not come with the existing Dimensity 7020 and Dimensity 7200 chipsets but a new Dimensity 7000 series SoC from MediaTek. Apart from this, Digital Chat Station has yet to reveal any further information.

The Realme 11 Pro+ has also cleared the TENAA Certifications and the listing has shed light on several smartphone specifications. According to the listing, the 11 Pro+ bears the RMX3740 model number. It will feature an FHD+, 120Hz curved AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner. The smartphone will flaunt a triple-rear camera setup, including a 200MP Samsung HPX primary shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. On the front, it will have a 16MP selfie camera.

The listing also confirmed that the smartphone would have a 4,680mAh dual-cell battery and 100W fast charging support. The handset will reportedly offer up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. It also runs Android 13-based Realme UI 4.0 out of the box.

Reportedly, Realme 11 Pro+ will not come with the existing Dimensity 7020 and Dimensity 7200 chipsets but a new Dimensity 7000 series SoC from MediaTek. Apart from this, Digital Chat Station has yet to reveal any further information.

The Realme 11 Pro+ has also cleared the TENAA certifications, and the listing has shed light on several smartphone specifications. According to the listing, the 11 Pro+ bears the RMX3740 model number. It will feature an FHD+, 120Hz curved AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner. The smartphone will flaunt a triple-rear camera setup, including a 200MP Samsung HPX primary shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. On the front, it will have a 16MP selfie camera.

The listing also confirmed that the smartphone would have a 4,680mAh dual-cell battery and 100W fast charging support. The handset will reportedly offer up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. It also runs Android 13-based Realme UI 4.0 out of the box.

How will the to get /use ChatGPT on your iPhone or IPad through this Siri shortcut

April 22, 2023

HIGHLIGHTS

* ChatGPT is one technology that’s got everyone excited and wanting to try out.
* iOS users now have an easy to integrate a ChatGPT directly on their devices.
* Here’s a detailed look at how one can get this ChatGPT shortcut and start using it.

ChatGPT is the talk of the town among tech enthusiasts and even those who are the least bit interested in tech. It also has people excited and wanting to try it out, and you can do just that with this new ChatGPT shortcut that brings the Al chatbot to iOS.

Shortcuts-GPT or S-GPT is a ChatGPT shortcut developed by Federico Viticci who has also explained all the steps required to install it on your Apple device. S-GPT basically gives you access to ChatGPT on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS. The shortcut is free to use but it does require you to pay a subscription amount since it is powered by OpenAl. You do get $5 worth of free tokens that can be used up to three months.

For those interested, the pricing is actually not that bad and you end up paying less than $1 dollar for 1,000 tokens.

three different ChatGPT Siri shortcuts — SiriGPT, ChatGPT Siri, and Siri Pro. All of them worked similarly to bring the power of ChatGPT to an iPhone and iPad.

After the shortcut is set up, you’re able to trigger it a few different ways. You can open the Shortcuts app and tap the icon for the shortcut. You can add the shortcut to your Home screen where it’s more easily available. Plus, you can run the shortcut by telling Siri to activate it.

1. Get API keys

Your first step is to get the necessary API keys from Open AI. These keys are used by a ChatGPT shortcut to send your requests to the ChatGPT service and receive the responses. The process for obtaining the keys is the same no matter which ChatGPT shortcut you use.

On your iPhone or iPad, open Safari and head to Open AI Platform Page .If you don’t already have an account with OpenAI, tap the button for Sign up. Otherwise, tap the button for Log in and sign in with your account. Tap the three line hamburger icon in the upper right, scroll to the bottom of the Settings menu, and select your profile. From the profile menu, tap View API keys.

2. Create new secret key

At the API keys screen, tap the button for Create new secret key. Press down on the key to select the entire string and then tap Copy. Open a note and paste the key. If you plan to try more than one ChatGPT shortcut, return to the Open AI platform page, tap OK, and then tap Create new secret key to generate another key. Repeat the copy and paste.

Now, let’s check out each of the three ChatGPT shortcuts.

How to use SiriGPT

1. Get the shortcut

Open the SiriGPT shortcut page on your device and tap the button for Get Shortcut.
At the shortcuts screen, tap the button for Add Shortcut. The shortcut appears in the Shortcuts app.

2. Add the API key

Return to the note in which you pasted one or more of the API keys. Select and copy one set of keys. Back in the Shortcuts app, tap the three-dot icon for the SiriGPT shortcut. In the text field, remove the phrase ADD API KEY HERE and then paste the API key you just copied. Tap Done.

3. Run SiriGPT

Tap the SiriGPT shortcut to run it. The first time you do this, you’ll be asked to allow it access to Speech Recognition. Tap Allow.

4. Ask a question

Type or speak your request. Tap Allow when asked to connect to api.openai.com. SiriGPT then displays and speaks the response. Tap Done at any point. Tap Done to stop the chat. Tap Ask Again to ask another question.

How to use ChatGPT Siri

1. Get the shortcut

Open the ChatGPT Siri shortcut page in Safari and tap the button for Get Shortcut.
At the shortcuts screen, tap the button for Add Shortcut. The shortcut then pops up in the Shortcuts app.

2. Add the API key

Tap the three-dot icon for the shortcut. In the text field, delete the phrase “Replace this with your own API key!” and paste one of the API keys you copied from Open AI. Tap Done.

3. Ask a question

Tap the ChatGPT shortcut. Type your request in the text field or speak it by tapping the keyboard’s microphone icon. Allow ChatGPT to connect to api.openai.com. The response then appears on the screen.

How to use Siri Pro

1. Get the shortcut

Open the Siri Pro shortcut page in the browser and tap the button for Get Shortcut. At the shortcuts screen, tap the button for Add Shortcut. The shortcut pops up in the Shortcuts app.

2. Add the API key

Tap the shortcut’s three-dot icon. In the text field, delete the phrase “GENERATE & ADD YOUR API KEY HERE” and paste an API key that you copied from Open AI. Tap Done.

3. Ask a question

Tap the Siri Pro shortcut. Type your request in the text field or speak it by tapping keyboard’s microphone icon. Allow Siri Pro to connect to api.openai.com. By default, the shortcut only speaks the response and doesn’t display it. But if you’re skilled enough with Siri shortcuts, you may be able to tweak this one to display a response on the screen as well.

How to trigger a shortcut from the Home screen

Instead of launching a shortcut through the Shortcuts app, you can more easily trigger it from the Home screen.

1. Add to Home screen

To set this up, press down on the icon for one of the ChatGPT shortcuts and select Share. From the Share menu, tap the option for Add to Home Screen. Preview the name and icon for the shortcut and then tap Add.

2. Ask a question

Tap the icon on the Home screen and then speak or type your request to receive a response.

How to trigger a shortcut through Siri

An even quicker way is to run a shortcut through Siri. Simply say: “Hey Siri [name of shortcut].” If Siri doesn’t understand that you want it to run a shortcut due to confusion with the name, then your best bet it to rename the shortcut.

To do this, press down on it in the Shortcuts app and select Rename from the menu. Choose a name that won’t conflict with an existing command. Try calling on Siri again. Speak or type your request and wait for the response.

How to use S-GPT?

First thing that you need to do is create an OpenAI account and set up a pay-as-you-go billing method. Once you’ve done that you will need to create a new secret key for your account from the API Keys page. Then copy the API key and paste it when S-GPT asks you to. There are several ways you can use S-GPT on your iPhone and these include launching it from the Shortcuts app, as an icon on the Home Screen, a widget, or even using it as a shortcut inside Siri.

What does S-GPT do?

Just like ChatGPT, you can ask S-GPT questions directly on your iPhone. A small S-GPT question box will be available where you can type out questions with no word limit. You can ask S-GPT very specific questions and on just about anything. Some of the examples the developer has shared include asking S-GPT to make a list of emo songs released after 2000, and even group them by year, and song title. You can also ask S-GPT to make a travel itinerary for you based on what you like and what you want to do in that city or country.

It takes a few seconds for S-GPT to come back with a detailed response. S-GPT can also hold back-to-back conversations so you can actually have a proper talk asking the chatbot multiple questions at the same time but without leaving the chat. You can also integrate S-GPT with Siri but this isn’t recommended as it would be too data-heavy for the virtual assistant leading to more wait time for responses.

If you own an Apple device and you’re interested in using ChatGPT or want to use it extensively, you can head over to this site and get started. Viticci has asserted how simple the UI and layout of S-GPT is so it shouldn’t be any trouble using the AI chatbot.

Faqs on Chatgpt iPhone/ IPad

1) How to sign up for ChatGPT on iPhone?

Ans) Since we did mention OpenAl being at capacity, we have to explain that all ChatGPT users need personal accounts. If you’ve already accessed the chatbot on an internet browser, you have an account ready. That means a username (email address) and a password.

But you can always create an account on your iPhone. Just load up Safari or your iOS browser app of choice and head to chat.openai.com. This is where you’ll be able to sign up for ChatGPT unless the system tells you they’re too busy.

You’ll need an email address to use ChatGPT on your iPhone and anywhere else. And you’ll want to set a strong password. The system will also verify your phone number before it lets you in.
Once that’s done, you can access ChatGPT on your iPhone straight from the browser. The following clip should help guide you through the sign-up process:

2) What about a ChatGPT app for iPhone?

Ans) Unfortunately, there’s no ChatGPT app for iPhone right now. Maybe OpenAI will develop one in the future. Until then, you can just bookmark the link in your browser or enter it manually every time you want to interact with the chatbot.

Remember, however, that the answers ChatGPT will provide might not always be correct. It’s not as accurate as the regular version of Search, so you might want to double-check some of the facts the chatbot provides.

3) How to use a shortcut for ChatGPT on iPhone

Ans) While there’s no ChatGPT app for iPhone, the good news is that you can create a shortcut for it relatively quickly. Fabian Heuwieser made an easy-to-follow tutorial, posting it on Medium a few weeks ago.

You can either replicate the steps as shown in the shortcut or just download the shortcut yourself.

You’ll still need a ChatGPT account to create the iPhone shortcut. That’s because you’ll need your API key from OpenAl, and that’s only available via an account.
Generating the API key is incredibly easy.

All you have to do is log into your ChatGPT account and create an API key for the iPhone. This is where you can create the API key.

Once you retrieve that key, open the Shortcuts app and create the shortcuts just as shown in the screenshots that Heuwieser provides. An alternative is downloading the shortcut at this link. In case you download it, you’ll need your API key handy.

As soon as the shortcut is ready, you’ll be able to interact with ChatGPT on your iPhone without needing the browser. The shortcut will also work on Apple Watch, if you feel like you need access to the chatbot on your wrist.

4) How to use S-GPT on iPhone

Ans) There’s another potentially game-changing ChatGPT shortcut for iPhone and iPad called S-GPT. It works with both ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4, so you can load your API regardless of whether you’re on a free OpenAI account or the Plus subscription. Still, those OpenAI requests will require a pay-as-you-go billing plan.

Created by MacStories’ Federico Viticci, S-GPT integrates ChatGPT into native iPhone and iPad features. Once you set it up, you can use S-GPT inside Safari to summarize pages or process text in the clipboard. It also works with the Reminders and Calendars apps and can help you manage your Apple Music.

5) How to integrate ChatGPT into Siri on your iPhone?

Ans) With the emergence of ChatGPT, the expectation is that Apple’s own Siri will evolve similar capabilities in the future. And a version of Siri with features identical to ChatGPT would certainly improve how we use iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Thankfully, we don’t have to wait for Apple to unveil its own generative AI features built into Siri. Developer Mate Marschalko found a way to incorporate ChatGPT into Siri via a different shortcut. That means you have another option of using ChatGPT on the iPhone in addition to the ones above.

But the Siri trick is limited to performing specific actions via ChatGPT, like controlling a smart home. The Siri-ChatGPT will also answer questions that are related to the home, in addition to controlling your connected devices.

The developer explained his Siri-ChatGPT hack in a blog post on Medium. You’ll be able to follow the instructions along to create a similarly powerful Siri-ChatGPT tool on your iPhone or iPad.

Like Heuwieser’s shortcut above, Marschalko’s instructions are easy to follow. You’ll be able to set up your Siri-ChatGPT shortcuts in no time, although, again, the functionality might be very specific. However, the Siri-ChatGPT solution might be more useful than using Siri alone to manage your smart home.

You can’t talk to Siri-ChatGPT and give it all sorts of questions or commands on the iPhone like on the web. But Marschalko’s work might inspire additional iPhone shortcuts that harvest the powers of ChatGPT via Siri.

6) How to replace Siri with ChatGPT on iPhone?

Ans) The shortcuts above let you either access ChatGPT from your iPhone or Apple Watch or use ChatGPT to manage your smart home.

But there’s another handy shortcut that lets you “replace” Siri with ChatGPT. That way, you can turn to the OpenAI chatbot for information rather than Siri. ChatGPT might not always be reliable, but neither is Siri. And ChatGPT can offer you a better way of interacting with the chatbot on iPhone.

You won’t actually uninstall Siri on your device or replace it. You cannot do that on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But developer Yue Yang posted on GitHub instructions on how to create a voice shortcut that uses Siri to trigger ChatGPT.

Like the previous steps, you’ll need your OpenAI API key for the shortcut. Once you generate a ChatGPT key for this shortcut, you can download the shortcut directly from GitHub and then customize it.

That’s all it takes to have a fully functional ChatGPT AI bot on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, right alongside Siri.

7) Perplexity AI brings ChatGPT search to iPhone?

Ans) If you only want to use ChatGPT for online searches, install Perplexity AI immediately. The new app offers a clean ChatGPT user interface that lets you ask questions and follow-ups. It provides clear answers complete with links to sources. Perplexity also keeps track of threads, but you can delete the chats at any point.

Even better, Perplexity doesn’t collect any user data from your iPhone. It won’t bother you with ads, and you don’t have to pay an access fee. This sounds too good to be true, and maybe Perplexity will one day monetize its ChatGPT client. And perhaps they should. What’s clear is that the app is a must-have generate iOS tool right now.

8) Petey for iPhone, another great ChatGPT client

Ans) In addition to Perplexity AI, there’s also Petey for iPhone that you should take into account if you want simple ChatGPT action on your handset. Unlike Perplexity, Petey is an app that will cost you a flat fee or a subscription. The app gives you access to ChatGPT’s GPT-3.5 engine, with an upgrade to the GPT-4 model to follow.

Petey for iPhone started on the Apple Watch, but the iPhone is a much better home giving the app better features. Like support for Live Activities. With the help of the Shortcuts app, you can use voice and use Petey as a Siri replacement. The default voice assistant can’t be replaced on iPhone, however.

9) Requirements to Get ChatGPT to Work with Siri?

Ans) 1. Siri ChatGPT Shortcut

The integration of ChatGPT into Siri works through a handy shortcut that will run on your iPhone. As such, it is necessary to download the Siri shortcut. Called Siri Pro, the shortcut is courtesy of YouTuber Tim Harris. While the shortcut is named Siri Pro, you can always rename it to whatever you want. To begin, download the Siri Pro (Get) shortcut but don’t run it yet. Once downloaded, keep reading.

2. ChatGPT API Key

To successfully use ChatGPT’s services with Siri on your iPhone, you need to use its API. ChatGPT’s API key is something you can access through your OpenAI account. To get that, head to the OpenAI API keys page and log in to your account. Here, you will see the option to “Create new secret key.” Click on it to generate an API key to use with Siri Pro.
Once done, copy the OpenAI API key. Do remember that once you copy the key and close the pop-up box, you cannot copy the same API key again. So keep it somewhere safe.
You can also open this website on your iPhone to generate and copy the API key to your clipboard. If you do not have an OpenAI account, you can create one .

10) I followed all the above steps but the shortcut gives no response. What do I do?

Ans) As mentioned above, the ability for ChatGPT Siri to run on your iPhone is dependent on the current server load on the AI chatbot itself. If ChatGPT itself is overloaded, there’s a high chance of the shortcut not giving a response. Wait an hour or two and run the shortcut again.

11) Is this method available for Android?

Ans) As of now, ChatGPT for Siri is only available on iOS. Since this relies on iPhone’s shortcut app, we are yet to discover a similar method for Android fanboys out there. However, rest assured, we will keep you updated if we run into anything.

12) The Shortcut Keeps Telling Me to Add in Your API Key First. What Do I Do?

Ans) As the error, that means you haven’t properly added your ChatGPT API Key yet. Without this, the shortcut cannot communicate with the server.

Team My Mobile

April 22, 2023

HIGHLIGHTS

* Google Pixel Fold is expected to be released at the upcoming Google I/O on May 10th
* An alleged live video has surfaced of the Google Pixel Fold, showcasing the inner and outer displays
* A separate leak has uncovered the Google Pixel Fold price, colour variants and sale offers
Google is expected to formally announce its first-ever foldable phone, the Google Pixel Fold, at the Google I/O event in Mountain View, California, on May 10th. Ahead of that, two separate leaks by reliable tipsters Kuba Wojciechowski and Jon Prosser (Front Page Tech) have pretty much revealed everything about the phone, including its design, pricing details and key specs.

Google Pixel Fold live video

Kuba (who’s been leaking a lot of information related to the Pixel Fold in the past) has uploaded a six-second clip of a foldable on Twitter, which he claims is the first live look of Google’s first foldable.

We’d earlier seen the Pixel Fold leak in renders , and apparently in the hands of a communter on the New York Subway, but this could be our best look yet. While there is no logo or the classic Google camera module to distinguish that this indeed is the Pixel Fold, what we do see is the selfie camera, thick internal bezels and rounded edges. The video on the internal screen is blurred, but we do get an idea of the form factor.

As per previous leaks, the Pixel Fold is expected to weigh around or 283gms, which is about 20gms heavier than its closest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. The Pixel Fold dimensions when folded are expected to be 5.5 height x 3.1 width x 0.5 depth (inches). We don’t know the exact dimensions unfolded yet.

Pixel Fold Price, Colours (Leaked)

As per Jon Prosser the Pixel Fold price will be $1,799 (over Rs 1.47 lakh) for the 12GB/256GB model in Chalk and Obsidian colours. The Google Pixel Fold 12GB/512GB is expected to be available for $1,919 (over Rs 1.57 lakh) in Obsidian only. As per Prosser, there is a free Pixel Watch for all those who pre-order the Fold.

The Pixel Fold pre-orders will start from May 10th from the Google Store, while the phone is expected to ship starting June 27th, as per the leaked info.

Google Pixel Fold Specifications

Prosser has further dwelled on what we can expect from the Pixel Fold spec sheet as follows:

* Display: The outer display will be 5.8 inch-FHD+ OLED with a resolution of 2092×1080 OLED at 408ppi and a 17.4:9 aspect ratio. The inner display is 7.6 inches, 2208×1840 OLED with a 6:5 aspect ratio at 380ppi. The inner display has ultra-thin glass protected by plastic. Both displays have 120hz refresh rates.

* Chipset: As per previous leaks, the Pixel Fold will use Google’s in-house Tensor 2 chipset along with a Titan M2 security chip. The chipset could be the same as that of the Pixel 7.

* Cameras: The Pixel Fold will have a triple camera setup. According to Prosser, there will be a 1/2 inch, 48MP main sensor with 0.8 μm pixel width and f/1.7 aperture. There’s a 1/3.1-inch 10.8MP sensor telephoto lens with 1.22 pm pixel width, f/3.05 aperture, with 5x optical zoom capable up to 20x digitally. The ultrawide camera will have a 1/3-inch, 10.8MP sensor with 1.25 um pixel width, f/2.2 aperture and 121.1-degree field of view.  The outer selfie camera is 9.5MP, while the inner front camera is 8MP.

* RAM and storage: Two storage variants are expected – 256GB and 512GB with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The storage is UFS 3.1.

* Battery: The Pixel Fold is expected to pack a 4,700mAh battery. The fast charging details are unknown at the moment.

* OS: It is expected to run Android 13 OS out of the box.
