How do you use AI on your phone?

Last checked: 17 October 2026 · The AI Till, UK

Short answer

To use AI on your phone, install a free app such as ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude and sign in, or use the AI built into your phone: Gemini on most Android phones and Apple Intelligence on recent iPhones. You can type, talk out loud or point your camera at something and ask about it.

Three ways in

Option	Phones	Cost
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Copilot apps	iPhone and Android	Free plans, paid plans for more use
Gemini built in	Most Android phones	Free, with paid Google AI plans
Apple Intelligence	Recent iPhones	Free; see is Apple Intelligence free?

Useful jobs on the go

Voice: talk through a quote or customer reply while driving between jobs (hands-free only). See does Gemini have voice chat?
Camera: photograph a part, label or fault code and ask what it is. Check anything safety-related with the manufacturer.
Quick writing: turn a voice note into a tidy text or email.
Receipts: snap receipts into your bookkeeping app, many of which read them automatically.

Stay safe

Turn on a screen lock and don't save customer details in chat histories. Check your training settings in each app: see does ChatGPT use my data for training? Never use a phone while driving except hands-free.
