Apple will let you upgrade to ChatGPT Plus right from Settings in iOS 18.2

Apple's second iOS 18.2 developer beta includes a new feature for update's integration with ChatGPT: users will be able to upgrade to ChatGPT Plus from the Settings menu, 9to5Mac reports.

ChatGPT Plus is OpenAI's paid version of ChatGPT, offering features like more messages with its GPT-4o model, for $19.99 per month. If you end up using ChatGPT a lot within iOS - you'll be able to track in Settings if you approach the daily free limit of ChatGPT's more powerful capabilities - the upgrade could be worth it.

It's unclear if Apple is taking a cut of those subscriptions made from Settings. Apple and OpenAI didn't immediately reply to a request for comment.

Apple is also reportedly in talks with Google on an integration with Google's Gemini. If that comes to pass, I would guess that there will be some kind of in-Settings upgrade path to Gemini Advanced, too.

iOS 18.2 adds other new AI features, too, including Visual Intelligence and Genmoji. The update is set to arrive the week of December 2nd, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports.
