Update Summary
August 31, 2026 release adds personalized sticker packs, Live voice content on iPhone Lock Screen, and website tools in the desktop browser. It also expands the browser extension to more browsers and improves pronunciation help.
Update Details
New Features
- Create personalized sticker packs from a prompt, template, or photo, then share them in messaging apps or add them to iMessage or WhatsApp on supported devices.
- Live voice conversation content can appear on iPhone Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with Background conversations enabling continued voice use outside the app.
- ChatGPT Work and Codex can use website-provided tools directly in the desktop app's built-in browser via WebMCP.
- The ChatGPT browser extension now supports Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi.
- Pronunciation help now includes tap-to-hear audio and a phonetic breakdown.
Hints
- Sticker packs are available to all ChatGPT users on mobile globally; update the ChatGPT app to access the feature.
- Site tools are available in the built-in desktop browser, not through the Chrome extension, and require a supported account, model, and webpage.
- Existing website-access and sensitive-action confirmations still apply when using site tools.
- Browser extension setup requires updating the desktop app first; availability depends on workspace settings.
- Side chat is available in Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi. Opera supports tab mentions and browser control, but not side chat.
