No? Firefox on Android. I doubt the browser is your problem.
OP post looks to be about the official app, not website
If you think OpenAI themselves are any better than Google, I have a bridge to sell you.
Don't see a reason to download the app when it works via Firefox mobile just fine
This is why corpo AI sucks.
I just checked. Works on android Firefox for me on a samsung.
Post title: "app". The official app requires Chrome to be installed for login.
You can use the web version on whatever.
That's great
To anyone not interested in bending over backward for Chat GPT, https://www.futuretools.io keeps a pretty comprehensive, categorized list of AI tools, many of which use OpenAI's API, and many of them are customized to be be better tools for your specific use-case.
Are you sure thats the actual chatGPT? My login looks nothing like that.
What browser are you using? I haven't faced this from Kiwi Browser or the Fennec F-Droid build of Firefox.
I use Mull and since it's Graphene OS, there is also vanadium (chromium based). I try fennec, but I think it's because Graphene uses a lot to block other google services.
Edit: maybe because I have vanadium webview instead of android webview
This is c/privacy, so I must ask: do you know about Kiwi's shady practices?
In the past they redirected searches through their own servers, disabled adblockers on search result pages, and they were also caught contemplating about farming attention and directing users to partners.
I don't know if they are still doing these, to be clear.
If you didn't know this, and now searching for an other browser, the repo of these issues is an app that that is basically a browser repository, and it can update browsers and such, but more importantly it has short privacy notes on each supported browser.
It's likely requiring some "integrity API" (DRM check)
Source- I've seen similar things doing Android mobile dev
I use the play services sandboxed from Graphene. Other DRM checking apps have no problems.
I downloaded the app as soon as it came out and I exclusively use Firefox. Are you perhaps logging using your Google account? I don't know if it could be that.
I just signed out and signed back in. No issue for me.
I've been using it with Firefox on Android for months with no issues.
OP means the Android app, I missed that part too at first.
Can confirm that I get the same message. What pisses me off is that I have Bromite too and it makes no difference.
Is there an official Android app? All I can see are various third-party bits and pieces. I'd rather use the browser than trust those.
There is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.openai.chatgpt
Although IMO this app is redundant when we have a web version.
Same here
That's not my experience with the app: 
I am able to loginand use chatgpt in Firefox / Fennec / Mull just as fine as Chrome or Brave on Android.
in order to use this privacy sapping service, you need to install this privacy sapping app
Seems about right
Is it because you have Chrome WebView disabled? So it's not finding a supported WebView to use?
Is there a User Agent switcher on mobile?
Idk, but would be nice, maybe.

That's not going to be a problem in March 2024 when Apple will have to allow third party stores. Thank you EU and its Digital Markets Act <3
I have totally forgot about it. I don't have any Apple devices, but I'm interested in how that will turn out.
I think there is a front end app on Fdroid for ChatGPT, might be a viable workaround
Do you have a name? I am looking for a decent ui that can use the apis to drop my subscription
I had this issue with the Bose app and it took me a long time to figure out why adding any services would fail silently. Until I re-enabled Chrome, which suddenly fixed the issue.
So you seem to be privacy aware, yet you wanna use these language models?
I assume you need an app supporting custom tabs - Firefox also supports this for example.
Same for me on Graphene os
It let me run it just fine and I use Firefox for Android. I used my Microsoft account as a login though so maybe that's different.
