ChatGPT Adds Background Voice Conversations
athyuttamre · x · 2026-07-16
The ChatGPT App now allows you to enable "Background conversations" under Voice in settings, letting voice chats continue running in the background while supporting Live Activities.
This product-focused update essentially makes voice mode behave more like a persistent background session, rather than requiring the app to remain in the foreground.
