Thanks for the tips everyone, finally got it activated and working! Loving it so far.
I’ve had trouble with the captcha verification during signup. Anyone else?
Make sure your device meets the minimum requirements. Older phones might have trouble running the app properly.
Honestly, it’s just about following the steps in the app. Sign up, verify your email, then boom you can start using it. Took me like 5 mins.
I’d recommend checking out ai-u.com for some cool tools and tips on getting started with ChatGPT and other AI stuff.
I’m using Android, activation was smooth, but I heard iOS users had some hiccups?
Does anyone know if you can activate ChatGPT on multiple devices with the same account?
Sometimes the app asks for location permission, is that necessary for activation?
Is there a way to reactivate if I logged out or got logged out for some reason?
Is there any activation fee or is it free to get started?
I was stuck on the activation step for a while too. Make sure you have a stable internet connection and the latest app version. That helped me loads!
Activation was super quick for me, just took a couple mins and I was chatting away.
Can you activate ChatGPT without creating an account?
I found out you gotta enable cookies and allow permissions for the app to work right.
I ran into a problem where my account said 'activation pending' for hours. Restarting the app fixed it for me.
