I had chat.openai.com saved to my homepage so here's my finding so far:

- snappier

- search through conversation history via title search

- whisper built in for record -> transcribe workflow (does not work "live" unfortunately)

- easier to scroll through history and delete history

- long press prompt or response to copy/select text or perform voting/regeneration actions

- better text resizing support (via the control center's Aa text resize option) (online resizing text made things way too cluttered)

Probably more but all I've found from about 10 minutes of playing around.

Definitely better UX from my perspective!

> whisper built in for record -> transcribe workflow

How is this any better that Apple's built in dictation?

> easier to ... delete history

This is actually the one advantage I see to this app. Deleting history on the desktop is a pain and requires far too many clicks. I can delete history more quickly with the iOS app.

Whisper is (highly) more accurate.
iOS dictation always knows exactly what I say and I get the immediate feedback of seeing the text written as I am speaking. With Whisper in the ChatGPT app I can't see anything I say, until after I finish speaking. So I'm really not seeing an advantage yet.
No tts tho. I’d rather have a conversation.
That'd be nice for sure.
