Earlier this week, OpenAI updated the iPhone ChatGPT app with a native Safari extension that allows you to send your Safari search queries directly to ChatGPT instead of Google. This is a great feature, but what if you prefer another LLM search engines, such as Claude or Perplexity? In this guide, I will show you how to use ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or any other LLM as your Safari search engine.
Use ChatGPT as Safari search engine
Let’s start by redirecting your Safari searches to ChatGPT, as it is the easiest to set up. For this to work, you need the ChatGPT app on your iPhone. If it’s not installed on your iPhone, you can click the link to download the app. If it’s already installed on your iPhone, update it to the latest version.
1. Now launch the Safari app on your iPhone, open any website, and tap the Menu button in the bottom left corner.
2. Now open Manage Extensions settings.
