OpenAI is testing a new method for ChatGPT screen sharing on Android, according to an Android Authority report published in September 2025. The reported method uses Android’s Bubbles feature and Accessibility options to let ChatGPT view on-screen content more efficiently than the current casting-based approach.
Android Authority said the test could make ChatGPT screen viewing less demanding on phone hardware. The report did not provide device compatibility details, rollout dates, or a list of supported Android versions.
The change would affect how AI assistants access on-screen information on Android devices. Android Authority framed the test as part of a broader push by AI assistants including ChatGPT and Google Gemini to understand screen context and help users complete tasks with less manual input.
