The plus button sits near where you type. It lets you add something to your message.

You can add a photo or a file. For example, a picture of a letter you got in the mail.

Then you can ask ChatGPT about it. Like asking what a confusing letter means in plain words.

Try this
  1. Tap the plus button near the message box.
  2. Choose a photo or file from your device.
  3. Wait for it to attach to your message.
  4. Type your question about it, then send.
A message you can copy

I added a photo. Can you explain what this says in simple words?

Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.
