An internet connection lets your device reach websites. It is how you go online.

ChatGPT needs the internet to work. Without it, the app cannot answer you.

You connect through Wi-Fi at home or through your phone's data plan.

If something will not load, a weak connection is often the reason. It is usually an easy fix.

Try this
  1. Check that Wi-Fi is on in your settings.
  2. Make sure you are joined to your home network.
  3. If pages will not load, move closer to your router.
  4. Try again, or turn Wi-Fi off and on once.
