Bing Chat with its capabilities that derive from the artificial intelligence of OpenAI has impressed you? Are you among the 100 million active users and looking for a more immediate access instead of having to go to Bing or search for the app every time? In the Android environment there is no lack of methods, on the iOS side instead you have to ingenuity a bit to talk to Bing Chat wanting to minimize the number of necessary steps. Here is a method, perhaps the only one, to have the intelligence of Bing always at hand. Indeed, by finger.
The method we propose is based on two possibilities offered by the iPhone, the app Quick Commands present on iOS for a few generations and the possibility, on iPhone 8 and later, to set that a certain operation is performed with a double or triple tap on the back surface of iPhone, even if there is a cover in between. No illusions though: if you think that after the double or tiplo tap you find yourself in front of Bing Chat with an open keyboard well, easy on dreams.
The solution we show you allows you to quickly open the Bing app regardless of what you are doing with your smartphone at that moment, but to start a dialogue with the AI ​​you need a further tap. Right one.
Meanwhile without the Bing app you go nowhere:
- Microsoft Bing Search | iOS | App Store, Free.
Then you have to create the shortcut from the Shortcuts app. It is pre-installed, but if you have uninstalled it over time, you can easily download it from the App Store. So:
- open the app Quick Commands
- tap the + in the top right to create a new shortcut
- then up Add action
- then up Open the app
- it may appear just below the box Add actionotherwise just write “Open the app” in the search box above
- now just tap App to the right of You open and select Bing
- it’s better to rename the shortcut tapping on Open the app top: leaving the name generic risks confusing the different shortcuts you may have; in the example it has been renamed Open Bing
- confirm by tapping end top right.
Now we have to tell iPhone what action should trigger the shortcut:
- open Settings
- going up Accessibility
- touch Touch in the section Mobility
- scroll through the menu until you find the item Back touch down
- choose whether you prefer to invoke Bing through a double or a triple on the back of the iPhone
- scroll the screen until you find the section Quick commands where you will see the entry Open the app/Open Bing or the name you assigned to the shortcut in the previous steps.
The “trick” to quickly access Bing Chat is now operational. It is not the most immediate procedure ever to talk to Microsoft’s artificial intelligence that you can imagine, but in the iOS environment something more effective will hardly come.
