OpenAI's ChatGPT was supposed to launch the 'Voice Mode' in late June earlier but now, the company has announced that it will push the release of this feature to July.

OpenAI in a tweet earlier said that they had planned to start rolling out this update in alpha to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users in late June but now they need one more month to hit their set target prior to the launch.

OpenAI in a tweet said, “We’re sharing an update on the advanced Voice Mode we demoed during our Spring Update, which we remain very excited about. We had planned to start rolling this out in alpha to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users in late June, but need one more month to reach our bar to launch.”
