With GPT-5 now available across free and paid tiers, OpenAI is integrating several new features making it an all-in-one AI assistant. The latest addition includes more Google apps and services integration into ChatGPT app, adds new themes and accent colors, and one major change coming to voice mode.
OpenAI continues to expand ChatGPT’s capabilities with exciting new integrations that bring practical, real-world functionality directly into the AI assistant. Our latest APK Breakdown has uncovered compelling evidence that ChatGPT is preparing to integrate deeply with Google Maps, specifically targeting places, EV charging stations and fuel station discovery features.
APK Breakdown: What We Found in Latest ChatGPT Source Code
During our ongoing APK Breakdown series at AndroidSage, we discovered several revealing code snippets within ChatGPT’s Android application that point to an upcoming Google Maps integration. The source code reveals specific resource declarations for:
Standard & Advanced Voice Mode Retiring
Advanced Voice is now ChatGPT Voice. OpenAI says they are streamlining and upgrading voice so you get hours of access per day. Plus, standard voice retires September 9, 2025.
So after Sep 9, there will only be 1 voice mode called ChatGPT Voice. The legacy voices may be going away too.
New Theme and Accent Colors in ChatGPT
This latest release introduces a striking new AMOLED-optimized theme specifically engineered for modern smartphones and tablets. The updated interface features comprehensive visual improvements across both light and dark modes, replacing the previously muted gray elements with richer, more vibrant tones on Android and iOS platforms.
The redesigned interface dramatically transforms ChatGPT’s visual appeal, particularly in dark mode. The new AMOLED theme delivers true black backgrounds and a refined aesthetic that reduces eye strain while optimizing battery performance on OLED displays. The visual transformation is immediately apparent when comparing the interface before and after implementation.
While OpenAI has previously faced challenges in perfecting the user interface—especially regarding dark mode functionality—this update represents a significant improvement. The company has consistently refined UI and theme elements through successive updates, and this latest iteration, known internally as the “Holo theme” according to source code references, marks a notable advancement.
Customizable Accent Colors
Users can now personalize their chat experience by selecting from eight distinct accent colors. Six colors are available to all users, while two premium options are exclusively reserved for Plus and Pro subscribers. This enhancement eliminates the previous monotonous gray accent, allowing for greater personalization and visual variety.
OpenAI has struggled in the past to perfect the user interface, particularly the dark mode experience. Throughout previous updates, we’ve documented several UI and theme-related changes. This latest theme is internally referred to as the Holo theme, as seen in the source code:
