Is it true?: No, Das' smartphone shows Apple's Notes application, not ChatGPT.

How did we find out the truth?: Das' orange phone resembles Apple's iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max variants.

Das has an iPhone 17 Pro.

We looked at a screenshot of a ChatGPT search query on an iPhone and saw that the icons shown on the application did not match the ones on Das' screen.

The icons on the top do not match.

None of the AI chatbot apps we checked, including Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and Claude, resembled the layout seen in the claim. (Swipe).

Google's Gemini app on iPhone.

Perplexity app on iPhone.

X's Grok app on iPhone.

Claude app on iPhone.

• However, we noticed that a screenshot of an open note on Apple's Notes app was similar to the app on Das' screen.

• This confirms that Das was using the Notes app and not an AI chatbot for his notes.

The Notes app was open on his phone.

Conclusion: A photograph showing the Notes app on Saurav Das' phone is being shared with the false claim that he used ChatGPT to talk to the media.
