Release notes

We’ve updated the ChatGPT desktop app to make it easier to choose between Chat and Work, find your conversations and Projects, and continue Work across devices. These updates are now live for all plans on macOS and Windows.

macOS and Windows

• A clearer desktop layout: A global switcher lets you choose between ChatGPT and Codex. In ChatGPT, choose Chat for quick questions and conversational help, or Work to complete tasks end to end.

• Unified Recents: Chat and Work conversations now appear together in Recents, where you can sort, filter, and pin them.

• Projects in the desktop app: Your existing ChatGPT Projects now appear in the app. You can start a Chat conversation inside a Project or begin a Work thread using Project context.

• Continue Work across devices: Cloud Work conversations now sync across web, mobile, and desktop, so you can start on one surface and continue on another. Local conversations stay on your computer.

• Codex remains unchanged: As part of this update, Codex remains a separate view, and its workflows and history are unchanged. Quick Chats remain available for fast conversations.

• No changes to workspace controls: Existing workspace access permissions, security settings, governance, and spend controls are unchanged.

We’re increasing the character limit for custom instructions in ChatGPT. Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Business, and Education users can now save up to 5,000 characters, up from 1,500, giving them more room to customize ChatGPT’s response style and behavior.

Apps with sync are now available for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu workspaces with Enterprise Key Management (EKM) enabled. This update applies to all apps with sync.

The supporting apps-with-sync documentation confirms that apps with sync are available for Enterprise and Edu workspaces with EKM enabled.

We’ve rolled out a new way to search your chats, projects, images, and documents in ChatGPT on web, iOS, and Android. You can quickly find past chats, projects, images, and documents from one place.

Start searching from the ChatGPT sidebar to find what you need across everything, or use filters to narrow results by content type. Select a result to open the chat, project, or file directly in ChatGPT.

Available on all ChatGPT plans globally.

ChatGPT is available again on WhatsApp in the European Economic Area (EEA). Users can get started without a ChatGPT account by messaging the verified 1-800-CHATGPT contact at +1-800-242-8478.

On WhatsApp, users can message ChatGPT, upload images, send voice notes, create images, and use ChatGPT in many languages. Linking a ChatGPT account is optional and provides higher usage limits.

Availability is based on the country code associated with the user's WhatsApp number and may roll out gradually. Usage limits apply.

ChatGPT is also available on Kakao in South Korea and Viber in supported markets.
