Did OpenAI obliterate the ability to use Codex from mobile the way you can use Claude Code on iOS?
No, remotes still work fine

On Windows, ChatGPT is now known as ChatGPT Classic, and Codex is now known as ChatGPT (Beta).
I see they are fully embracing the Microsoft model, soon we'll have ChatGPT Classic, ChatGPT (Beta), and ChatGPT (New)
Re: ChatGPT Work
#143This unification is garbage. Chats that are about topics other than programming projects are relegated to a tiny, unsearchable popup window. Renaming the old app "ChatGPT Classic" implies that it will be discontinued at some point. This is a serious regression. What existed before worked fine. I would expect the mode switcher to include a Chat mode, which would recreate the old, chat-focused UI, for asking about rand…
I'm ok with the merging, but would like just the normal ChatGPT to be a drop down along with "Work" and "Codex."
Re: ChatGPT Work
#144I agree that the new UX is confusing and ill-designed.
A UI is supposed to help the user develop a mental model for what's happening under the covers. But what's happening when you switch from ChatGPT Work to ChatGPT Codex? If I switch it while in an existing session, nothing seems to happen. Does that mean it did nothing? If so, why let the user switch it at all.
When I switch it in the new conversation state, the help text changes from "What should we build?" to "What should we get done?". As near as I can tell, the switch gives me access to different sets of tools. But does that mean that some tools are not available in both modes? Why? Why not let the agent access all tools and pick the one based on context? Why are you forcing me to choose up front? And what happens if I choose poorly?
I get that OpenAI is moving fast, but I feels like a single round of usability testing might have helped.

So let me get this straight: 1) If you have the Codex desktop app installed, and you update from within the app, it replaces itself with the new chat-demoted-to-an-overlay app called "ChatGPT" and renames your existing ChatGPT app to "ChatGPT Classic." 2) If you get the new ChatGPT app and replace your current app with it, you don't get a "Classic" app and there's no way to download it. 3) They really named an app "C…
Lol, this has Google energy.

Chat is there... it's just can't be in a full-screen anymore.
Not allowing full screen is the most insane thing for a “chat app ported from the web”… the browser probably has a better experience now…
Re: ChatGPT Work
#147ChatGPT Codex launches, and it's the worst of both worlds.
Who would have thought?

I guess the smarter ai gets the dumber we have to be to compensate

Update after using the new ChatGPT.app for a bit:
Lots of old ChatGPT functionality missing:
- No voice mode
- No Deep Research
- No explicit Search toggle
- No Record mode (meeting summarizer)
- No Canvas (good riddance)
- No custom GPTs
- Old chat threads are hidden (have to open a new chat, then click “See all” under “Recent chats” – or use the “Search Tasks…” function)
Re: ChatGPT Work
#150I think their goal is to merge Codex and ChatGPT usage.
Why did they break a perfectly working system.
Instead of keeping Codex work isolated, now I have to deal with other constant changing bloat.
