An update that deletes the app and replaces it with ChatGPT sounds like a forced migration—check if OpenAI announced Codex is being sunset.

The web page shows codex is embedded in chatgpt but my chatgpt shows differently

Solution! Like everyone else, I updated Codex, it deleted itself and the download appeared to be the installer for the old ChatGPT. However... Quit (the old) ChatGPT, then install from this new installer. Then ChatGPT Codex opens, WITH all your conversations from the old Codex... as well as your conversations with the old ChatGPT (under the "Chat" option).

I think Open AI merged codex and the ChatGPT app. This happened to me as well but still dont see the "new" version after the update which is odd. https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/app

same here. this is maddening

Dude I know right, restarted my whole system to make sure still nothing? any luck on your side?

I've also updated it.

The first upgrade popup/highlight was a notification that "Codex is now the chatgpt app" and even gave me a checkbox to keep the old Codex icon.

It was a smooth upgrade so I'm guessing this was just a case of "next-next-next" without paying any attention to what was happening.
