Codex App Changelog — July 13, 2026 Update, Simplified

TLDR

You can now see charts and visual data directly inside your Codex tasks.
Turning your chat conversations into organized tasks is now much smoother and easier to track.
The typing area and menus are easier to use, especially when writing long prompts.
Several annoying bugs, like frozen screens during swipes and lost settings, have been fixed.
This update is all about making the Codex app on iOS much smoother and more visual, which is great news if you use it to manage projects, write code, or organize your thoughts. If you frequently turn your chat ideas into structured tasks, this release makes that process seamless, keeps the app from freezing up, and ensures you can actually see your control buttons even when your messages get super long.

Visuals inside your tasks: The app now supports "inline visualizations." This means if your task involves data, Codex can show charts, graphs, or diagrams directly inside the task view instead of making you open them in a separate window.

Better chat-to-task links: When you turn a conversation with the AI into a structured task, the app now creates reliable, direct links so you can jump back and forth without getting lost.
Clearer progress updates: The app has improved loading bars and visual styles to show you exactly what the AI is doing behind the scenes.
Better file feedback: When you tap to open a file, the app now gives clearer visual feedback so you know it's actually loading.
A smarter typing screen: When you write really long prompts or use large text sizes, the control buttons (the "composer") will now stay neatly visible right above your phone's keyboard instead of getting pushed off-screen.

Fast Mode memory: Fixed an issue where "Fast Mode" (a setting that speeds up the AI's responses) wouldn't save or load properly for each individual task.
First-prompt settings: Fixed a bug where your "approval presets" (the safety rules you set for what the AI is allowed to do) were being ignored on your very first message.
No more frozen screens: Fixed a glitch where swiping on the screen would cause autocomplete suggestions and task lists to freeze up and stop responding to your touch.

No breaking changes in this release.
