Codex App July 27, 2026 Changelog

This update is all about making the ChatGPT iPhone app feel more stable and personalized. It matters most to people who use the app's advanced features, like voice chats, plugins (which are like mini-apps that give the AI extra abilities), and long, complicated projects.

What's new

• Smarter typing hints: When you're typing a prompt, the app can now guess what you're trying to say and auto-complete it. It now includes "skills" from any plugins you have installed and perfectly matches the hints you'd get on a computer.
• Better text previews: If you ask the AI to look at specific text, you can still click and preview those references even after you've already sent your message.

Improvements

• Voice chats: They now use the exact voice you picked in your settings and will give you a heads-up if you're about to hit your usage limit.
• Smofer multitasking: The app is much better at reconnecting to your current task if you swipe away to another app or unlock your phone with Face ID.
• Clearer goal tracking: If you're working on a long task with a specific goal, the progress bar is much clearer when you hit pause or resume.
• Better visuals: When the AI creates charts or tables right in the chat, they now show up correctly with the right colors and themes.
• Faster big changes: If you're working on a large "workspace" (a shared space for coding or writing) and looking at a "diff" (a view that shows what was added or deleted from a file), the screen moves much faster without lagging.

Fixes

• Random model switching: We fixed an issue where restoring an old task would accidentally change the AI model you were using.
• Frozen keyboard: We stopped the text box (composer) from freezing up right after you sent a prompt.
• Wrong tool labels: We fixed the names, pictures, and placeholder text for the browser and computer tools so they make sense and look right.
