Since at least an hour ago, I haven’t been able to edit my prompts on the browser version of ChatGPT (on mobile; not near my PC to test it at the moment), meaning I have to start a new chat every time.

I prefer my chats to be in groups of 10-15 edits, so I’m not a fan of this change if it’s deliberate.

Haven’t been able to remove GPTs from the sidebar either.

Tried on Chrome and Opera.

Same problem . For more than 2 hours , the edit pencit icon is not present. It is annoying to make new chats just to make changes to text prompts. Same problem whether on Google or other browsers.

To OpenAI , please fix this issue .

Same here. At around 6-7am when I first got on it didn’t work. I can however say it still works on PC, but no longer on mobile. It’s very annoying.

I believe this happened at the beginning of the year as well and they fixed it with an update. But it’s bloody annoying. I stopped paying for premium because of this. I love chatgpt but Google Gemini has been my go-to for the past few hours.

Unfortunately, same.

Suggestion to who has PC:

Until its fixed, use pc.

I pretty hope they are trying to fix this issue.

Hey there! Thanks for flagging - looking into it. Do you mind sharing whether this happens when you’re logged into ChatGPT or are you signed out?

To verify, if you’re signed out, it should say sign up in the bottom left corner.

Thanks!

It’s happening regardless of being logged in or out.

My edit was working until just half an hour ago or so.

Thanks for replying.

It happens when I’m logged in. I can’t use ChatGPT while logged out, so I can’t confirm whether or not that makes a difference.

I can confirm it works as normal on PC. It’s only mobile browsers that seem to be affected.

If happens for both logged in and logged out users on the site. Can you _please_ fix it as soon as possible? Also, I tried to use the 'show desktop site" mode on mobile browser, but it still doesnt show up.

Same as the others . The edit button has disappeared from mobile browsers . So far, PC or laptop can work . But it is an convenience for me and most people who use mobile phones to access Chatgpt . Hopeful that this issue will be fix in the shortest time possible.
