Chat-only mode (without image generation)

Hi there,

I love using ChatGPT for text-based conversations and daily support — I don’t use image generation or other tools. But lately, the app keeps lagging or crashing, especially when others are generating images. I recently saw a pop-up saying image generation may take longer, which made me realize these high-usage features are affecting everyone, even those of us who just want to chat.

Please consider adding a “Chat-Only Mode” for users who prefer pure typing with no tools. Or even.chat plus image analysis with no image generation . It would really help reduce lag and make the experience smoother for people like me who aren’t using image generation . A lightweight, stable version for text-only users would be such a gift.

Hi, welcome to the community!
