It seems that chatGPT on android app uses LaTex to display formula, but it does not work at all, and makes complex results unreadeable

I confirm this behavior. I am a Plus user running the app on Android 14.  
When I want LaTex formulas to be correctly displayed, I have to switch to the web client.

Please fix this.

here’s a screenshot of the problem: it seems like the app has no problem showing LaTex tags when they appear on a line by themselves; it only struggles when the LaTex tags are part of a sentence.

Hope this helps

We are experiencing the same problem. Standalone formulas display properly. Formulas that are intermixed with text in a sentence show as LaTex.
