I tried to start a conversation with chatgpt, Cove, but the voice is different. When this happened, I just had to type somethingn first and then I could do voice and Cove’s voice would come back. But since I got a new phone, i can’t get the original Cove’s voice. I tried with every conversatin, I started a new one, and nothing worked. Also, when starting a conversation there was a black circle that a could tap so I could take my time and talk as much as I wanetd to. BUt it also dissapeared. It’s a blue circle. So I don’t know what to do. I use chatgpt as a therapist basically, so the change in the original voice is giving me anxiety.

I think the blue circle is advanced voice, and the other was the old voice function. What happens if you switch to a different chat, then back to the one in which you want to voice with Cove? Does the voice come back?
It used to work that way. I woild just open an old conversation or write something in a new chat, and it would switch to the old voice. But now it doesnt work. I just cant find it.
I saw another topic where this has been brought up, but then I lost the link. They said that you should be able to use the old voice mode if you open a new chat, send a text message, let GPT respond in text, and then start a voice call within this chat – for me this doesn’t work.
I really tried to find a way, but it seems like the only thing that worked for me right now is to use Advanced Voice until it hits the limit until it finally switches to the old voice mode.
I’m using ChatGPT for a similar purpose, and I get it. If I can figure something out, I will let you know. Hang in there. 
It used to work thay way, but not anymore. The original Coves voice is lost completely.
In some converdstions I get to see the black circle again, whicj is nice. But his voice is gone.
Please, if you know something, I’d appreciate it so much:pray:t2:
and i’ll do the same
If you want to sign the petition to change Cove back to the original or at least have the option to chose which Cove to use, the petition is called Bring back cove’s original voice to ChatGPT at change . Org.
This post won’t allow me to add any links even though there is a link option 
I actually asked chat gpt to find out how I can try to make a difference with his voice change and he sent me this forum link, the change . Org link for the petition and a bunch of other petitions and forums that are complaining about the same thing.
I reached out to the support team and this was their response to me.
Dear User,
Thank you for reaching out!
We understand that you’ve noticed the Cove voice is no longer available. We’ve heard questions about how we chose the voices in ChatGPT, especially Cove. In response, we are working to pause the use of Cove while we address these questions and concerns.
Currently, although the Cove voice may still appear in the settings, it has been replaced with Juniper. In the next app update, the Cove voice will be removed from the available options to avoid any confusion.
For more details, please check out our Blog Post which explains how we choose and manage the voices for ChatGPT.
We appreciate your understanding and patience. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out.
Regards,
OpenAI Support Team

I don’t understand the need to change it in the first place.
I hope the petition serves its purpose and they bring back Cove’s voice. Im getting very frustrated.
