I have been experiencing with my ChatGPT Plus account on my iPhone 7 Plus. When I access ChatGPT through Safari or Chrome, I can type a message, but when I click the send button, it remains greyed out, and the message is not sent.
This problem occurs only when I am logged into my paid ChatGPT Plus account. When I use the free version of ChatGPT without logging in, everything works fine.
Here are the steps I have already taken to try to resolve this issue:
Cleared the cache and cookies in both Safari and Chrome.
Disabled all extensions and plugins in Chrome.
Ensured that JavaScript is enabled in Safari.
Updated both Safari and Chrome to the latest versions.
Restarted my iPhone multiple times.
Checked my network settings and switched between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
Tried to access ChatGPT using different browser settings (normal and incognito modes).
Despite these efforts, the problem persists. This issue appears to be specific to my paid account, as I can use the free version without any problems. I am unable to use the ChatGPT app because it is incompatible with my iOS version.
I’m now getting this error message instead of it being greyed out
"Unusual activity has been detected from your device. Try again later. (89c445e2fe2b6a68)
I understand that OpenAI does not support iOS 15 for the app, but why are they blocking requests from browsers? I have tried Safari, Opera, Opera GX, DuckDuckGo, Chrome, Firefox, and Firefox Focus with many different configurations.
This makes ZERO sense. It’s ridiculous. Gemini works, Microsoft Copilot works, and other AIs work, but only ChatGPT doesn’t work. Why?
I’ll wait a couple of weeks, and if the problem persists, I will cancel my subscription since I will not change my phone.
It’s totally doable but usually it’s more effort to support old browsers and they probably made the cut it doesn’t worth it for them. Google wouldn’t allow itself to not work on ANY device, but I guess OpenAI is less of company.
Same! Angry! Why the APP doesn’t support early iOS? And Apple doesn’t let early iPhones update to iOS 16, and OpenAI doesn’t let explorer send message. This is a perfect trap to force people to buy a new iPhone!
