Why are Project chats showing in Recent?

I use Projects as separate workspaces for long-term work such as research, coding, reports, and planning. Each Project has its own context, files, and conversations, so separation is important for focus and organization.

I use Projects every day, and this change is very noticeable. Before the recent update, Project chats did not show up in Recent like this. Now they do, and it breaks the workflow.

Right now, Project chats also appear in Recent. This makes Projects feel more like labels than real workspaces.

The issue is not just clutter. It also causes unnecessary context switching: when I open Recent for one task, I get pulled back into unrelated projects.

If a chat already belongs to a Project, it should stay inside that Project unless I choose otherwise.

Please add a simple toggle:

Hide Project chats from Recent

Noticed the same issue today. Very annoying. Please revert or add a setting.

I have the same problem. My recent chats are now chaotic. Why Open AI changed the previous setting?

Please revert back. It clutters the workflow and causes confusion.

I really hope they fix this because this change is awful. One of the main reasons to have proyects is to avoid seeing them all in recent chats.

I really need this to be fixed !

I agree. The mess in the “recent” is very frustrating to me.

it’s a total chaos now with your chats
