OpenAI to Merge ChatGPT Tabs and Retire Classic Desktop App by 2027PreviousNext

OpenAI plans to merge the Chat and Work tabs in its ChatGPT desktop app to simplify user experience, initially rolling out the change to select users for feedback. This update will allow users to share token allowances across functions without affecting ongoing work. Additionally, OpenAI will retire its older ChatGPT Classic app on January 30, 2027, encouraging users to transition to the newer unified app that combines ChatGPT, Work, and Codex features in one interface.
