What issue are you seeing?
Hi, I’m experiencing what appears to be a UI/settings issue in the new ChatGPT Desktop app for macOS.
Even when I’m clearly inside ChatGPT, not Codex, when I open:
Settings → Personalization
the page only shows Codex-related settings, including:
Codex instructions
Codex memory
Enable local memories
Allow local memory generation from tool-assisted chats
I cannot see the regular ChatGPT personalization options, such as my ChatGPT memory/personalization settings.
I’ve attached screenshots showing that I’m inside ChatGPT and that the Personalization page is displaying Codex settings.
This seems to be either a UI routing issue or an incorrect settings context in the unified ChatGPT/Codex desktop app.
Please confirm whether this is expected behavior or a bug.
Thanks.
