ChatGPT Work Mac App Wipes Old History
jackfreund3 · reddit · 2026-07-15
A user warns that upgrading the Mac ChatGPT Desktop app to ChatGPT Work removes your ChatGPT Classic chat history from the desktop client, making it inaccessible via the app.
Key points from the post:
- The chat records aren't actually deleted; they are still visible on the web.
- However, the desktop app loses access to the old Classic history after the upgrade.
- The legacy ChatGPT Classic Mac App is also no longer available for download.
The author wants to alert others planning to upgrade so they don't mistakenly think their history was erased.
