ChatGPT iOS Model Selector Slammed as a Mess After GPT-5.6
Accomplished-Let3871 · reddit · 2026-10-15
A user complains that since GPT-5.6, the ChatGPT iOS model selector is chaotic: a model chosen in Settings may not apply to new chats, existing chats switch models on their own, and switching chats or reopening the app resets the choice, forcing repeated re-selection. The author questions moving the selector deep into Settings and calls for restoring in-chat selection.
