OpenAI has rolled out an update for the ChatGPT app on iPhone and iPad, enhancing access to its coding tool, Codex. Users who encountered a sign-in issue when linking Codex with accounts using Sign in with Apple can now attempt to reconnect, as the bug has been resolved. Previously, these users were mistakenly directed to a Google sign-in form.
The latest version of Codex introduces several new features, including support for push notifications that alert users upon task completion on the Mac, eliminating the need for constant monitoring. Enhancements also include the new /fork command, with additional commands expected soon. OpenAI's regular updates have made Codex progressively more capable, with significant feature releases typically occurring on Thursdays.
Additionally, users can now utilize Codex on their Mac without disrupting cursor control, allowing simultaneous usage of other applications. Upgrades to ChatGPT and Codex capabilities have been boosted by the release of GPT-5.5 and Images 2 for image generation. The Codex desktop app is available for download, and Codex was initially launched as a command line interface tool in February.
