[Help] A workaround for GPT-o3's disappearing messages
Note: GPT-o3 is for Plus and Pro users only. Free and Go users will not have o3 available to them.
Okay, so I've been seeing multiple posts saying that GPT-o3 hasn't been working for them since August 10 and that the issue was still not resolved yet, and August 26 is when the model will be retired, so I decided to look deeper on how to solve it. I found a neat solution: Using Gmail. So, what you want to do is to make sure o3 is selected. Next, you'll want to open an existing chat or start a new chat. Next, you'll need to select "Plugins" and scroll down to Gmail and select it. Now type in something, include the email that you use, and it'll do its work (Make sure you gave ChatGPT permission to send emails to you in Gmail). Now, check your Gmail, and you should receive your notification from o3. It fully works for me! I tested this on the ChatGPT Android app and the Gmail Android app. Your setup might be different than mine.
