OpenAI Adds 3-Level ChatGPT Effort Control, Updates Web Navigation
3 articles · Updated · Moneycontrol · Jun 2
OpenAI quietly added a long-press send-button shortcut in ChatGPT’s mobile app that lets users choose how much reasoning a reply uses before submitting a prompt.
The hidden menu can show options such as Instant, Thinking and Extended, giving users a faster way to trade off speed against deeper responses without opening extra settings.
On the web app, chats with at least 5 responses now get an automatic table of contents, with a right-side navigation icon linking to discussion sections in long conversations.
OpenAI also updated GPT-5.5 Instant—the default model for many chats—to improve readability and conversational flow while cutting overly long answers and excessive bullet formatting.
The changes fit OpenAI’s broader push to simplify ChatGPT across mobile and web while giving users more direct control over response depth.
