The topic ChatGPT is working on a slew of new features for Android users<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve had long conversations with ChatGPT, you\u2019re probably well aware of how difficult it can be to go through the entire thread trying to find a particular bit of information. It seems ChatGPT is working on a feature to help you find things faster, as well as a couple of other new features.<\/p>\n

While tinkering with the ChatGPT app on Android (v1.2026.146), we were able to manually enable a few interesting new features that are in the works.<\/p>\n

First, there\u2019s a new \u2018Find in chat\u2019 option within the three-dot menu. You can tap on it, type some text, and it will find said text within the chat. This can be very helpful for people who often have long chats with the AI and have to scroll for ages trying to find one particular piece of information.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that it was always possible to find text within a chat thread on the web, thanks to the ever-useful Ctrl + F shortcut. However, things aren\u2019t that easy on a smartphone without a dedicated feature like this.<\/p>\n

OpenAI is also working on changes to the app\u2019s UI. The plus icon, which currently shows a long scrollable list of options like Deep Research, Thinking, Web Search, and Create Image, could become slightly more organized. We spotted a new \u2018Plugins\u2019 option that includes features like Deep Research, Thinking, and others.<\/p>\n

Other changes we enabled include new List and Grid options, an option to select multiple files in the Library, as well as the ability to add files from the ChatGPT Library to other chats by using the \u201c@\u201d symbol. The latter could prove useful and will certainly be easier than going into the Library, finding the image, and then attaching it to a chat.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear when these features will roll out to users, but I\u2019m hoping they are added sooner rather than later. We will keep you updated on any future developments.<\/p>\n
