New ChatGPT Mac app may move the old app to Trash
Installing the new ChatGPT from a web download moved the existing app to Trash instead of renaming it “.” A backup made it possible to the older app, but the old and new versions interfered with each other when installed on the same Mac. No re way to run both versions together was identified.
Key points
- The new installation moved the existing ChatGPT app to Trash.
- The old app was not automatically renamed “.”
- Restoring a backup did not allow both versions to run together without conflict.
- Back up the app before updating if you may need to it.
