ChatGPT app image marking may have disappeared for some users
The ChatGPT app no longer shows an option to draw on an image, circle an area, or add simple marks in at least one reported case. The app shows the instead, but that does not help when the goal is to point out something inside an existing image.
The practical issue is that ChatGPT can miss details in an image even after a written explanation, and manual marking was a way to make the target clearer. It is not clear whether this is a removed feature, a temporary bug, or a change only visible to some users.
Key points
- A ChatGPT app user no longer sees tools for drawing, circling, or marking an uploaded image.
- The app shows the instead, which is not useful when editing or pointing at an existing image.
- Manual marks help when ChatGPT does not notice the exact part of an image being described.
- There is no confirmation yet that the feature was officially removed.
