Take a breath. Your old chats are usually still there.

ChatGPT keeps a list of your past chats when you are signed in. They sit in a side list on the screen.

If you do not see the list, look for a menu icon. It often hides the list on small screens.

Try this
  1. Make sure you are signed in with the same account you used before.
  2. Open the side list of chats. You may need to tap a menu button first.
  3. Scroll through the list and tap the chat you want to open again.
