What does "online" and "offline" mean?
Understand when your device is connected, and why it matters.
Online means your device is connected to the internet. Offline means it is not connected.
Think of it like a phone line. When you are online, your device can reach the internet. When you are offline, it cannot.
ChatGPT needs you to be online to work. If it stops answering, you may have gone offline for a moment.
Try this

- If you see it, you are likely online.
- If a page will not load, you may be offline. Try again in a moment.

Being offline is not a mistake. It just means you need to reconnect to keep going.
