DAILY UPDATE
OpenAI will turn off the Voice feature in ChatGPT for macOS soon.
OpenAI says the Voice feature in the ChatGPT mac app will be removed, but this does not mean voice chat is ending. The company is changing how voice works to build a better system in the future.
The Voice feature in ChatGPT for macOS will stop working on January 15, 2026
Other parts of ChatGPT on macOS will stay fully active with no problems
Voice chat will still work on the web, iOS, Android, and Windows
This shows OpenAI is rebuilding its voice system to make it stronger and more modern. Voice chat is becoming a key way people use AI, so this change points to bigger and better voice tools coming later.
