What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.727.51351

What subscription do you have?

ChatGPT Plus

What platform is your computer?

Windows 10

What issue are you seeing?

Images uploaded to my ChatGPT conversations are visible during the original session, but after I close and reopen the same conversation later, those images can no longer be previewed or accessed.

The problem occurs in the same conversations across:
• ChatGPT web
• Windows desktop app
• Android app

The messages and image placeholders remain visible, but the underlying images do not load. Therefore, this is not limited to a browser cache, device, or app installation.

This affects multiple image-based interior-design conversations and prevents me from continuing edits using previously uploaded base images.

Please investigate whether the stored image files, attachment permissions, or the links between the conversations and uploaded files have become unavailable.
