Android: Project name not shown when opening chats from search
Description: When using ChatGPT on Android, there is a UI inconsistency when opening chats that belong to a Project. If I open a chat via the Project view, the Project name is visible (at least partially) in the header. However, if I: • Use the search function • Open a chat from the search results → the Project name is not shown anywhere in the chat view or header , even though the chat clearly belongs to a Project. Additional observation: • The (⋯) menu shows “Remove from project” , which confirms that the chat is part of a Project • So the Project association exists, but it is not visible in the UI when opened from search
Steps to reproduce:
• Open ChatGPT (Android) • Ensure you have chats inside a Project • Use search to find one of those chats • Open it from the search results • Observe that the Project name is missing from the header • Expected behavior: The Project name should be visible in the chat header regardless of how the chat is opened.
Actual behavior: The Project name is only visible when opening the chat via the Project view, but not when opening via search.
Impact: This creates a usability issue when working with multiple projects: • The user cannot identify which Project the chat belongs to • There is a risk of continuing work in the wrong context

This has also been confirmed via OpenAI support and logged as a UI inconsistency.
