Android app — Google Calendar integration appears frozen because confirmation popup is invisible
OpenAI Developer Community
May 6, 2026
Issue observed on ChatGPT Android app with Google Calendar integration.
Environment:
* Android app (not browser)
* Google Calendar connected correctly
* Same account works perfectly on desktop/web
Problem:
When creating a Calendar event from the ChatGPT Android app, the interface appears to freeze or hang indefinitely.
However, after testing on desktop, it became clear that ChatGPT is actually waiting for a confirmation popup (“Confirm / Deny”) before creating the event.
On desktop:
* the popup appears correctly and centered.
On Android app:
* the confirmation popup does not appear visibly,
* may render outside viewport,
* or may fail to gain focus.
Result:
Users may think Calendar integration is broken, while the action is actually pending hidden confirmation.
Additional observations:
* Integration itself works correctly.
* Once confirmed on desktop, events are created normally.
* Problem seems UI/render related rather than authentication related.
Possible fix:
Ensure connector confirmation dialogs are always visible and focused on mobile app UI.
