While testing for issues, ChatGPT for web was working fine with the ChatGPT responding instantly for both free and Plus subscription users. However, ChatGPT app for Android took longer to respond while the iOS app showed “Internal Server Error” after trying to process the prompt for some time.
The AI powered chatbot from OpenAI faced similar problems last month, where about 90 per cent of users reported outages for ChatGPT, as per Downdetector. At the time, the Android app for ChatGPT showed a similar error message stating that the server was facing problems. iOS app and the web version of ChatGPT were also unable to generate responses and showed a “Request Timeout” message after a while.
