The latest update to the ChatGPT iOS app introduces changes to the Voice Mode UI, which some users have started to see, likely as part of a staged rollout or A/B test.

The new layout brings prompt suggestions and subtle adjustments to the voice interaction screen, while the update itself now supports Apple’s Liquid Glass UI on iOS 26, giving the app a modern, native look.

Digging deeper, new strings within the app hint at a daily summary feature, with messages about receiving a “fresh new update every morning,” being able to “create for tomorrow,” and “enable notifications to catch it each day.” There’s also language suggesting users can give targeted feedback, influence what they see next, and review their feedback history.

These hidden messages suggest a bigger shift towards daily personalized insights, with the app promising to “surface what’s helpful to you once a day” and “create it for you tomorrow” if users specify a focus area. It’s not confirmed, but this aligns closely with previous clues around a so-called “golden hour” announcement on the web, thought to be tied to memory features or even the recently spotted alpha agent models.

If these features launch, they’ll likely benefit users who want a more tailored experience, with ChatGPT adapting its daily content and behavior based on user feedback, something recently implemented by Notion’s AI Agent as well. OpenAI’s move here would fit with their broader strategy of making ChatGPT more adaptive, persistent, and user-focused, especially now that partner apps like Notion are surfacing similar feedback-driven agents.

Expect this daily update or “golden hour” feature to live within or alongside the memory section, potentially tying notification-driven summaries and user-tuned personalization into a single workflow. As always, some features may remain experimental or limited to select users for now.
