Bug Report: If I open a shared chat link and view it in the Android app (beta versions 1.2023.305 and 307), it seems to "stick" so that, even if I don't tap "Continue" and I back out and start what appears to be a normal new chat, the app will actually do a "behind-the-scenes" continue of the shared chat I viewed. This is not immediately noticeable, but becomes clear if I navigate to history and re-enter the new chat--then you can see that it's actually a continuation chat. Examples with photos below.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a shared chat link, view it in app - example link: https://chat.openai.com/share/89e3f00f-055f-40cf-8d77-6b4b093b3b7f
  2. Don't continue the chat, but instead back out and try to start a new chat
  3. New chat appears to start normally
  4. Navigate to history and re-enter the new chat - can see that it actually started as a continuation of the viewed shared chat

Expected result:

Non-continued new chat should start

Actual result:

Chat continues from shared chat
