It sounds like you’re running into a web-only ChatGPT issue (both mobile browser and desktop browser) while the native app still works. The knowledge sources don’t describe this exact symptom for a single “chat room,” but they do give general guidance for web access and loading problems.
Since the status page looks normal, this is most likely a browser / network interaction rather than a full outage. Here are the steps OpenAI recommends:
- Clear browser cache and cookies, then try again. [Troubleshooting errors]
- Use an incognito/private window and try opening ChatGPT there. [Why can’t I log in to ChatGPT?]
- Try a different browser (e.g., Chrome vs. Edge/Safari) on the same device. [Slow responses guide]
- Test a different network even if your Wi‑Fi seems fine (e.g., phone hotspot vs. home Wi‑Fi). This helps rule out silent blocking or filtering on your main network. [Network recommendations; How do I know my network is the issue?]
- If you’re on a company or school network, ask IT to confirm that ChatGPT-related domains (like
*.chatgpt.com,*.openai.com) are not being filtered or modified. [Network allowlist]
If the room still won’t load after trying those steps, the knowledge sources recommend contacting OpenAI support and including details (screenshots, exact error text, browser + OS, and whether it reproduces on other networks). You can reach support via the chat bubble at help.openai.com. [Troubleshooting errors]
