Service eligibility and regional restrictions
PuppyIP serves only compliant overseas businesses and their authorized personnel. Proxy services are not available in mainland China. The service may only be used for lawful business activities outside mainland China. Use of this service within mainland China is prohibited.
Hosting a proxy IP or server overseas does not change these restrictions. The service must not be provided to end users in mainland China through relaying, forwarding, sharing or resale. Before use, read the Terms of Service.
Key Takeaways
- The iOS list covers inline notification replies, direct sharing, Action button access, faster loading from notifications and Gmail links that open the relevant message.
- Faster voice connections are a product-team claim. Saying goodbye can end a call hands-free; no latency measurements or recognition-language scope were published.
- Windows improvements cover continuing work between dots and local chats, computer and browser use, and local MCP tool and plugin workflows.
- The thread does not announce broader plan or regional eligibility, extra charges, a quota reset or simultaneous availability for every account.
What changed on iOS? Start with notifications and sharing
At 22:08 UTC on November 4, 2026, or 06:08 on November 5 in Beijing, Samir described these features as updates in the latest app release. Tibo replied at 00:31 UTC on November 5 to acknowledge the improvements. The individual feature claims come from the original thread; his brief reply does not establish additional capabilities.
The iOS list includes replying to your dot directly within a notification and sharing content directly to it. It also includes faster loading from notifications and Gmail links that open the exact email in the Gmail app. These are the team’s feature descriptions. This article has not tested a reader’s device and has no comparable loading-time measurements.
Update ChatGPT and check that you are signed in to the account that owns your dot, then inspect the reply option offered in a notification. Before sharing material, confirm the destination dot and content. If an option is missing, record the platform, app version and exact action rather than inferring an account suspension or service outage.
How do you open your dot with the iPhone Action button?
OpenAI’s Message your dot documentation explains the Apple Shortcuts setup. Create a shortcut, add ChatGPT’s Open your dot action, select your dot and choose a Mode. Messaging opens the composer, Dictation turns speech into a text message, and Call starts a voice conversation or returns to an active call.
On an iPhone with an Action button, open Settings > Action Button, choose Shortcut, then use Choose a Shortcut to select the saved shortcut. The action opens ChatGPT and still requires authentication. If you switch accounts and the shortcut says the dot is unavailable, return to the account that owns it. Dictation is unavailable during an active call.
The documentation describes widgets and shortcuts as rolling out with ChatGPT for iOS 1.2026.279. That is not a version number supplied for the November 4 thread. The post gives no minimum version for the new notification replies or sharing features, and does not confirm equivalent Android controls.
What do goodbye and the Windows improvements mean?
The voice update says calls connect faster and that saying goodbye lets your dot end a call. Ending a call does not cancel assigned work. The thread gives no connection times, measured improvement, recognition-language scope or exhaustive device list.
The Windows post lists more reliable continuation between dots and local chats, computer and browser use, and local MCP tool and plugin workflows. MCP is a protocol for connecting agents to tools. Local tools still need their existing connections and permissions; the post does not announce automatic access to local files, browser accounts or every plugin.
If an older task is stuck, inspect the original task’s activity and actual outputs before deciding where to continue. An app update is not a reason to repeat a payment, sending action or deployment. A new reply does not establish that the original task has ended.
Which access and permission checks still apply?
These controls are relevant to users who already have dots access. The thread does not announce new plans or countries, pricing changes or a new allowance policy. Official documentation still describes gradual rollout to eligible accounts. Check plan eligibility, administrator settings and the actual account entry separately.
Notifications, sharing and shortcuts inside the iOS app are separate from iMessage/RCS texting. OpenAI describes texting as a beta rolling out to Pro users in the United States. That texting restriction should not be applied to every iOS feature, and this update does not establish worldwide texting access. See the dots access and permissions guide for the broader checks.
Local files and apps still require an online computer with ChatGPT desktop open. Messaging channels, plugins and the computer connection have separate permissions. Do not expand access merely to make a control appear, or include passwords, private emails or proxy credentials in public feedback.
How should you report an improvement you cannot see?
Describe one reproducible operation: device and app version, the entry you used, expected and actual results, and whether the original task is still running. The team says you can tell your dot directly what you want built or fixed and that feedback will reach the team. This is not a promise of a particular fix or response time.
Check three places when stopping work. OpenAI’s controls documentation says Pause stops only the dot’s current main task. Stop delegated tasks separately in Activity, and disable or delete future recurring work in Scheduled. After saying goodbye to end a call, inspect those tasks if you also need work to stop.
For missing eligibility, unauthorized plugins or allowance prompts, check the relevant product conditions first. Network troubleshooting is appropriate when evidence points to DNS, TLS or timeouts. A different proxy exit cannot add subscription eligibility, administrator permission or quota.

Frequently Asked Questions
Did this also announce a Codex or Work quota reset?
No. The verified thread describes app features and reliability improvements, with no new reset announcement. Tibo’s reply cannot establish a full reset for every account, and it does not supply a new Day number.
Does Android get the same notification replies and Action button?
The post lists inline replies, sharing and the iPhone Action button under iOS improvements. It does not confirm equivalent Android features. General mobile access and individual platform controls need separate checks.
Does a Gmail deep link grant my dot access to my inbox?
No. A deep link describes how a link opens the relevant email. The Gmail plugin connection, account authorization and permitted operations remain separate. Opening a link does not establish permission to read or send mail.
Do the reliability improvements guarantee automatic recovery of an old task?
No such guarantee was announced. The thread gives no recovery outcome for each existing task. Inspect the original task’s activity, outputs and pending requests, then continue that task. Do not repeat an external action whose outcome is unknown.
