Update Summary
ChatGPT now defaults new Health plugin connections to each user’s global Plugins permission setting. Automatic switching from Instant to Thinking is retired for Plus and Pro users on the web, and the Higher intelligence setting is removed.
Update Details
Security
- Health permissions still require confirmation for sensitive actions, helping prevent unintended sharing of connected data.
New Features
- New Health plugin connections now inherit the user's global Plugins permission setting by default.
Hints
- Health permissions can be changed anytime in Settings → Plugins → Health.
- For Plus and Pro users on the web, automatic switching from Instant to Thinking is retired; users can still choose a model option manually.
- The Higher intelligence setting is removed from ChatGPT on the web for Plus and Pro plans, though automatic switching may still occur for safety purposes.
