Solution!
Like everyone else, I updated Codex, it deleted itself and the download appeared to be the installer for the old ChatGPT. However... Quit (the old) ChatGPT, then install from this new installer.
Then ChatGPT Codex opens, WITH all your conversations from the old Codex... as well as your conversations with the old ChatGPT (under the "Chat" option).
I was having this issue and after installing and installing ChatGPT desktop, I finally got the ChatGpt Work, that has CODEX merged to it. So, if you still didn't get it right, try uninstall and install again and again and maybe again hehe.
I've also updated it.
The first upgrade popup/highlight was a notification that "Codex is now the chatgpt app" and even gave me a checkbox to keep the old Codex icon.
It was a smooth upgrade so I'm guessing this was just a case of "next-next-next" without paying any attention to what was happening.

Well this is fun, all of my chats are gone and I can't seem to get them back?
I think Open AI merged codex and the ChatGPT app. This happened to me as well but still dont see the "new" version after the update which is odd.

same here. this is maddening
Dude I know right, restarted my whole system to make sure still nothing? any luck on your side?
An update that deletes the app and replaces it with ChatGPT sounds like a forced migration—check if OpenAI announced Codex is being sunset.
The web page shows codex is embedded in chatgpt but my chatgpt shows differently

Same here. But where is Codex in ChatGPT app? I can only use codex as part of VS code extension. I talking about desktop.
This is expected behavior; the Codex app has been rebranded as the ChatGPT app.
Hmph. There was no Update button in ChatGPT, but sure enough, restarting it and now I get "ChatGPT Codex".
I'm not sure I like this at all, but hopefully it means the ChatGPT app won't leak memory and need to be restarted every few hours!
I did that too and now I am unable to access all my ChatGPT chats!
