ChatGPT share link not working? What to check, and another way to send it

If a ChatGPT share link isn't working, check that the whole link was copied, then ask the sender for a fresh one: they may have deleted the chat or the link. If you're the one sending, there's a simpler way: say “make this a Linkit” and send one link to a page with just the answer. It opens in any browser, no ChatGPT account needed.

Three things to try

What should I check first?

  1. 1

    Check the whole link

    Links get cut short in a text or an email. Make sure the address is complete, with nothing missing from the end, and open it in a normal browser.

  2. 2

    Ask for a fresh link

    The sender may have deleted the chat or turned the link off. A new link from the same chat is the quickest fix.

  3. 3

    Send a page instead

    If you're the sender, skip the share link: make the answer a Linkit and send that. Anyone can open it, no account needed.

Ready to copy

Type this under the answer.

Connect Linkit to ChatGPT once, in a web browser (not the app). Then type this under the answer you want to send.

@Linkit Make this a Linkit. Keep it clear and easy to read on a phone.
In ChatGPT: type @Linkit, pick it, then your line.

Step 1, in pictures

How do I connect Linkit to ChatGPT?

Once, in a web browser at chatgpt.com (not the app; a phone's browser works too); it takes about a minute. These are the real screens, with a ring on what to press. The address to paste:

The other way

How do I send a ChatGPT answer another way?

Connect Linkit to ChatGPT once, type the line above under the answer, and ChatGPT replies with a link to a clean page. The page shows the answer, not your chat, and it opens in any browser.

Connect once

In a web browser, not the app; about a minute, and the free plan works. The steps.

Type one line

Under the answer: “@Linkit, make this a Linkit.” Say who it's for and it fits them.

Send the link

Open it to check it, then send it by text, WhatsApp or email. Ask for changes later; the link stays the same.

On the Linkit side

What if a Linkit link stopped working?

A Linkit link stops working when its time is up or when it's deleted. Both are easy to sort out.

It reached its time

On Free, a link stays up 7 days. With Linkit Pro you choose: 1 hour, 5 hours, 1 day, 7 days, up to a year, or forever. When the time is up, the link stops working on its own.

It was deleted

Deleted links wait in My links → Recently deleted for 30 days. Restore one and it works again at the same address.

You need it up longer

With Pro you can change a link's time any time in My links, or by asking your AI.

Someone can't open it

Check the whole address was pasted. It's a readable linkit.page address that opens in any browser, with no app or account.

Questions

More questions

Why won't a ChatGPT share link open?

Usually the link was cut short when it was pasted, or the sender has since deleted the chat or the link. Check the address is complete, then ask for a fresh one.

Does the other person need ChatGPT to open a Linkit?

No. A Linkit link opens in any browser on any phone or computer, with no account or app.

Can I send just one answer from a long chat?

Yes. Type the line under that answer, or say “make this answer a Linkit”. The page holds only that answer.

I deleted my Linkit page by mistake.

Open My links → Recently deleted and restore it. You have 30 days, and it comes back at the same address.

How long does a Linkit link last?

On Free, a link stays up 7 days. With Linkit Pro you choose: 1 hour, 5 hours, 1 day, 7 days, up to a year, or forever. On any plan you can delete a link sooner and it stops working at once.
