Description

When using the mobile GPT app, if a user types a prompt in normal (non-plan) mode and then switches to plan mode before submitting, the previously entered prompt text is cleared.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the GPT app on mobile (iOS/Android)
  2. Start typing a prompt in normal mode
  3. Before submitting, switch to plan mode
  4. Observe that the text input field is now empty — the previously typed prompt is lost

Expected behavior

The user's typed prompt should be preserved when switching between normal mode and plan mode. Users often realize mid-typing that their task would benefit from plan mode, and having to re-type the prompt is a friction point.

Impact

This is a UX papercut that interrupts the user's flow. Preserving input across mode switches would reduce friction and improve the overall experience.
