Problem Description:

If you are trying to log into the ChatGPT Android app and the "Continue" button remains inactive/grayed out with an infinite spinning loading wheel stuck on it, standard fixes like clearing app cache, reinstalling Chrome, or changing default browsers may not work.

​This specific issue frequently occurs on Android 16 (e.g., Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and other updated devices) due to a system bug in the Google Credential Manager framework.

​Root Cause:

When you have 5 or more Google accounts signed in on your Android device, the system's Google account picker overlay fails to build the list for third-party apps like ChatGPT. This causes the login page to hang indefinitely in an authentication loop, freezing the UI buttons.

​🛠️ Step-by-Step Fix:

1. ​Open your phone's Settings.

​2. Go to Accounts and backup > Manage accounts.

1. ​Check the list of connected Google accounts (accounts with the Google 'G' icon).

​4. Remove least-used Google accounts until you have 4 or fewer Google accounts remaining on your device. (Note: You do NOT need to remove non-Google accounts like WhatsApp, Microsoft, or Reddit).

5.​Force close the ChatGPT app from your Recent Apps screen.

​6. Reopen ChatGPT and proceed to log in.

​Once the Google account count is under the limit, the Credential Manager will instantly prompt the login pop-up and activate the "Continue" button. After logging in successfully, you can re-add your removed Google accounts back to your phone.

Sorun Tanımı:

ChatGPT Android uygulamasında oturum açmaya çalışırken "Devam Et" (Continue) butonunun pasif (gri) kalması, üzerine basılamaması veya buton üzerinde sonsuz bir yükleme/dönme çarkının (spinning wheel) takılı kalması sorunuyla karşılaşıyorsanız, bunun nedeni Android System WebView veya önbellek verileri olmayabilir.

​Özellikle Android 16 sürümünde ve yeni güncellenen cihazlarda (örneğin Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra vb.) ortaya çıkan bu kilitlenme, Google Kimlik Yöneticisi (Credential Manager) bileşenindeki bir sistem hatasından (bug) kaynaklanmaktadır.

​Neden Kaynaklanıyor?

Cihazınızda 5 veya daha fazla Google hesabı tanımlıysa, Android 16'nın varsayılan hesap seçim penceresi (overlay) arka planda çakışmaya girer ve ChatGPT uygulamasının giriş ekranına hesap listesini sunamaz. Bu durum uygulamanın giriş butonlarını kilitler.

​🛠️ Adım Adım Kesin Çözüm:

​1. Telefonunuzun Ayarlar menüsüne gidin.

​2. Hesaplar ve Yedekleme > Hesapları Yönet (Manage Accounts) sekmesine girin.

3.​Cihazınızda tanımlı olan Google hesaplarını inceleyin.

1. ​Kullanmadığınız veya geçici olarak kaldırabileceğiniz Google hesaplarını seçerek Google hesap sayısını 4 veya daha aza (ideal olarak 1-3 arasına) düşürün. (Diğer WhatsApp, Microsoft veya sosyal medya hesaplarınızı silmenize gerek yoktur, sadece Google hesapları etkilenmektedir).

5.​ChatGPT uygulamasını son uygulamalar ekranından tamamen kapatın (yukarı kaydırarak kapatın).

​

6.ChatGPT uygulamasını tekrar açın ve giriş yapmayı deneyin.

​Hesap sayısı sınırın altına düştüğünde giriş ekranı sorunsuz bir şekilde yüklenecek ve "Devam Et" butonu anında aktif hale gelecektir. Oturum açtıktan sonra kaldırdığınız Google hesaplarını dilerseniz cihazınıza tekrar ekleyebilirsiniz.

I heard many intresting things about reddit, since it is free i downloaded it. Reddit was really intresting, so i naturally got very excited about using it. I used it very little on day one,just replying to some random posts. On day two however, i created a new subreddit. I saw subreddits about mostly niche topics and i was bad at finding the communities i actually wanted, so i created one. That subreddit was not that great and no one joined. I followed tgrough on the creating a subreddit steps, i even created few posts. Later i commented on many posts from other communities. Later that day as i clicked onto my profile, it was showing page not found. Atfirst i thought it was bad internet. Wgen i was commenting, i suddenly got the message that i had reached the comment limit. I got a bit confused,then i saw my subreddit was banned and so were my posts. Only tgen i realised i had Been shadowbanned. When i went to reddit support,they just told me that they detected spam activity from my account. It made no sense to me since i did not use any bots or copy pasted anything. The next day i formed an appeal, i was really sad. I already had been banned on claude and twitter before. It was looking like reddit would join tge list. But suddenly the next day tge shadowban on my account was lifted. I finally felt a bit of justice. Yet, i still was annoyed at why my account was banned for spam despite me putting thought into what i wrote and not using bots.

This story happened some time ago. But i am only revealing it now because i think this subreddit is the correct place for it. I do not have any other subreddits in mind where i could release it. I found this subreddit somewhat recently. Anyways, thank you for reading this whole story which is real btw.

If this hypothical happened what would you do and why?

It could be something about work, technology, education, relationships, privacy, health, money, social media — anything.

I’m especially curious about things we barely question because we’ve grown up treating them as normal.

It might have been advice, reassurance, criticism, encouragement, or a simple observation someone did not realize you needed.

Who said it, and what did that sentence change for you?

What would make you return regularly?

Suggest question topics, recurring threads, discussion formats, challenges, community features, flairs, or anything else that could make r/AskUnlocked more interesting.

Honest criticism is welcome. Name one specific thing you would genuinely participate in.

Your rule must be clear enough to enforce.

Explain the problem it would solve, how it would work, and what unintended downside it might create.

Silly, low-stakes theories only.

Missing socks, printer ink, shopping carts, alarm clocks, supermarket layouts, autocorrect, or why your favorite snack always disappears.

No real-world accusations or dangerous misinformation.

Share practical or surprising advice about transportation, distances, tipping, taxes, regional differences, small talk, safety, opening hours, or everyday etiquette.

Mention which city, state, or region your advice applies to when relevant.

Sometimes loyalty is revealed through a dramatic sacrifice. More often, it is revealed by someone simply arriving when disappearing would have been easier.

What did they do, and why did it matter so much?

What made you dismiss the advice at first?

Was it pride, bad timing, the person delivering it, lack of experience, or the belief that your situation was different?

What eventually changed your mind?

Habits become easier to repeat when the same surroundings consistently trigger the same behavior.

Instead of relying only on motivation, make the desired action visible and convenient—and make the unwanted action slightly harder.

What habit changed after you changed your environment?

Research basis: Wood & Rünger (2016), “Psychology of Habit.”

Be specific and constructive.

It might involve public spaces, entertainment, technology, customer service, higher education, accessibility, national parks, cultural openness, or something less obvious.

Explain why it works without turning the thread into a country-versus-country fight.

Maybe you misunderstood a phrase, profession, rule, song, advertisement, family story, or how some ordinary part of the world worked.

What did you believe, and when did the truth finally arrive?

Not something that merely inspired you for one afternoon.

Name the resource, identify one specific lesson, and explain the behavior you changed because of it.

One strong recommendation is better than a list of twenty.

In a family, workplace, friendship group, or relationship, the person who appears most capable is often the person others forget to check on.

What do people assume, and what kind of support would actually help?

Name the skill, the simplest first step, and a realistic amount of time someone needs before seeing progress.

Keep suggestions safe, legal, and beginner-friendly.

Creating a little psychological distance can make it easier to see a problem without being overwhelmed by its emotional heat.

Try describing the situation as though it happened to someone you care about.

What advice do you give other people easily but struggle to give yourself?

Research basis: Kross and colleagues (2011), research on self-distancing.

Not every important memory announces itself while it is happening.

Maybe it was a quiet drive, an ordinary dinner, a walk home, a conversation, or an afternoon that only became meaningful later.

What made it stay?

This is not about the best restaurant. It is about the unexpectedly excellent item hiding inside an otherwise ordinary chain.

Name the restaurant, name the item, and defend it.

It could apply to a new job, relationship, move, project, purchase, promise, or responsibility.

Give us the question—and explain what hidden risk, motive, or trade-off it reveals.

Some sayings feel profound because they are repeated confidently, not because they survive close examination.

Name the belief, explain where it fails, and offer a more accurate alternative.

Challenge ideas, not people.
