What is a New Chat?

When you see “Chat history is too long”, creating a new chat resets your conversation history while preserving your entire app. Your files, builds, and project settings remain unchanged.

Why Do I Need a New Chat?

Chat histories can become very long over time. When they get too large, they can cause performance issues. Starting a new chat:
  • Fixes: Chat loading and sending issues
  • Improves: Response speed and reliability
  • Maintains: Full access to your app and project

What You Keep with a New Chat

When you create a new chat for an existing project, you keep everything important:
  • All your app files (code, images, configuration)
  • Your app builds and deployment history
  • Project settings and integrations
  • App Store Connect configurations
  • Supabase database connections
  • All your published versions

Key Difference

New Chat

Resets: Only your conversation history with the AI

New App

Resets: Everything. You start with a blank slate
