Are you missing the option to switch between ChatGPT models like GPT-5, GPT-4, and GPT-3.5?
Many users have recently reported that their model switcher has disappeared from ChatGPT’s interface. This means they can’t change from ChatGPT 5 to GPT-4, GPT-3.5, or any other model — making the experience frustrating, especially if you rely on different models for speed, cost, or creativity.
In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to re-enable model switching in ChatGPT using the Show legacy models setting.
This fix works for Pro users who want to restore the full model list and regain access to GPT-5, GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and any other available models.
💡 What you’ll learn in this video:
Why the ChatGPT model switcher sometimes disappears
How to find the “Show legacy models” setting in ChatGPT
The exact steps to turn it ON and restore model switching
How to instantly start using GPT-5, GPT-4, and GPT-3.5 again
Extra tip: How to combine this with your workflow for better results
Many people think ChatGPT removed GPT-5 or GPT-4, but in reality, the feature is simply hidden behind a setting. By enabling Show legacy models, you bring back the drop-down selector so you can choose between multiple models anytime you start a new chat.

0:48 – Enable "Show Additional Models" to Access GPT-4, GPT-4.1, GPT-3.5
1:55 – ChatGPT Free Plan Model Limitations & API Access Workaround
📌 Steps covered in this video:
Open ChatGPT in your browser and log in.
Click on your profile picture or name at the bottom-left corner.
Go to Settings.
Under General, find the option Show legacy models.
Turn this ON.
Close settings and start a new conversation — you should now see GPT-5, GPT-4, and GPT-3.5 in the model selection menu again.
🎯 Why you might want to switch models in ChatGPT:
GPT-5 for advanced reasoning and longer context
GPT-4 for balanced accuracy and creativity
GPT-3.5 for faster responses at lower cost (or free tier users)
Even if you prefer GPT-5 for most tasks, having access to other models lets you optimize speed, cost, and performance depending on your needs.
⚠️ Note: Free-tier users may not see GPT-5 or GPT-4, and the Show legacy models option may not be available. This tutorial is mainly for Pro users who have model switching enabled in their subscription.
