Problem Description

Title generation is a great feature but the recently added "Generate" button from the Chats History side bar is so destructive to Mobile User experience.

On iOS if you go back and forth between different chats, you end up accidentally activating this button. Now you can't select the chat anymore without having to regenerate the title, which is terrible. Especially on lower resource hardware, there's just no reason it should activate that easily.

Desired Solution you'd like

There should be a toggle to disable that feature per user at least.

The button is anyway just visible when renaming a chat isn't it?

It triggers falsely a lot when on the PWA view on iOS when switching conversations. You can replicate it easily.

The main issue honestly is due to the lack of “refresh page”. The PWA view often freezes during token stream and you have to close and reopen, or constantly switch conversations to see the rest of the response.
