Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.6.15

Ollama Version (if applicable)

latest

Operating System

MacOS 15.5

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome / Brave

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

I should see my own chat history in the menu bar on the left

Actual Behavior

I'm refering to my post on reddit, since it happened again with me and a worker from out HR, which is a bit difficult.
I've noticed, and it seems other users in my workspace (and on reddit) have too, that sometimes I see a chat history that isn't mine displayed in the interface.
It happens intermittently, and appears to be tied to when another user is also actively using the instance. I'll be chatting with the bot, and then for a few minutes I'll see a different chat history appear - I can see the headline/summary generated for that other chat, but the actual chat content is blank/unclickable. When you go down the chat history bar on the left to the "last 7 days" section, there will be my own chats visible. Only the near history of the other person is visible (or maybe switched?).
I've then tested it across different devices and browsers and it’s visible on each device. Sometimes they are even still visible when logging out and back in. I do have ENABLE_ADMIN_CHAT_ACCESS=false set in my environment variables, so I definitely shouldn't be able to see other users' chats.

Steps to Reproduce

Switching windows to OWUI
Looking into the chat history
Figuring out, that those chat headlines are not mine

Logs & Screenshots

I have no logs or screenshots for this issue, since it wouldn't help at all, because me and the other person would be the only people knowing that these chats don't belong to me/them

We cannot reproduce this issue, a screencording and a detailed step by step guide on how you set up your env here would be helpful here.
