OpenAI is giving users more power over their ChatGPT experience with a recent update focused on data control. Previously, users used to complain about the absence of a mode where their conversation history is private, or non-existent at all. This update, however, addresses not one, but two key features:

This update is centred around privacy and data control for the users

  • Full Chat History Access: Previously, users who opted out of contributing conversation data to train ChatGPT couldn’t access their chat history. This update lifts that restriction, allowing everyone to review past interactions regardless of their data contribution preference. OpenAI also assures users that their previous data contribution choices remain respected.
  • Temporary Chats: For conversations on sensitive topics or where you simply don’t want a record, a new “temporary chat” feature is available. Conversations in this mode are not saved in the chat history, providing a private and ephemeral way to interact with ChatGPT.

Currently, the update is live on the ChatGPT web version, with the mobile app rollout coming soon. This update is a reminder of OpenAI’s commitment to a user-centric approach, offering greater control over chat history, respecting data contribution choices, and introducing features like temporary chats for enhanced privacy.
