ChatGPT Now Hides Your Secret Chats Behind a PIN
Ever shared your screen at work with your ChatGPT history in full view? You can now lock your chats behind a 4-digit PIN, or Face ID on your phone.
Locked chats disappear from your history and search into a folder that needs your PIN. Anything new you tell ChatGPT in there stays out of its memory in your regular chats.
- It’s rolling out to free and paid plans.
- OpenAI keeps them for as long as it did before, and it says this isn’t encryption.
- If you forget your PIN, resetting it deletes every locked chat for good.
- Ads can still show up inside them.
People online asked what’s so sensitive, since ChatGPT already refuses anything spicy.
