How to keep ChatGPT from saving your chats

You will be able to stop ChatGPT from keeping a list of your old chats.

2 min read Always free

By default, ChatGPT saves your chats in a list. This is handy, but you may want more privacy.

You can turn off that saving. Then your chats are not kept in your list.

You do this in the settings. Look for a choice about chat history or saved chats.

You can turn it back on any time. The choice is always yours.

Try this
  1. Open ChatGPT and go to the settings.
  2. Look for the part about data or chat history.
  3. Turn off the saving of chat history.
  4. Now new chats will not be kept in your list.

With saving off, ChatGPT will not remember past chats. That means a clean slate each time.
