You can now delete
In a blog post, OpenAI revealed that users now have the option to turn off chat history in ChatGPT. “Conversations that are started when chat history is disabled won’t be used to train and improve our models, and won’t appear in the history sidebar,” said OpenAI in the blog post.
Users will see the feature soon as it has been rolled out to everyone starting today. The feature can be found in ChatGPT’s settings and can be changed at any time. We did check if the feature has been rolled out and can confirm that it is now available in ChatGPT.
One of the reason why OpenAI kept ChatGPT history is to continuously train the model. There may have been occasions when users have queries that they wouldn’t want anyone to see. Prior to the option of deleting history, all the queries were visible in the left sidebar option. One might have asked ChatGPT to do some work-related assignment, which they wanted to have kept secret but had no option. “We hope this provides an easier way to manage your data than our existing opt-out process,” said OpenAI in the blog.
Do keep in mind that when chat history is disabled, OpenAI will retain new conversations for 30 days and review them only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting.
There’s also a new Export option in settings, which makes it “much easier to export your ChatGPT data and understand what information ChatGPT stores.” If users do decide to export their ChatGPT data, they will receive a file with their conversations and all other relevant data in email.
