OpenAI has introduced a recent update that focuses on giving users more control over their ChatGPT experience, particularly in terms of data management. Previously, there were concerns raised by users regarding the lack of a mode ensuring private or non-existent conversation history. However, this latest update brings forth significant enhancements in two key areas:
Enhanced Data Control and Privacy Features
Full Chat History Access:
In the past, users who chose not to share their conversation data for ChatGPT training were unable to access their chat history. This update removes this limitation, allowing all users to revisit their past interactions irrespective of their data sharing preferences. OpenAI emphasizes that users' previous data sharing choices continue to be respected.
Temporary Chats:
A novel feature introduced in this update is the "temporary chat" option. This feature is ideal for discussions on sensitive subjects or instances where users prefer their conversations not to be recorded. Conversations conducted in this mode are not stored in the chat history, ensuring a confidential and transient interaction with ChatGPT.
OpenAI's latest update is currently active on the ChatGPT web version, with plans for a mobile app rollout in the near future. This update underscores OpenAI's dedication to a user-centric approach, providing users with increased authority over their chat history, honoring data sharing preferences, and introducing innovative features like temporary chats to bolster privacy and control.
