OpenAI is introducing a significant update to ChatGPT: a new memory feature designed to make conversations more personalized and efficient.
Now, ChatGPT can remember details from your previous interactions, allowing it to provide more contextually relevant responses across text, voice, and image generation.
This feature, found as “reference saved memories” in settings, eliminates the need to repeatedly provide information.
For ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers, this functionality is rolling out now, though users in the U.K., EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland will have to wait due to ongoing regulatory reviews.
Users concerned about privacy can easily manage or disable the memory feature through their settings, and utilize “Temporary Chats” for conversations that aren’t stored.
This update streamlines contextual recall, a step beyond the previous method where users had to explicitly prompt ChatGPT to remember specific details. Similar to Google’s Gemini, this memory feature aims to make interactions more seamless.
Memory will be enabled by default for users who previously enabled memory features. OpenAI is currently prioritizing the rollout to paid tiers, with no immediate plans for free user access.
