If you have ever felt a jolt of anxiety when handing your phone to a friend or sharing your laptop screen during a meeting, OpenAI has introduced a welcome solution. A new privacy feature called Locked Chats is rolling out for ChatGPT, allowing you to conceal sensitive discussions behind biometrics or a PIN.
The update tackles an everyday dilemma for regular users like you. Whether you are drafting a resignation letter, researching personal health questions or planning a surprise gift on a shared family tablet, our chatbot histories often hold details we would rather not display to casual onlookers.
Locked Chats lets you tuck individual conversations away from your main sidebar history and in-app search results. Instead of staying visible on your home screen, selected discussions are moved into a protected folder where conversation titles remain completely obscured until you authenticate yourself.
