  • OpenAI on Tuesday started rolling out the ability for ChatGPT users to disable their chat history.
  • When chat history is disabled, users' conversations with ChatGPT won't be used to train OpenAI's models.
  • Here's how to turn off your chat history on ChatGPT, step by step.
Once you access ChatGPT in your browser, find the three dots at the bottom left of your screen.

Keep in mind that even with Chat History & Training toggled off, ChatGPT will still keep new conversations for 30 days and review them if necessary "to monitor for abuse," before the chats are permanently deleted, according to OpenAI.
