If you know how AI chatbots work, you may be aware that the things we share with these chatbots aren’t private.

The Generative AI chatbots use the data that you input to improve and train their models. Hence, they know exactly what you do with these chatbots.

If you’re privacy conscious, you may want to ditch these chatbots due to this specific reason. To avoid you doing this, OpenAI recently introduced a new ChatGPT feature offering a more private AI chat experience.

Temporary Chat on ChatGPT – What it is?

Temporary Chat is basically an incognito mode of ChatGPT. With Temporary Chat, you can have a conversation with a blank slate. This means ChatGPT won’t be able to recall your past conversations or access memories.

The temporary chat feature on ChatGPT is available in both the desktop and app versions. When you chat in this mode, your conversation is not saved in the history.

Temporary Chats won’t appear in your ChatGPT history and won’t be used to improve the AI model. However, ChatGPT does claim that it can retain a copy of your temporary chats for up to 30 days for safety purposes.
