OpenAI is currently developing a Memory Feature for ChatGPT. This feature will allow ChatGPT to remember the details of your conversations, making future chats more helpful and efficient. You won’t have to repeat information, and your conversations will become more personalized.

In this guide, I will show you how to enable or disable the Memory Feature in ChatGPT. You’ll also learn about its benefits. This feature is available to both free and paid users of ChatGPT.

How Does ChatGPT’s Memory Feature Work?

When you chat with ChatGPT, you can ask it to remember specific details or let it pick up information on its own. The more you use ChatGPT, the better its memory becomes. You’ll start to see improvements over time. For instance:

• If you mention that you prefer meeting notes with headlines, bullets, and a summary of action items, ChatGPT will remember this and format future meeting recaps accordingly.
• If you mention that your child loves jellyfish, ChatGPT will remember this detail. So, when you ask for help in creating a birthday card, it might suggest a design featuring a jellyfish wearing a party hat.

How to Enable Memory Feature in ChatGPT

You can activate this feature at any time by following these steps:

• Open ChatGPT on your device and tap on your profile at the bottom left corner.
• Next, tap on Settings and navigate to the “personalization” section.
• Here, turn on the “Memory Feature” toggle.

If you want to disable the Memory Feature later, go to Settings > Personalization > Toggle off “Memory“.

Managing or Deleting the Memory Feature in ChatGPT

If you want ChatGPT to forget something, you can manage or delete specific memories or erase all memories. Here’s how:

• Open ChatGPT on your device.
• Tap on settings at the bottom right corner and go to the “personalization” section.
• On this page, tap on the “Manage” button at the bottom.

• Here, you’ll see a list of memories. To delete them, tap on the trash bin icon.
• If you want to delete all temporary memory at once, tap on “Clear ChatGPT’s Memory.”
• Finally, tap on “Delete” to confirm the deletion prompt.

Note: Once you delete ChatGPT’s memory, you cannot retrieve it.

Access ChatGPT Memory…

That’s it! Now you understand what the Memory Feature in ChatGPT is and how to use it to enhance your productivity. This feature is particularly useful when you’re training your GPT and planning to use it in the future. I find this feature very helpful in increasing my efficiency in a short time.
