- 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.
Once you access ChatGPT in your browser, find the three dots at the bottom left of your screen.

To disable your chat history and opt out of having your conversations help train OpenAI's models, toggle this off.

Afterward, you should see a message on the left sidebar saying your chat history is off. Your search bar will also turn black. Clicking "Enable chat history" will allow ChatGPT to save your conversations again and use them for training purposes.

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.
