OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind the ChatGPT chatbot, has introduced a new privacy feature. It lets users hide their conversation history from other people, which matters for anyone who discusses personal or sensitive topics with the chatbot.
Private and sensitive chats can now be locked with a four-digit PIN. On devices that support it, access can also be confirmed with Face ID, a facial recognition system, or Touch ID, a fingerprint sensor.
According to the source, the feature will be especially useful when a phone or computer is briefly handed to someone else and the user does not want that person to see their conversations. Other details, such as the rollout schedule and availability in different regions, are not given in the available excerpt.
