ChatGPT is about to gain the ability to answer WhatsApp messages.
ChatGPT, the popular chatbot that made a significant impact last year, has recently introduced a feature that allows users to save their conversations for later without the need for copying and pasting. This article will guide you through the steps to manage and rename saved conversations on both desktop and mobile devices.
**Accessing Saved Chats**
Your ChatGPT conversations are automatically saved and can be easily accessed. On the desktop version, they appear in the left sidebar, while on the mobile app, they are located in a chat history section. This allows you to scroll through and revisit past chats.
**Renaming Conversations**
After completing a chat, you have the option to rename it to something meaningful for easy reference later. To do this, simply click on the chat title or the conversation itself, and then edit the name directly. For example, renaming a conversation to “Adult Daughter Debbie Persona” or any other descriptive title helps with organization.
**Managing Chats (Delete/Archive)**
You can delete chats individually if they are no longer needed. On both desktop and mobile, deletion is usually done by selecting the chat and choosing a delete option. Some interfaces also allow bulk deletion through a multi-select mode, especially useful for clearing out clutter. Archiving might be supported in certain versions or apps to keep chats but remove them from the main view.
**Search Functionality**
After renaming, you can use the search function within the app to quickly retrieve specific chats by their new titles or keywords, saving time when you have many saved conversations.
**Privacy Settings**
If you want to keep a chat private and not saved in chat history, you can start a temporary chat mode. This is done by clicking on the “temporary” option (often found at the top right) which prevents the conversation from being saved. Additionally, you can control data sharing and model training participation in the settings under data controls to improve privacy.
**Temporary Chats and Backup**
It's important to note that ChatGPT does not automatically back up chats in a traditional sense. If you want to preserve or share an interesting conversation, you should copy and paste it into a note on your phone or computer.
**Table of Features**
Here's a summary table of the features and their availability on both desktop and mobile platforms:
| Feature | Desktop | Mobile App | |------------------------|--------------------------------|------------------------------| | View Saved Conversations | Left sidebar with chat list | Chat history section | | Rename Conversations | Click chat title → Edit name | Tap chat title → Edit name | | Delete Chats | Select chat → Delete | Long press/select → Delete | | Bulk Delete | Available via multi-select | Often available | | Search Chats | Search bar in sidebar | Search in chat list | | Temporary Chats | Top right corner toggle | Similar toggle option | | Privacy Controls | Profile → Settings → Data controls | Profile → Settings → Data controls |
Following these steps will help you maintain an organized, manageable collection of ChatGPT conversations on both desktop and mobile platforms. The new sidebar for saved conversations is available on both the desktop and mobile web app versions of ChatGPT, making it easier than ever to manage your chats.
