Hi friends, OpenAI has recently introduced new privacy features to give users more control over their personal information when using ChatGPT, the AI-powered chatbot. The latest updates include the ability to disable chat history, which was not previously available. This allows users to avoid the hassle of manually deleting chat logs. Additionally, ChatGPT now offers users the option to export their chat history directly from their computer, without having to rely on third-party extensions or screenshot software.
