• See visual search results like images, charts, and map cards in real time

• Refer back to earlier messages without interrupting the conversation

• Type back when you can’t talk and still get a Voice response

• Share photos to discuss them out loud

Parental Controls

We’re rolling out parental controls globally in ChatGPT to help families guide how ChatGPT works in their homes. Available starting on the web today, mobile soon.

To set up parental controls, a parent or guardian sends an invite to their teen to connect accounts. After the teen accepts, the parent can manage the teen’s settings from their own account. Teens can also invite a parent to connect.

Once a teen is connected to a parent’s account, they automatically receive additional content protections, such as reduced graphic content and viral challenges. Parents will have the option to turn this setting off if they choose, but teen users cannot make changes.

Parents don’t have access to their teen’s conversations, except in rare cases where our system and trained reviewers detect possible signs of serious safety risk, parents may be notified — but only with the information needed to support their teen’s safety. Parents can choose if they’d like to be contacted by email, SMS, push notification, or all three.

Parents can adjust certain features, set time limits, and add safeguards that work for their family including:

• Set quiet hours, or specific times when ChatGPT can’t be used.

• Turn off voice mode, to remove the option to use voice mode in ChatGPT.

• Turn off memory, so ChatGPT won’t save and use memories when responding.

• Remove image generation, so ChatGPT won’t have the ability to create or edit images.

• Opt out of model training, so their teen’s conversations won’t be used to improve models powering ChatGPT and Sora.

Introducing Instant Checkout and the Agentic Commerce Protocol

We’re introducing Instant Checkout in ChatGPT and the Agentic Commerce Protocol that powers it, built with Stripe.

ChatGPT can help you find anything on the web and now with Instant Checkout, you can seamlessly buy directly from the merchant, right in chat. Starting today, U.S. ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Free users can buy directly from U.S. Etsy sellers through ChatGPT, with over 1 million Shopify merchants, like Glossier, SKIMS, Spanx and Vuori, coming soon.

Instant Checkout

Instant Checkout makes it easy to go from chat to checkout in just a few taps.

• Ask ChatGPT a shopping question and it finds organic, unsponsored product results from across the web.

• Choose an item and ChatGPT shows where to buy, ranking merchants by factors like inventory, price, quality, primary seller status, and Instant Checkout availability.

• If Instant Checkout is offered, tap Buy, confirm shipping and payment details, and pay in one tap with your card on file or other express pay options.

• If Instant Checkout isn’t available, ChatGPT provides a direct link so you can purchase from the merchant’s site.

You’re in control at all times and give explicit confirmation to purchase. Payment goes directly from you to the merchant, not through OpenAI. Learn more about Instant Checkout.

Agentic Commerce Protocol

The Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) gives merchants and developers a way to build agentic commerce experiences that work with their current systems and connect them with 700M+ weekly active users on ChatGPT.

If you’re a merchant and want to add Instant Checkout in ChatGPT, apply on our merchant page. We’ll be accepting and onboarding merchants on a rolling basis.

Developers can start exploring the Agentic Commerce Protocol documentation and example implementations on GitHub.

September 25, 2025

Introducing ChatGPT Pulse for Pro users

We’re launching an early preview of ChatGPT pulse for Pro users on iOS and Android. This is a new experience where ChatGPT can now proactively deliver personalized, focused updates for you once a day. These updates are based on asynchronous research ChatGPT can do on your behalf overnight, synthesizing information from your memory, chat history, and direct feedback to learn what’s most relevant to you.

Updates are delivered once a day as visual summaries you can scan at a glance or dive deeper into. Each topic opens into more detail where you can ask follow-up questions. You can shape what shows up in pulse with a quick thumbs up or down, or by using curate to tell ChatGPT what you’d like to see.

If you ask for something new in the evening, we aim to include it the next morning, though exact timing may vary. Pulse refreshes daily, and you can save any item into a chat to keep it.

As a preview, pulse has some limitations. It aims to show you what’s most relevant and useful but you may still see suggestions that miss the mark. For example, you may get tips for a project you already completed. You can guide what shows up by telling ChatGPT directly. It remembers your feedback for next time and improves as it learns from real use.

It requires saved memory and chat history to be turned on, and you can switch pulse off anytime in settings. See ChatGPT Pulse.

September 22, 2025

Voice Updates

We’re improving the quality and latency of responses of the version of Advanced Voice powered by GPT-4o mini.

September 17, 2025

Toggle thinking time in the message composer

What’s new

We’re giving Plus, Business, and Pro users more control over how long GPT-5 thinks before responding. You can now choose the level of reasoning time, so you can decide whether you want a quicker answer or more in-depth reasoning for your task.

How it works

When you select GPT-5 with Thinking in ChatGPT, you’ll see a new thinking time toggle in the message composer.

• Standard (new default, balancing speed and intelligence) and Extended (the previous default for Plus) are available to all Plus, Business users

• Pro users get two additional options: Light (snappiest) and Heavy (deeper reasoning).

• All queries default to Standard unless you choose to change it. Once you choose a different thinking time, your preference is saved and used for future queries until you switch again.

Why we’re making this change

We’ve heard from some of you that GPT-5 Thinking’s answers can take longer than you’d like. Now you can decide what you need in the moment:

• Light / Standard → quicker answers that still apply reasoning, balancing speed and intelligence.

• Extended / Heavy → more time for deeper, more comprehensive responses when the stakes are higher or the question is more difficult.

What’s next

The thinking-time toggle is live today on chatgpt.com. Settings you choose on the web won’t yet sync to mobile, but we’ll bring this control to our iOS and Android apps in the coming weeks.

September 16, 2025

Improvements to search in ChatGPT

We’ve made further improvements to search in ChatGPT, making results more accurate, reliable, and useful.

• Factuality: Fewer hallucinations, improving answer quality.

• Shopping: Search is better at detecting shopping intent, showing products when you want them and keeping results focused when you don’t.

• Formatting: Answers are better formatted for quick understanding without losing detail or quality.

September 15, 2025

Personalization settings are now in Settings

Personalization no longer opens in a separate modal. You can manage personalization, choose a ChatGPT personality, add custom instructions, and update Memory directly in Settings → Personalization.

Updates to Codex (Plus/Pro) - Introducing GPT-5-Codex

We’re adding GPT-5-codex, a GPT-5 variant optimized for agentic coding in Codex. It’s available everywhere you use Codex: default for cloud tasks and code review, and selectable for local workflows via the Codex CLI and IDE extension. Use GPT-5-codex for coding-focused work in Codex, or Codex-like environments; use GPT-5 for general, non-coding tasks. Please review the announcement blog for more information.

Note: GPT-5-Codex is not currently supported in ChatGPT or the API.

To learn more about Codex, visit the developers site as well as our general help article: Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan.

September 9, 2025

ChatGPT Voice Update

Last month we announced that everyone now has access to Advanced Voice Mode, with usage expanded from minutes per day to hours for Free users, and near-unlimited use for Plus.

We also shared that Standard Voice Mode would be retired following a 30-day sunset period. We’ve heard feedback that Standard Voice is special to some folks, and we want to make sure the transition feels right. To that end, we’re keeping Standard Voice available while we address some feedback from its users about Advanced Voice.

Stay tuned—more improvements to Voice are coming soon.

September 4, 2025

Branch conversations on web

You can now branch conversations in ChatGPT, making it easier to explore different directions without losing your original thread. Hover over a message, click More actions (⋯), and select Branch in new chat to start a separate conversation from that point.

August 27, 2025

Updates to Codex (Plus/Pro)

Starting today, Codex works with you everywhere you build—in your terminal or IDE, on the web, in GitHub, and even from the ChatGPT iOS app. Your ChatGPT account connects it all, so you can work seamlessly between your local environment and Codex’s cloud without losing state.

We’re excited to introduce the latest Codex updates:

• IDE Extension: The new extension brings codex into VS Code, Cursor, and other VS Code forks, so that you can seamlessly preview local changes and edit code

• Sign in with ChatGPT: Available in both the IDE and CLI, eliminating API key setup and providing access directly through your existing ChatGPT plan

• Seamless Local ↔ Cloud Handoff: Developers can pair with Codex locally and then delegate tasks to the cloud to execute asynchronously without losing state

• Upgraded Codex CLI: Refreshed UI, new commands, and bug fixes

• Code reviews in GitHub: Set up Codex to automatically review new PRs in a repo, or mention @codex in PRs to get reviews and suggested fixes

Additionally, all product information and updates for Codex moving forward will be announced on our new site: developers.openai.com/codex.

We invite you to explore the site for more details on these new features, as well as guides on how to get started.

To learn more about Codex, visit the new developers site as well as our general help article: Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan.

August 22, 2025

Project-only memory

An improvement to projects is now available. When creating a project, users have the option to enable project-only memory.

With project-only memory enabled, ChatGPT can use other conversations in that project for additional context, and won’t use your saved memories from outside the project to shape responses. Additionally, it won’t carry anything from the project into future chats outside of the project.

This creates a focused, self-contained space, which is useful for long-running or sensitive work where you want ChatGPT to stay anchored to that project’s tone, context, and history.

Note:

• Personal Memory must be enabled to utilize this feature.

  • Settings -> Personalization -> Memory

• This feature will initially only be available on the ChatGPT website and Windows app. Support for mobile (iOS and Android) and macOS app will follow in the coming weeks.

Learn more about memory in projects.

August 18, 2025

• More messages, larger file uploads, and expanded image generation

• Access to advanced data analysis

• Longer memory for more personalized responses

Available on web, mobile (iOS & Android), and desktop (macOS & Windows).

ChatGPT Go is geo-restricted to India at launch, and is able to be subscribed to by credit card or UPI.

Learn more about ChatGPT Go.

August 15, 2025

GPT-5 Updates

We’re making GPT-5’s default personality warmer and more familiar. This is in response to user feedback that the initial version of GPT-5 came across as too reserved and professional. The differences in personality should feel subtle but create a noticeably more approachable ChatGPT experience.

Warmth here means small acknowledgements that make interactions feel more personable — for example, “Good question,” “Great start,” or briefly recognizing the user’s circumstances when relevant. This is different from sycophancy, which we define as excessive flattery that can feel insincere. You can find more about our learnings on reducing sycophancy here.

This update does not show an increase in sycophancy compared to the previous personality of GPT-5, measured by the same internal evals we ran and detailed in our system card. Teaching models to be warm without being sycophantic is an ongoing research challenge, and we will continue iterating to get this right. More updates are coming soon.

August 13, 2025

Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts Connectors in ChatGPT (Plus)

Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts Connectors in ChatGPT are now available to Plus users globally. Access will be granted to users throughout today.

Learn more about connectors.

August 12, 2025

GPT-5 Updates

You can now choose between “Auto”, “Fast”, and “Thinking” for GPT-5. Most users will want Auto, but the additional control will be useful for some people.

ChatGPT Plus users now have 3,000 messages/week with GPT-5 Thinking, and then extra capacity on GPT-5 Thinking mini after that limit. The context limit for GPT-5 Thinking is 196k tokens. We may have to update rate limits over time depending on usage.

4o is back in the model picker for all paid users by default. Paid users also now have a “Show additional models” toggle in ChatGPT web settings which will add models like o3, o4-mini, 4.1, and GPT-5 Thinking mini. 4.5 is only available to Pro users due to GPUs.

Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts Connectors in ChatGPT (Pro)

Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts are now available to connect and use in chat. Once you enable them, ChatGPT will automatically reference them when relevant, making it faster and easier to bring information from these tools into your conversations without having to manually select them each time.

This capability is part of GPT-5 and will begin rolling out to Pro users globally this week, followed by Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu plans in the coming weeks. To enable, visit Settings → Connectors→ Connect on the application.

If you already have Gmail or Google Calendar enabled for deep research, you can now also use them in chat. To use them in deep research, you will still need to enable each connector separately and select it every time you start a new deep research request.

Learn more about connectors.

August 11, 2025

Additional connectors for Plus and Pro

Now connect even more tools in ChatGPT for useful, relevant responses in chat.

The following connectors are now available to search by chat in addition to deep research.

• Plus: Box, Canva, Dropbox, HubSpot, Notion, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams

• Pro: Microsoft Teams and Github

Rollout begins today, and all eligible accounts will have access in the coming days.

To enable, visit Settings → Connectors→ Connect on the application. Note that connectors are still in beta and defaulted off for Enterprise & Edu plans. Admins can enable them for their workspace in Settings.

Note: Connectors for Plus/Pro plans are not available in EEA, Switzerland, and the UK.

GPT-5 in ChatGPT is our next flagship model and the new default for all logged-in users. It simplifies ChatGPT to a single auto-switching system that brings together the best of our previous models into a smart, fast model.

GPT-5 is available to all ChatGPT Tiers. Users on Paid tiers - Plus, Pro, and Team - have access to the model picker, which enables you to manually select GPT-5 or GPT-5 Thinking. Pro and Team tier users have access to GPT-5 Thinking Pro, which takes a bit longer to think but delivers the accuracy you need for complex tasks.

Learn more about GPT-5 in ChatGPT.

Personalities

You can now choose from four distinct personalities or use the Default personality in your Customize ChatGPT settings. Default is the standard ChatGPT style: clear, neutral, and adaptable. The other personalities each have their own style and tone, described below.

Cynic – Sarcastic and dry, delivers blunt help with wit. Often teases, but provides direct, practical answers when it matters.

Robot – Precise, efficient, and emotionless, delivering direct answers without extra words.

Listener – Warm and laid-back, reflecting your thoughts back with calm clarity and light wit.

Nerd – Playful and curious, explaining concepts clearly while celebrating knowledge and discovery.

Please note that these personalities will not apply to Voice mode.

Accent Colors

To simplify the experience, Standard Voice Mode will be retired in 30 days, unifying all users onto our latest voice experience.

For paid users, Voice now adapts to your instructions, adjusting its speaking style (length, speed, tone, and more) to fit the moment.

July 29, 2025

Study Mode

Study mode is currently available to users in Free, Plus, Pro, and Teams plans globally and will expand to Edu plans in the coming weeks. Study mode works with any model available in ChatGPT on iOS, Android, web, and desktop.

Study mode is a new learning experience in ChatGPT designed to help you build a deeper understanding of any topic. When you turn it on, ChatGPT will ask interactive questions to understand your goals and skill level, then work with you to reach the answer together.

With Study mode enabled, ChatGPT can:

• Guide understanding with Socratic-style questions.

• Break concepts into easy to follow sections starting simple and adding complexity as you progress.

• Personalize responses based on your past chats if memory is on, using examples and tips tailored to you.

• Check your understanding with open-ended prompts and feedback.

• Work with your materials by referencing images or PDFs you upload.

You can enable study mode at any time by selecting Tools in the prompt window and choosing Study and learn from the drop‑down menu or go to chatgpt.com/studymode.

Study mode is powered by custom system instructions and can have some inconsistent behavior and mistakes across conversations. We plan on training this behavior directly into our main models once we’ve learned what works best through iteration and user feedback.

Improvements to the ChatGPT search response quality

We’ve upgraded ChatGPT search for all users to provide even more comprehensive, up-to-date responses. In testing, we found users preferred these search improvements over our previous search experience.

Improved quality

• Smarter responses that are more intelligent, are better at understanding what you’re asking, and provide more comprehensive answers.

• Handles longer conversational contexts, allowing better intelligence in longer conversations.

Improved search capability and instruction following

• More robust ability to follow instructions, especially in longer conversations, significantly reducing repetitive responses.

• Capability to run multiple searches automatically for complex or difficult questions.

• Search the web using an image you’ve uploaded.

Known limitations

• Users may notice longer responses with this new search experience.

• In some cases, a “chain of thought” reasoning will show up unexpectedly for simple queries. A fix for this is rolling out to users shortly.

• ChatGPT may still make occasional mistakes - please double check responses.

June 12, 2025

Expanded Model Support for Custom GPTs

Creators can now choose from the full set of ChatGPT models (GPT-4o, o3, o4-mini and more) when building Custom GPTs—making it easier to fine-tune performance for different tasks, industries, and workflows. Creators can also set a recommended model to guide users.

June 10, 2025

Today, we're launching OpenAI o3-pro—available now for Pro users in ChatGPT and in our API.

Like o1-pro, o3-pro is a version of our most intelligent model, o3, designed to think longer and provide the most reliable responses. Since the launch of o1-pro, users have favored this model for domains such as math, science, and coding—areas where o3-pro continues to excel, as shown in academic evaluations. Like o3, o3-pro has access to tools that make ChatGPT useful—it can search the web, analyze files, reason about visual inputs, use Python, personalize responses using memory, and more. Because o3-pro has access to tools, responses typically take longer than o1-pro to complete. We recommend using it for challenging questions where reliability matters more than speed, and waiting a few minutes is worth the tradeoff.

In expert evaluations, reviewers consistently prefer o3-pro over o3 in every tested category and especially in key domains like science, education, programming, business, and writing help. Reviewers also rated o3-pro consistently higher for clarity, comprehensiveness, instruction-following, and accuracy.

Academic evaluations show that o3-pro consistently outperforms both o1-pro and o3.

To assess the key strength of o3-pro, we once again use our rigorous "4/4 reliability" evaluation, where a model is considered successful only if it correctly answers a question in all four attempts, not just one:

o3-pro is available in the model picker for Pro and Team users starting today, replacing o1-pro. Enterprise and Edu users will get access the week after.

As o3-pro uses the same underlying model as o3, full safety details can be found in the o3 system card.

Limitations

At the moment, temporary chats are disabled for o3-pro as we resolve a technical issue.

Image generation is not supported within o3-pro—please use GPT-4o, OpenAI o3, or OpenAI o4-mini to generate images.

Canvas is also currently not supported within o3-pro.

Updates to Advanced Voice Mode for paid users

We're upgrading Advanced Voice in ChatGPT for paid users with significant enhancements in intonation and naturalness, making interactions feel more fluid and human-like. When we first launched Advanced Voice, it represented a leap forward in AI speech—now, it speaks even more naturally, with subtler intonation, realistic cadence (including pauses and emphases), and more on-point expressiveness for certain emotions including empathy, sarcasm, and more.

Voice also now offers intuitive and effective language translation. Just ask Voice to translate between languages, and it will continue translating throughout your conversation until you tell it to stop or switch. It’s ready to translate whenever you need it—whether you're asking for directions in Italy or chatting with a colleague from the Tokyo office. For example, at a restaurant in Brazil, Voice can translate your English sentences into Portuguese, and the waiter’s Portuguese responses back into English—making conversations effortless, no matter where you are or who you're speaking with.

This upgrade to Advanced Voice is available for all paid users across markets and platforms—just tap the Voice icon in the message composer to get started.

This update is in addition to improvements we made earlier this year to ensure fewer interruptions and improved accents.

Known Limitations

In testing, we've observed that this update may occasionally cause minor decreases in audio quality, including unexpected variations in tone and pitch. These issues are more noticeable with certain voice options. We expect to improve audio consistency over time.

Additionally, rare hallucinations in Voice Mode persist with this update, resulting in unintended sounds resembling ads, gibberish, or background music. We are actively investigating these issues and working toward a solution.

Sunsetting Monday GPT

Launched on April 1 as a one-month surprise, our “Monday” personality (available in both voice and text) has now been sunset. We hope you enjoyed Monday's irreverent style, and we’re already working on new personalities for future use. Please stay tuned for what’s next!

April 29, 2025

Updates to GPT-4o

We've reverted the most recent update to GPT-4o due to issues with overly agreeable responses (sycophancy).

We’re actively working on further improvements. For more details, check out our blog post explaining what happened and our initial findings, and this blog post where we expand on what we missed with sycophancy and the changes we're going to make going forward.

April 25, 2025

Improvements to GPT-4o

We’re making additional improvements to GPT-4o, optimizing when it saves memories and enhancing problem-solving capabilities for STEM. We’ve also made subtle changes to the way it responds, making it more proactive and better at guiding conversations toward productive outcomes. We think these updates help GPT-4o feel more intuitive and effective across a variety of tasks–we hope you agree!

April 16, 2025

o3 and o4-mini in ChatGPT

Today, we’re releasing OpenAI o3 and o4-mini, the latest in our o-series of models trained to think for longer before responding. These are the smartest models we’ve released to date, representing a step change in ChatGPT's capabilities for everyone from curious users to advanced researchers. For the first time, our reasoning models can agentically use and combine every tool within ChatGPT—this includes searching the web, analyzing uploaded files and other data with Python, reasoning deeply about visual inputs, and even generating images. Critically, these models are trained to reason about when and how to use tools to produce detailed and thoughtful answers in the right output formats, typically in under a minute, to solve more complex problems. This allows them to tackle multi-faceted questions more effectively, a step toward a more agentic ChatGPT that can independently execute tasks on your behalf. The combined power of state-of-the-art reasoning with full tool access translates into significantly stronger performance across academic benchmarks and real-world tasks, setting a new standard in both intelligence and usefulness.

Memory with Search

ChatGPT can also use memories to inform search queries when ChatGPT searches the web using third-party search providers. Learn more about search.

April 15, 2025

ChatGPT Image Library

All images you create with ChatGPT are now automatically saved to a new Library in the sidebar, giving you one place to browse, revisit, and reuse your work without digging through past conversations. The Library is rolling out today on Web, iOS, and Android for Free, Plus, and Pro users (Enterprise / Edu support coming soon). For now, it displays images generated with 4o Image Generation while we backfill older creations, and you can remove an image by deleting the conversation where it was made.

April 10, 2025

Sunsetting GPT‑4 in ChatGPT

Effective  April  30,  2025, GPT‑4 will be retired from ChatGPT and fully replaced by GPT‑4o.

GPT‑4o is our newer, natively multimodal model. In head‑to‑head evaluations it consistently surpasses GPT‑4 in writing, coding, STEM, and more.

Recent upgrades have further improved GPT‑4o’s instruction following, problem solving, and conversational flow, making it a natural successor to GPT‑4.

GPT-4 will still be available in the API.

GPT‑4 marked a pivotal moment in ChatGPT’s evolution. We’re grateful for the breakthroughs it enabled and for the feedback that helped shape its successor. GPT‑4o builds on that foundation to deliver even greater capability, consistency, and creativity.

March 27, 2025

Improvements to GPT-4o

We’ve made improvements to GPT-4o—it now feels more intuitive, creative, and collaborative, with enhanced instruction-following, smarter coding capabilities, and a clearer communication style.

Smarter problem-solving in STEM and coding:

GPT-4o has further improved its capability to tackle complex technical and coding problems. It now generates cleaner, simpler frontend code, more accurately thinks through existing code to identify necessary changes, and consistently produces coding outputs that successfully compile and run, streamlining your coding workflows.

Enhanced instruction-following and formatting accuracy:

GPT-4o is now more adept at following detailed instructions, especially for prompts containing multiple or complex requests. It improves on generating outputs according to the format requested and achieves higher accuracy in classification tasks.

“Fuzzy” improvements:

Early testers say that the model seems to better understand the implied intent behind their prompts, especially when it comes to creative and collaborative tasks. It’s also slightly more concise and clear, using fewer markdown hierarchies and emojis for responses that are easier to read, less cluttered, and more focused. We're curious to see if our users also find this to be the case.

This model is now available in ChatGPT and in the API as the newest snapshot of chatgpt-4o-latest. We plan to bring these improvements to a dated model in the API in the coming weeks.

March 18, 2025

We’re rolling out a bunch of small updates to improve the ChatGPT experience. Shipping over the next week:

1. Prompt examples: A blank page can be intimidating. At the beginning of a new chat, you’ll now see examples to help you get started.

2. Suggested replies: Go deeper with a click. ChatGPT now suggests relevant ways to continue your conversation.

3. GPT-4 by default, finally: When starting a new chat as a Plus user, ChatGPT will remember your previously selected model — no more defaulting back to GPT-3.5.

4. Upload multiple files: You can now ask ChatGPT to analyze data and generate insights across multiple files. This is available with the Code Interpreter beta for all Plus users.

5. Stay logged in: You’ll no longer be logged out every 2 weeks! When you do need to log in, you’ll be greeted with a much more welcoming page.

6. Keyboard shortcuts: Work faster with shortcuts, like ⌘ (Ctrl) + Shift + ; to copy last code block. Try ⌘ (Ctrl) + / to see the complete list.

Browsing is temporarily disabled

We've learned that the browsing beta can occasionally display content in ways we don't want, e.g. if a user specifically asks for a URL's full text, it may inadvertently fulfill this request. We are temporarily disabling Browse while we fix this.

Browsing and search on mobile

We’ve made two updates to the mobile ChatGPT app:

• Browsing: Plus users can now use Browsing to get comprehensive answers and current insights on events and information that extend beyond the model's original training data. To try it out, enable Browsing in the “new features” section of your app settings. Then select GPT-4 in the model switcher and choose “Browse with Bing” in the drop-down.

• Search History Improvements: Tapping on a search result takes you directly to the respective point in the conversation.

Good news! We’re expanding availability of the ChatGPT app for iOS to more countries and regions. Users in 11 countries can now download the ChatGPT app in the Apple App Store including the United States: Albania, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Jamaica, Korea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, and the United Kingdom.

We will continue to roll out to more countries and regions in the coming weeks. You can track the iOS app rollout here.

Shared Links

We're excited to introduce a new feature: shared links. This feature allows you to create and share your ChatGPT conversations with others. Recipients of your shared link can either view the conversation or copy it to their own chats to continue the thread. This feature is currently rolling out to a small set of testers in alpha, with plans to expand to all users (including free) in the upcoming weeks.

To share your conversations:

1. Click on the thread you’d like to share

2. Select the “Share” button

3. Click on “Copy Link”

Learn more.

Bing Plugin

Browse with Bing. We’ve integrated the browsing feature - currently in beta for paid users - more deeply with Bing. You can now click into queries that the model is performing. We look forward to expanding the integration soon.

Disable chat history on iOS

You can now disable your chat history on iOS. Conversations started on your device when chat history is disabled won’t be used to improve our models, won’t appear in your history on your other devices, and will only be stored for 30 days. Similar to the functionality on the web, this setting does not sync across browsers or devices. Learn more.
