New Delhi: Users who are using the free ChatGPT have found relief. OpenAI has some good news for users currently using the free version. Finally, OpenAI has announced that the ChatGPT memory boost features, previously available only to Pro users, are now also available to free users. Launched in April, the enhanced memory feature now enables ChatGPT to offer more personalized responses by remembering your preferences and interests.
This enables it to be even more useful across various tasks, such as writing, learning, seeking advice, and more. Taking to X, OpenAI says, We’re starting to roll out a lightweight version of memory improvements to Free users. In addition to existing saved memories, ChatGPT now references your recent conversations to provide more personalised responses.
For those granted access to the feature, OpenAI offers the option to turn it off if preferred. As Sam Altman explained in a post on X, you can, of course, opt out of this or forget about it altogether. You can also use temporary chat if you want to have a conversation that won’t use or affect your memory.
To turn off the feature, go to Settings > Personalisation > Memory. From there, you can switch memory off entirely, preventing ChatGPT from retaining any information from your future chats. You also have the option to tap Manage Memory to review what has been saved or to erase it. It is noteworthy that chat memory is not a new feature, but OpenAI has improved it for the better.
OpenAI also noted that it is actively monitoring for prompt injection attacks, where malicious actors attempt to manipulate Codex into performing unintended web actions to maintain the tool’s security and reliability.
