What are Temporary Chats?
ChatGPT currently offers Temporary Chats, which don't save to your history and aren't used to improve the AI model. However, they still appear in your chat list and can be found through search. The new 'Locked Chats' feature goes a step further by completely hiding conversations, offering a higher level of privacy for sensitive discussions.
