How to Use Temporary Chat Feature in ChatGPT

Use this interactive demo to learn how to chat privately in ChatGPT without saving history.

Quick summary

ChatGPT's Temporary Chat feature lets you have a private conversation that is never saved to your chat history and never used for model training. It gives users instant, no-trace access to AI responses without adjusting account-level privacy settings.


Steps

  1. Click the model name in the top left to open your chat settings and access privacy controls.
  2. Select "Temporary chat" from the menu to start an off-the-record session — nothing saved, nothing used for training.
  3. Type your question as you normally would; the chat works exactly the same, just privately.
  4. Your conversation stays between you and ChatGPT — no chat history, no traces left behind.

📌 Why this matters

ChatGPT's Temporary Chat feature addresses a growing need for on-demand AI privacy without requiring users to change permanent account settings. It ensures sensitive conversations are never stored in chat history and never used to train OpenAI's models, making it ideal for confidential work, personal queries, or any session where data retention is a concern. For individuals and teams evaluating AI tools, built-in privacy controls like Temporary Chat are a critical factor in determining whether a platform meets their security and compliance requirements.
