ChatGPT memory setting may no longer show chat history control
ChatGPT used to separate memory use into two choices. One choice used only saved memory, and another used both saved memory and recent . The setting to turn off is no longer visible in this case.
The visible option is now “try improved memory.” Even when that option is turned off, ChatGPT still appears to use recent , which is not the desired behavior. The preferred setup is to use saved memory only and ignore recent chats.
Key points
- The control for turning off may be missing in ChatGPT settings.
- The older setup separated saved memory from recent use.
- Turning off “try improved memory” may not stop recent from being used.
- The desired behavior is saved memory only, without recent chats.
- People using ChatGPT across multiple should test how memory behaves.
