OpenAI just supercharged ChatGPT’s memory. The AI can now remember past chats—just like Google’s Gemini. For Plus and Pro users, this means more personal, context-aware replies without repeating yourself. Here’s how it works, and how to stay in control.

OpenAI is finally bringing one of the most-requested features to ChatGPT — the ability to remember your past conversations, even if you didn’t explicitly ask it to.

Until now, ChatGPT’s memory feature only worked if you manually told it to remember something. You could share your food preferences, favourite hobbies, or the kind of tone you like in responses — and it would recall those details later to personalise your experience. But if you didn’t feed it information directly, it wouldn’t retain anything.

That’s now changing.

Reaching feature parity with Google Gemini

With this new update, ChatGPT is catching up to Google’s Gemini, which has long supported both saved info and passive memory. ChatGPT can now do the same — combining what you tell it with what it picks up from past chats.

So if you once mentioned that you love niche history museums and later ask for a Berlin itinerary, ChatGPT won’t just recommend generic tourist spots. It’ll tailor the response using both your explicit preferences and relevant things you’ve said before.

For now, it’s a paid-user perk

There’s a catch, though: this upgraded memory feature is only available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers for now. It’s rolling out globally starting today — except in the UK, EU, and EEA regions (including Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein), where regulatory hurdles are likely at play.

OpenAI says Team, Enterprise, and Education plan users will get access “in the coming weeks.” There’s no word yet on if or when free-tier users will benefit.

Users in control

If memory freaks you out, don’t worry — OpenAI says you’re always in control. You can disable memory entirely, stop it from being used in specific chats, or edit and delete what ChatGPT remembers about you. Temporary chats also won’t reference or influence memory at all.

By combining its memory feature with the ability to recall full past conversations, ChatGPT should now feel more personalised, context-aware, and a lot more like an assistant that actually knows you.
