Overview

• On June 3, OpenAI began rolling out its memory feature to logged-in free ChatGPT users, extending continuity beyond individual sessions.
• The free memory feature stores recent conversation details for days, while ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers continue to enjoy comprehensive, months-long recall of older exchanges.
• Free users in Europe must opt in via settings to enable memory; in other regions the feature updates automatically when turned on.
• Users can disable saved memory at any time or use the Temporary Chat mode to prevent conversations from being recorded.
• The rollout advances OpenAI’s effort to make AI interactions more natural and encourages upgrades to paid plans for extended memory capabilities.
