I would like to suggest the addition of timestamps for individual messages within the ChatGPT interface. This feature would enhance user experience by providing a clearer context for when each message was sent or received during a session.
Suggested Implementation:
- A small, unobtrusive timestamp (e.g., “20:15” or “May 18, 2025 – 14:03”) next to or below each message bubble.
- Option to toggle visibility of timestamps in user settings, for those who prefer a cleaner interface.
Use Case:
For users working on long, multi-day or research-intensive conversations, timestamps would:
- Help track when specific ideas or actions were discussed.
- Assist with project documentation or compliance logs.
- Make it easier to recall and refer back to earlier interactions.
This would be especially useful for professionals, researchers, and power users managing multiple threads over time.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
