Chat separation and privacy controls for personal and work use

Hello,

I’m writing to request a feature that I believe would greatly benefit users like myself who use ChatGPT for both personal and professional purposes.

Currently, there is no way to separate personal and work-related conversations within a single account. This creates a difficult situation, especially when one uses different devices (e.g., a personal phone and a work computer) or needs to maintain strict privacy due to personal circumstances. As a result, many of us are forced to use multiple accounts — one for work and one for personal use — which leads to several issues:

  1. Context and memory are not shared between accounts, making it difficult to maintain continuity in conversations.
  2. Subscriptions are tied to individual accounts, which means paying for Plus on both accounts becomes financially burdensome.
  3. There is no way to protect sensitive or private chats from being accessed on shared or work devices.
  4. In my case, I cannot safely use my personal conversations on my work account due to concerns about privacy. Unfortunately, this limits how much I can use the service when I need it most.

A possible solution:
Adding features like folder separation (e.g., personal vs work), password- or PIN-protected chats, or even the ability to assign conversations a privacy level, could help solve this. Alternatively, allowing multiple profiles under one account — each with separate memory and chat history — would be a powerful and user-friendly solution.

I hope you’ll consider implementing features like this in the future. ChatGPT has become a crucial support tool in my life, and improving its usability in situations like mine would mean a lot.

Thank you for your time and for creating such a valuable service.
