Many users occasionally hand their phone to a family member, child, friend, or colleague so they can ask ChatGPT a quick question. While the app itself can be protected by the phone’s lock screen, there is currently no way to protect specific conversations containing sensitive personal, medical, financial, or work-related information.
Please add the ability to:
Lock individual chats with Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN.
Move sensitive chats into a protected folder.
Optionally hide locked chats from the main conversation list until authenticated.
This would significantly improve privacy without making the app harder to use.
Hey @Geula, welcome to the community! This is a thoughtful privacy request, and the use case makes a lot of sense.
The closest workaround right now is archiving chats to hide them from the main sidebar, or using Temporary Chat when you do not want something saved. That said, neither is the same as Face ID, Touch ID, PIN protection, or a protected folder.
Being able to lock sensitive chats or hide them until authentication would give users more control without changing the regular chat experience for everyone else. I can’t share a timeline right now, but I’ll pass this feedback along internally.
