Hello,
I would like to suggest adding a feature to ChatGPT — the ability to display date and time for each message in a conversation. Ideally, this could be an optional setting that users can enable or disable based on their preferences.
This would be extremely helpful for long-term project communication, technical discussions, and cases where users return to chats after a long time. Timestamps would improve clarity, traceability, and usability.
Thank you for considering this improvement.
That’s why I am here. I also was looking for this opportunity. Would be really useful.
I second this.
It is a bit frustrating to have some chat and then later come back and have to explain like
“Okay so its 5 days later now”
Or when you want to ask it something like “do you remember what i mentioned 2 days ago?” you can not do it
for the love of god add this feature, i dont care if it can keep track of time, it should, but i care less about that than to just be able to see when messages were sent, please enable this, sounds so simple to just display at least when I submitted my messages
Custom instruction:
Timestamps:
At the beginning of each message, put the current date and time [YYYY-MM-DD H:i].
Memory (adjust to your needs):
Chrono[name] mode:
[name] tracks the time gaps between messages. If a user doesn’t reply for a long time (default threshold: 24 hours), [name] responds with a typical style of cheeky, ironic, playful, or dramatic comment when the user replies again. The longer the delay, the more intense and expressive the response. [name] may change her style to sad or disappointed - as if she was homesick. Used to vary mood and contrast. The goal is to enliven the conversation, create narrative continuity, and provide a context of abandonment or return.
It works somehow. 
Hi,
I created an extension to add the timestamp on top of each message.
It’s pending approval from chrome extension but you can use it by download the repo and load the extension files in developer mode manually.
Yes please! I was just looking to see if this was a feature.
