I would like to request a feature where ChatGPT displays the full date and time not just for the entire chat session, but for each individual message.
Currently, users cannot see exactly when each message was generated unless they manually keep track of it.
This makes it difficult to organize conversations, review discussions, or reference specific points in long chats.
Suggested improvements:
Insert a horizontal divider showing the full date (e.g., “April 28, 2025”) when the date changes.
For each message, display a small timestamp (e.g., “3:45 PM”) next to or below the message bubble.
Always use the full absolute format (e.g., “April 28, 2025, 3:45 PM”) instead of relative terms like “Today” or “Yesterday.”
Why this matters:
Per-message timestamps make it easier to understand the flow and timing of the conversation.
It helps users review specific answers, track conversation history, and manage tasks based on time-sensitive discussions.
Absolute time and date information improves clarity and reduces confusion compared to relative terms.
Thank you for considering this improvement.
