ChatGPT may let you lock chats behind PIN soon: Rumour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

OpenAI appears to be building a way to lock individual ChatGPT conversations behind a PIN or fingerprint scan, based on hidden, not-yet-active code discovered in the latest version of ChatGPT for Android<\/p>\n

Android Authority found references to “locked chats” and the ability to “protect chats” from prying eyes while digging through app version 1.2026.230<\/p>\n

A line revealed from the code seems to be a direct quote about the aim of the feature: “Lock a chat to keep its title and content out of view in your regular sidebar, history, and search results.”<\/p>\n

From this description, one can assume that this locked chat feature works not like a new mode but more like a privacy setting for existing chats, which keeps them away from being seen in any accidental look at your mobile device<\/p>\n

Temporary chats for sensitive conversations are already offered by ChatGPT, but they get completely wiped out after closing them, which make<\/a>s it impossible to access them later on<\/p>\n

The locked chat feature seems to address the above dilemma right away because the conversations will still be stored in your account but just locked for your access<\/p>\n

This is particularly important for people who wish to store a private conversation for future use without exposing it in the chat history of a shared\/borrowed device<\/p>\n

How locked chats would interact with ChatGPT’s memory and recall features remains unclear. It’s possible information shared inside a locked chat would only feed into other locked conversations when memory is enabled, creating a kind of privacy boundary that keeps sensitive context from bleeding into your regular chat history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
