- ChatGPT Locked Chats protects selected conversations by moving them out of regular history and search.
- Users can unlock chats with a PIN or supported mobile authentication methods.
- Messages in locked chats will not update the memory used in regular conversations.
ChatGPT Locked Chats is rolling out starting today, giving users a protected space for conversations they want to keep separate from regular chat history. The feature lets people move selected chats out of their usual history and search results, then unlock them when needed.
ChatGPT announced Locked Chats on X and says the rollout includes Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu plans. The protected space also has a memory-related distinction: new messages in locked chats will not update the memory used in regular chats.
How ChatGPT Locked Chats Works
Locked Chats gives users a way to move a conversation away from their regular history and search. Instead of leaving sensitive chats alongside everyday conversations, users can place them in a protected space that requires an unlock step before they can be accessed.

The protection method depends on the device. On the web and desktop, users can unlock a locked chat with a PIN. On supported mobile devices, the available options include a PIN, Face ID, Touch ID or the device’s unlock method.
Locked Chats Keeps New Messages Separate From Regular Memory
One key distinction is how ChatGPT handles memory. New messages in locked chats will not update memory used in regular conversations. This keeps information shared in those conversations from becoming part of the memory that informs ordinary chats.
ChatGPT Locked Chats is intended for people who want an additional layer of separation for selected conversations. It is a specific space for chats users choose to protect, rather than a change to every conversation by default.
Which ChatGPT Plans Are Getting Locked Chats?
The rollout starts today across ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu plans. The announcement does not provide a separate schedule for individual plans, so users should check their own ChatGPT interface to see when the option becomes available.
ChatGPT has continued to add changes to its service, from updates to ChatGPT image-generation limits to the GPT-6 Intelligent UI experience. Locked Chats focuses on privacy and access to selected conversations rather than image generation or interface tools.
Conclusion
ChatGPT Locked Chats adds a protected place for conversations users want to keep out of regular history and search. PIN access is available on web and desktop, while supported mobile devices offer additional unlock methods. The rollout starts today across Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu plans.
