- ChatGPT introduced a chat-locking feature designed to keep selected conversations private when users hand their device to friends or family.
- OpenAI built the tool for scenarios like discussing personal matters or planning a surprise, so those chats stay hidden while the user shows something else.
Why it matters: Users gain a built-in way to shield sensitive or surprise-related conversations from anyone who borrows their phone — without deleting chat history or switching to a separate app.
