On the 8th of March 2023, ChatGPT users had a nasty surprise: all of their chats and conversations were gone from the tool.
The ChatGPT history is currently unavailable on the sidebar, but it hasn’t disappeared entirely. It’s possible that a bug or maintenance is causing the temporary issue, and the team is likely working hard to restore access to the ChatGPT history as soon as possible.
Although there’s no estimated timeline for when the history will be back, users can still retrieve their conversations by accessing specific links. If you have a link to a conversation, clicking on it should take you directly to that thread.
To prevent losing history in the future, you can install the SaveGPT browser extension, which automatically saves your ChatGPT conversations and adds a “Chat History” button to view saved threads within the ChatGPT website.
