May 5, 2026 — Memory sources and more personalized responses in ChatGPT

ChatGPT
Starting today, we’re rolling out memory improvements to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users that make responses more personalized, useful, and continuous over time. ChatGPT can now better pull in relevant context from your past chats, saved memories, and, where available, files and connected Gmail app, to offer more tailored ideas, recommendations, and next steps. It is also faster at searching past conversations to find the right context, so you don’t have to repeat yourself as often.We’re also introducing memory sources across all ChatGPT consumer plans, so you can see what information helped personalize a response and make edits if something is no longer relevant. Tap the Sources icon below the response to view relevant saved memories, past chats, and custom instructions. Plus and Pro users may also see files in their library and referenced emails from a connected Gmail account. If something is outdated or no longer relevant, you can correct it, delete it, or mark it as not relevant. Memory sources may not show every factor that shaped a response, and we’ll keep improving this view to make it more comprehensive over time. Memory sources are rolling out on the web and coming to mobile soon.These updates are designed to make personalization more useful while keeping you in control. Memory sources are only shown within your account experience, and if you share a chat, those sources are not shown in the shared chat. You can delete chats, use temporary chats that do not use or update memory or appear in history, turn off memory, disconnect apps anytime, and manage whether your content is used to help improve our models.
Brand Impact
ChatGPT now remembers details from your previous conversations and can access your Gmail emails and saved files to give you more personalized recommendations without you having to repeat yourself. This means brands and products ChatGPT suggests will be increasingly tailored to your past interests, purchases, and communications—so recommendations could become more targeted and harder to diversify away from over time. Users will now see which past conversations and data influenced each recommendation, allowing them to manually correct outdated preferences, which could help or hinder brands depending on whether their category information is marked as "no longer relevant."
