Timestamps for chats in ChatGPT
Feature request: optional inline message timestamps in ChatGPT
I need an optional timestamp that can be inserted or displayed at message creation time inside the conversation itself, and preserved in exports.
Why this matters:
authorship trail for long project development
easier forensic dating of ideas and revisions
less dependence on manual copy/paste workarounds
better retrieval and citation later
Current pain point: I tried to create timestamps manually across Apple devices and found that neither Apple text replacement nor ChatGPT itself provides a fast, reliable inline solution. This creates needless friction for serious long-form project work.
Requested implementation:
optional per-message timestamp display
optional “insert timestamp” command/button in the compose box
preserve timestamps in exports and shared conversations
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
