Feature request: Lock individual chats with Face ID/PIN
OpenAI Developer Community
June 28, 2026
Many users occasionally hand their phone to a family member, child, friend, or colleague so they can ask ChatGPT a quick question. While the app itself can be protected by the phone’s lock screen, there is currently no way to protect specific conversations containing sensitive personal, medical, financial, or work-related information.
Please add the ability to:
* Lock individual chats with Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN.
* Move sensitive chats into a protected folder.
* Optionally hide locked chats from the main conversation list until authenticated.
This would significantly improve privacy without making the app harder to use.
