As you can see, archiving your conversations is much more convenient thandeleting your ChatGPT history if all you want to do is quickly hide specific chats.

Unfortunately, you cannot hide or archive multiple chats at once. So, if you have too many conversations that you’d like to hide, you’ll have to take your time and do it one by one.

While archiving is a great way to organize your secret conversations with ChatGPT, it’s not a perfect solution likeusing ChatGPT Folders to sort all your chats . It’d be nice if OpenAI let users lock archived chats behind a password for extra protection in a future update.
