Locked Chat in ChatGPT can keeps sensitive conversations private. Plus, it is useful if others access your device.

To lock a chat, open ChatGPT and go to the specific conversation.

Tap the three-dot menu next to the chat name and select Lock Chat (if available on your version).

You may be asked to confirm using Face ID, fingerprint, or your device passcode.

Once locked, that chat will be hidden from your regular chat list.

If you want to access a Locked Chat, then Go to the Locked Chats section.

And simply authenticate using Face ID, fingerprint, or passcode.
