Step by step

  1. Open the conversation you want to share

    Navigate to the ChatGPT conversation in your chat history. The conversation must be complete or at a point where you want to share it. You can share conversations from any device where you're logged into ChatGPT.

    Note: Only share conversations that don't contain personal or sensitive information, as the shared link will be publicly accessible.

  2. Click the share button

    Look for the share icon (arrow pointing up and to the right) next to the conversation title at the top of the chat. On mobile, tap the three dots menu first, then select Share. The share button appears only for conversations that contain at least one complete exchange.

  3. Choose your sharing preferences

    Select whether to share the entire conversation or messages up to a specific point. You can also choose to anonymize your name in the shared version. Review the preview to ensure you're sharing exactly what you intend.

    Note: Use the anonymize option when sharing conversations in professional or public contexts to maintain privacy.

  4. Generate the shareable link

    Click Create Link to generate a unique URL for your conversation. ChatGPT will create a permanent link that doesn't expire. The system will confirm the link creation with a success message.

  5. Copy and distribute the link

    Click Copy Link to add the URL to your clipboard. You can now paste this link in emails, messages, social media, or any other platform. Recipients don't need a ChatGPT account to view shared conversations.

    Note: Save important shared links in your notes app or bookmarks, as there's no built-in way to retrieve them later from ChatGPT.

  6. Manage your shared conversations

    Access your shared conversations through Settings > Data Controls > Shared Links. Here you can view all your active shared links and delete any you no longer want to be public. Deleted shared links immediately become inaccessible.

    Note: Regularly review your shared links and remove old ones to maintain better privacy control over your conversations.
