ChatGPT access is now available without an account
Most modern technologies focus on delivering services faster than ever. For example, online banking apps let people complete transactions faster than credit cards, which used to be the most convenient option.
Artificial intelligence is heading in this direction as OpenAI announced it will let everyone use ChatGPT without making an account.

As a result, it would enable more people to try the AI chatbot. The caveat is that you’ll have more restrictions than those with an OpenAI account.

On April 1, 2024, the AI giant announced it would let everyone use ChatGPT without creating an account.
It acknowledges that more than 100 million people across 185 countries use ChatGPT. Consequently, OpenAI wants more people to “experience the benefits of AI.”
This improved ChatGPT access also lets users keep their data from being used in training artificial intelligence models. Toggle that option with these steps:
- Click the tiny question mark on the lower right-hand side.
- Next, click Settings.
- Select Data Controls.
- Afterward, toggle Chat history & training off.
However, this new ChatGPT access mode blocks you from using numerous features. For example, you cannot save or share chats or use custom instructions.
“We’ve also introduced additional content safeguards for this experience, such as blocking prompts and generations in a wider range of categories,” the official webpage says.
In other words, using ChatGPT without an OpenAI account may prevent you from generating specific types of content.
