[Ask us](#contact). ### What can the other person see in a shared ChatGPT conversation? They can view the conversation as it was when you made the link. It can include replies, supported images and uploaded files. It does not give them access to your account, and links are anonymous by default. ### Can the other person continue the chat? They can continue it in their own account. That creates a separate private conversation for them, and your original stays as it is. ### Can I limit a link to certain people? No. Personal-account links work for anyone who has the link, and there is no expiry date you can set. Delete the link when you want to stop access. ### What happens if I delete the shared link or the chat? Deleting the link stops future access but keeps your chat. Deleting the chat removes its link. Neither removes a copy someone already saved. ### How do I share a chat as a file instead of a link? Download or copy the chat and send the file.
