Can I share ChatGPT conversations?
Regrettably, ChatGPT currently lacks built-in sharing capabilities. To share your conversations, you must use the traditional method of manually highlighting the text with your cursor and copying it (Ctrl+C on Windows, Linux, and Chromebook, Command+C on a Mac).
Once you have copied your response, you can paste it wherever you desire, such as a new note, an email body, or an instant message conversation.
So far, there is no option for collaborative ChatGPT conversations, so you cannot invite others to join a thread or share your conversation history in that manner.
