I Tried ChatGPT’s Year In Review, Here’s How You Can Check Yours

OpenAI has quietly rolled out a new feature called Your Year With ChatGPT, and if you enjoy end-of-year recaps like Spotify Wrapped, this one will feel familiar. It’s a personalized look at how you’ve used ChatGPT over the past year, showing patterns, themes, and a few playful stats pulled from your conversations.

I’ve already tried it, and yes, it’s live in India too.

Here’s how you can check your own ChatGPT year-in-review, plus a few things to keep in mind before you look for it.

What Is “Your Year With ChatGPT”?

Your Year With ChatGPT is an optional recap feature from OpenAI. It summarizes how you interacted with the chatbot throughout 2025.

Instead of showing individual chats, it focuses on the bigger picture. You’ll see recurring themes from your conversations, the types of questions you asked often, and some fun activity-based labels or archetypes. It’s meant to be reflective, not overly analytical.

The feature works across Free, Plus, and Pro accounts. Subscription level doesn’t matter here.

Step 1: Make Sure You’re Eligible

Before you start tapping around the app, there are a few basics you’ll need to check.

First, saved memory and chat history both need to be turned on. The recap relies on these to pull insights from past conversations. If you’ve disabled them, the feature won’t show up.

Second, you need to meet a minimum activity level. If you’ve only used ChatGPT a handful of times this year, you might still see a recap, but it’ll be limited to basic usage stats.

Lastly, make sure you’re running the latest version of the ChatGPT app on Android or iOS. The feature doesn’t currently show up on older builds.

Step 2: Find The Year In Review Inside The App

Once everything’s set, open the ChatGPT app.

For most users, Your Year With ChatGPT appears as a banner on the home screen. If you see it there, just tap it and you’re in.

If the banner doesn’t show up, tap the plus icon in the app and look for the Your Year With ChatGPT option in the menu. Selecting it opens your recap.

The whole thing is laid out in a card-style format, so you can swipe through it at your own pace.

Step 3: Explore Your Stats And Themes

Inside the recap, you’ll see a breakdown of the themes you kept coming back to this year. That could be work-related prompts, creative writing, personal planning, or something else entirely.

You’ll also get a few lighthearted labels based on how you use ChatGPT. I got the Navigator archetype, which tracks with how often I jump between topics and use the tool to figure things out rather than get one-off answers.

It’s not trying to psychoanalyze you. It’s more like a gentle mirror of how the app fits into your routine.

Step 4: Share It Or Just Keep It To Yourself

Once you’ve gone through the recap, you’ll see options to share individual cards on social media. This part is completely optional.

If sharing isn’t your thing, you can just scroll through the stats, close the feature, and move on. Nothing gets posted unless you explicitly choose to share it.
