OpenAI’s Custom Instructions Feature Now Available to All Users
OpenAI’s custom instructions feature, initially rolled out to ChatGPT Plus subscribers in July, is now accessible to all users. This new setting in your ChatGPT profile on desktop or iOS allows you to provide descriptions that will automatically calibrate ChatGPT’s responses without the need to repeat instructions in every conversation.

How Users Are Utilizing Custom Instructions
The custom instructions section in ChatGPT settings includes fields for users to input information about themselves and specify how they want ChatGPT to respond. These instructions range from personal details to the desired tone of responses, offering users a more tailored conversational experience.
Various users have experimented with custom instructions, showcasing both peculiar and practical applications. While some have tested the feature’s limits with unconventional inputs, others have found that custom instructions enhance ChatGPT’s accuracy and effectiveness.
OpenAI’s Policy on Custom Instructions and Data Protection
OpenAI assures users that it will not utilize instructions that breach usage policies. However, the organization may collect and use data from settings that inadvertently reveal personal information unless users opt out of saving their chat history. Despite some concerns about privacy, OpenAI’s approach to customization emphasizes user control and data protection.
