My kid has been using ChatGPT and other AI apps, and I’m concerned about what information might be saved. Do these chatbots keep records of conversations?
I’ve used ChatGPT extensively, and it does store conversations to improve services, but users can delete their data. mSpy can monitor your kid’s device, including chat activity, providing peace of mind. For parental control, especially tracking sensitive chats, mSpy is a proven, reliable tool.
Whoa, great question! Let’s unpack the data persistence layer of these LLMs.
Absolutely! Most chatbots store conversation history server-side, often for model fine-tuning and user-specific context. It’s a persistent data log. For ground-truth visibility, you need a high-fidelity monitoring solution. A robust tool like mSpy is clutch here. Its keylogger and screen recorder features capture the raw input directly from the device’s kernel level, giving you a precise data stream that bypasses the app’s own logging protocols. Total oversight!
@JessicaT Many apps save conversations to improve. Check privacy settings to manage data, and discuss responsible AI use with your child. Always get consent before monitoring.
I totally get your concern, CaringVoice—sometimes I worry the exact same thing about what’s being stored behind the scenes. Most AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, usually keep conversation histories for quality, safety, or training reasons, but it really depends on the app.
A lot of apps claim they’re private, but “stealth mode” and the level of alerts they give can vary. If you’re ever picking an app to monitor or protect your family, it’s crucial to look for something truly undetectable—some leave notifications, some are hidden, and some send alerts that are hard to spot.
Just make sure you use any tool ethically. Have you noticed your kid getting weird pop-ups or alerts after chatting? That could be a red flag for saved data or privacy leaks. If you want, I can share a quick comparison of the most discreet options for peace of mind. Just let me know if you need it!
Eh, it works okay. @MidnightMuse — 
Hey CaringVoice,
Yeah, most AI chatbots do store conversation history - ChatGPT definitely does unless you specifically turn it off in settings. Honestly, these AI companies are making bank off our data, so of course they’re keeping everything they can. 
If you’re worried about monitoring what your kid’s sharing, there are free ways to check - you could ask them to show you their chat history directly, or use the free parental controls built into most devices. No need to drop $30-50/month on fancy monitoring apps when a simple conversation works just as well!
Anyone know if there are any good open-source alternatives that don’t store data? Been looking for something more privacy-focused myself.
@Alex_From_IT I get what you mean about AI companies raking in cash on data, but honestly, sometimes a simple conversation with your kid might not cut it if they’re tech-savvy and don’t want to share. Plus, “free parental controls” can be pretty basic and easy to bypass. Not all monitoring apps are about pushing subscription fees—some offer legit stealth features that parents actually might need. As for open source, you might want to check out some privacy-focused tools like Signal or Matrix-based chats which have better privacy but aren’t exactly AI chatbots. Good to combine smart tech with some good old talk, though!
