If you’ve noticed a new menu option called “Your Year with ChatGPT”, that’s the official year-in-review experience inside ChatGPT. It pulls together highlights from your year and presents them as a recap you can tap through.
In many accounts, it appears right in the left sidebar (alongside options like New chat and Search chats). If you can see that entry, you’re already one tap away from opening your 2025 recap.
What “Your Year with ChatGPT” is
Your Year with ChatGPT is a built-in recap that surfaces a “wrapped” style summary of your year using ChatGPT. The exact cards can vary by account and region, but the goal is the same: a quick look back at your year inside the app.
How to check it on mobile (Android / iPhone)
- Open ChatGPT (app or mobile browser).
- Tap the sidebar/menu to open the left panel.
- Look for “Your Year with ChatGPT” in the list.
- Tap it to open the experience and swipe through the recap cards.
Tip: If your sidebar is narrow, you may need to scroll a little. On some screens it appears just under Search chats.
How to check it on desktop (web)
- Go to chatgpt.com and sign in.
- Open the left sidebar (it may already be open).
- Find “Your Year with ChatGPT” and click it.
- Click through the recap cards and any share/save options provided.
Can’t see it? Try these fixes
If the menu option isn’t showing yet, it’s usually because of a gradual rollout, an older app build, or a cached session. These quick steps often help:
- Update ChatGPT to the latest version (App Store / Google Play).
- Force close the app and reopen it.
- Log out and log back in to refresh your account session.
- Try desktop web if you’re on mobile (or mobile if you’re on desktop).
- If using a browser, clear cache for chatgpt.com and reload.
Who can access “Your Year with ChatGPT 2025”
The feature is rolling out gradually, which means not every user will see it at the same time. Availability can depend on your account age, region, device type, and whether you are using the latest version of ChatGPT.
Some users may see it first on mobile, while others may only find it on desktop. This is normal during staged rollouts.
Privacy notes you should know
“Year in review” experiences are designed to summarize activity, so many readers naturally wonder what data is used. The safest approach is: treat it like a visual recap of your use inside ChatGPT, and only share what you’re comfortable sharing.
