Claude AI Introduces Chat Recall Feature for Seamless Conversations

Anthropic has rolled out a new feature for its AI chatbot, Claude, enabling users to resume conversations exactly where they left off. Available to paying customers on the Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, the update aims to make long-term projects and multi-session chats more convenient by eliminating the need to re-explain previous discussions.

The “chat recall” feature allows Claude to access and reference older interactions across devices on web, desktop, and mobile platforms. Users can enable it through the profile settings by switching on the “Search and reference chats” option. Once activated, the chatbot can retrieve past exchanges on request, helping maintain continuity for research, creative writing, coding assistance, or other ongoing work.

Anthropic emphasises that the feature is privacy-conscious. Unlike some AI assistants that automatically remember all past interactions, Claude’s recall only works when explicitly prompted by the user. This ensures greater control over stored context and avoids unintended data usage. The platform also supports organising conversations into projects and workspaces, making it easier to keep track of multiple threads.

The move comes as Anthropic works to match the capabilities of rivals such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, both of which already offer conversation memory functions. However, Claude’s approach focuses on on-demand retrieval rather than constant data retention.

The launch follows the company’s recent introduction of weekly usage limits, implemented to reduce the strain of high-volume usage. Despite these restrictions, the recall update signals Anthropic’s commitment to expanding practical features for productivity-focused users, especially in professional and enterprise settings.

With this update, Claude is positioned as a more capable, privacy-friendly alternative in the competitive AI assistant space, offering the convenience of conversation continuity without compromising user control over personal data.
