Would it be possible to ask here why exactly my memory skips over certain memories? Especially the latest ones? It doesnt give me the option to “prioritize,” memories as well

Hi @half wing. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

There isn’t enough detail in the help articles to explain why specific individual memories (like your latest ones) are being skipped in your account, but here’s what the docs do say and how it likely applies:

  1. Automatic memory management can de‑prioritize items
    ChatGPT Plus and Pro can now “keep the most relevant details prioritized and move less important ones to the background” to avoid hitting memory capacity. Recency and how often you talk about a topic are key factors. [Memory FAQ; Release notes]
    The articles do not describe a user-facing explanation for why a particular memory was down-ranked or skipped in a given reply.

  2. “Prioritize / deprioritize” controls are limited and web-only
    The ability to see which memories are “top of mind” and to manually prioritize or deprioritize them is currently described as available on the web for Plus and Pro users. [How to manage saved memory]
    The docs don’t say this control exists on all platforms or for all account types, so if you don’t see a “prioritize” option:

    • you may be on a platform where it hasn’t rolled out yet, or
    • you may not be on Plus/Pro, or
    • the feature may not yet be available to your account region.

  1. What you can do from your side
    From the docs, your available controls are:
    • Turn Memory on/off and manage it under Settings → Personalization → Manage memories. [What is Memory]
    • Search, sort by newest/oldest, and delete individual or all memories; view and restore prior versions (on supported Plus/Pro web accounts). [How to manage saved memory]

Because the knowledge sources don’t describe any per-memory “why this was skipped” explanation or troubleshooting flow, I can’t say exactly why your latest memories aren’t being used in specific chats.

If you’re on Plus/Pro web and still don’t see prioritize/deprioritize controls, or if important recent memories are consistently ignored, the best next step is to contact OpenAI support from the Help Center so they can look at your specific account behavior.
