How to Switch from ChatGPT to Claude (and Take Your History With You)

If you've been thinking about making the switch from ChatGPT to Claude, you're not alone. Following OpenAI's deal with the US Department of War — and Anthropic's very public refusal to accept similar terms — users have been leaving ChatGPT in their millions. According to data from Sensor Tower, reported by TechCrunch, US uninstalls of the ChatGPT mobile app surged 295% in a single day on 28 February. Claude, meanwhile, shot to the number one spot on the US App Store for the first time in the app's history.

But switching AI tools isn't just a matter of downloading a new app. The more you've used ChatGPT, the more it knows about you — your tone preferences, your projects, your working style. Starting from scratch can feel like losing months of work. The good news? Anthropic has made it remarkably easy to bring your context with you.

Here's exactly how to switch from ChatGPT to Claude without leaving everything behind.
