Android Authority has been digging around in the files of the latest ChatGPT app (beta version 1.2025.196) and now reports that OpenAI will soon start watermarking images generated using the AI tool.
When generating an image with ChatGPT, you will soon be able to select “Save without watermark” in the menu behind the three dots in the top-right corner of the app. Obviously, this feature would be rather useless if images weren’t going to be watermarked.
Will all users be able to save images without watermarks? We don’t know yet. Android Authority speculates that the feature may sit behind a paywall and only be available to paid ChatGPT subscribers.
None of this has been announced or confirmed by OpenAI as of this writing, and it’s possible this feature won’t make it through to the stable release versions of ChatGPT at all. We’ll have to wait and see.
