### Question

*How do I know if I have the new ChatGPT images feature or if I’m still using the old one?

~ Rob*

### Answer

Hi Rob,

My setup is ideal for this question right now because my free account has access to the new images feature and my paid account doesn’t (seems backwards but I digress…)

First, expand the sidebar by clicking on the logo in the upper left corner

There should be a section in the sidebar named “Images”

Click on Images and you will see something like this

That’s it.  If you don’t have the images section in the sidebar, you probably don’t have the feature yet. 

Hope that helps.

~ Damien

P.S. I made a quick video, since it is a little easier to follow:
