# Do Grok custom instructions carry over to every new chat?

I’ve set up a few preferences for how Grok responds, such as keeping answers concise and explaining technical terms. I’m trying to figure out whether those preferences apply to new conversations automatically or only to the chat where I entered them.

Have **Grok custom instructions** behaved consistently for you across [separate chats](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/162385/does-grok-remember-useful-details-across-separate-chats-and-can-i-control-that) and devices? I’d also like to know whether account settings, a chat-specific prompt, or the version of the app changes what carries over.
