Microsoft's Mikhail Parakhin said that the number one feature request is for Bing Chat to save historical chats for later for users to come back to them later or look them up later. And it seems like they are working on that feature request, plus more.
Mikhail Parakhin said this on Twitter, here are those tweets:
Of course we do! It's like #1 request right now :-)

He repeated this statement on March 24th, now they are trying to accelerate it:
Just had a status review with the team, everyone is trying to accelerate shipping of the Chat History - this is the number one feature request.

In addition, Microsoft Bing Chat has improved its reliability with lesser used languages. Mikhail wrote, "We improved some less popular languages recently (Hungarian, for example). We hope to keep improving all of them. I need to double-check on Greek."

They also increased the chat limits:
As promised, we continue relaxing the constraints! Accelerating Waitlist acceptance, too. https://t.co/0qlLG8ZEuN

Yusuf Mehdi from Bing shared some big milestones for the past month with Bing Chat:
- 45 million total chats
- 1/3 of daily preview users Chat daily
- 1/3 of preview users are brand new to Bing
- Bing (new and old) passes 100 million daily active users
It is so much fun to watch Microsoft Bing work so fast on Bing Chat while Google sits back and waits more.
Forum discussion at Twitter.
Update: The saved chats feature is almost ready as of March 27th but the team is working on last minute UX/design:
Probably just tabs getting evicted - didn't change anything. Saving chats is coming to all platforms "real soon" - we keep arguing about the design details with Bobby.
