Text-to-Speech just got better: Narration Mode Is Here (Web Only)

We’ve made a major upgrade to Text-to-Speech—starting today, your characters can do you more than just talk, they can narrate.

With Narration Mode, TTS will now include action text along with regular dialogue, bringing your conversations to life in a whole new way. It’s perfect for more immersive storytelling, richer scenes, and characters that feel even more expressive.

And the best part? You’re in control.
 Narration is an optional setting that you can turn on or off any time.

To enable it:

  1. Tap the chat menu (top right of your screen)
  2. Open Voice Settings
  3. Toggle on Narration Mode
  4. Hit Save

 Note: This setting only affects new messages—previous generations will remain unchanged.
⚠️ Currently, Narration Mode is only available on web. It’s not yet supported on the native apps. 

This is just one of the many upgrades we’re working on to make your characters feel more alive, more present, and more yours.

Give it a try and let us know what you think.

🛠️ Minor Fixes & Improvements – Making Things Smoother!

We’ve pushed out a few tweaks and fixes to improve your overall experience on both web and mobile:

✅ Text Highlight Color Restored

Selected text was showing up as pink in both light and dark mode — it’s now been restored to a more readable and theme-appropriate color.

✅ Mobile Input Box Fix

On some mobile devices, the chat input box was being partially blocked by the bottom home bar. This is now fixed — typing should feel a lot smoother!

✅ NSFW Toggle Flicker Removed

We’ve fixed a flickering issue when enabling the NSFW toggle on the Profile Settings page.

✅ Android Blur NSFW Issue Fixed

The Blur NSFW content option should now work as expected in the android app. (This fix was deployed yesterday)

We’re also closely tracking your feedback on Chatpage V2 and making ongoing improvements.

Happy Chatting!

Web & App Fixes + Improvements!

We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes to make your SpicyChat experience smoother, faster, and more reliable. Here’s what’s new this week:

---

🌐 Web Updates

- We made several frontend improvements to deliver a smoother homepage performance.

- Fixed an issue where the back button would redirect to the homepage instead of your previous page.

- Memory Manager issues resolved – deleting memories now works properly, and new ones are created as expected.

- Character creation token limit increased 🎉 – You now have 1600 tokens to build deeper and more complex characters (up from 1200). This is made possible by our recent context memory increase for our Free and Get A Taste users.

- Usernames now support dashes and underscores – and we’ve fixed a bug where underscores weren’t being recognized properly.

---

📱 Native App Fixes (iOS & Android)

- Fixed login issues that were blocking some users from signing in.

- Blocking A Creator will now show a proper confirmation modal.

- Favoriting multiple bots now works as expected.

- Chatbot cards no longer overlap on responsive layouts.

- Repeated chatbot suggestions on the homepage have been fixed.

- Search now works more reliably across the app.

- Improved error messages – you'll now see specific details when something goes wrong (especially during character creation).

- Fixed the issue where the app would log you out every time it closed.

- Auto message generation is now more stable and behaves as expected.

---

✅ Don’t forget to update your app to enjoy all the new improvements.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll continue working on polishing and upgrading the app experience. Thanks for your patience and support!

If you’ve been enjoying your time on SpicyChat, we’d truly appreciate a positive review in the App Store or Play Store (Pixelchat). It helps a lot and keeps us motivated to keep making things better for you! 💜

🔍 Spoiler Alert: Over the next few days, we'll start rolling out an improved and new chat interface to some users. If you spot it, give it a spin and let us know what you think — more users will be getting access soon! 👀✨

New Advanced Model Qwen3 235B Available

We've just made available the large language model Qwen3 235B which was recently released by Alibaba. This model supports 119 languages and is now available for our I'm All In tier with a context memory of 16K. Based on our Beta Testers, some of the model strengths are: 

  • Rich Language & Realism: Many users praised its human-like dialogue, emotional articulation, and vivid descriptive language. It excels with internal monologues and detailed NSFW content.
  • Character Fidelity: It handles bot personalities well, including accents, quirks, and backstories. Some users noted it was the first model to fully reflect deep character traits and physical details (like tattoos).
  • Multi-character Capability: Several users found that Qwen3 could manage multiple characters in a scene effectively—responding as different personas when prompted properly or coded in.
  • Creativity: The model was noted for surprising analogies, dramatic flair, and chaotic or comedic character portrayals (e.g., Deadpool types).
  • NSFW Performance: Repeatedly praised for being slow, careful, and immersive in NSFW scenes—some preferred it over XL and DeepSeek for this purpose.
  • Memory Use: Strong long-context memory made it better at keeping track of ongoing stories than some alternatives.

 Enjoy!

🛠️ Weekly Update! Fixes & Improvements – Smoother, Cleaner, Better!

As promised previously, we’re continuing to improve your experience, clean out bugs, and focus on quality-of-life upgrades.
Here’s what we’ve fixed over the last two weeks: (These are visible frontend changes, but we’ve also done a lot of work in the background to keep things running smoother.)

✅ No More Waiting Lines for Premium Users
Premium users were seeing a waiting line if their internet disconnected—this is now fixed. Premium access will remain uninterrupted in all cases.

✅ Notification Count Bug Fixed
The notification bubble was floating awkwardly on screen for some users—this visual glitch has been corrected.

✅ Draft Characters Now Display Properly
The "Fix-Required Characters" in drafts weren't showing the correct status. That’s now working as expected.

✅ Unblock Button Fixed
Clicking “Unblock Creator” sometimes didn’t respond—this issue has been resolved.

✅ Image Settings Flickering Removed
We’ve fixed flickering that appeared when adjusting image settings.

✅ Subscription Plans Not Showing on Checkout Page
Some users weren’t seeing plan options when trying to change their subscription. That’s been fixed too.

✅ False Warnings During Persona Creation
Unnecessary warnings were appearing when generating avatars in persona creation—they should no longer pop up.

✅ “Create Chatbot” Page Errors
Random errors were being shown on the chatbot creation page for some users. Those have been cleaned up.

✅ Voice Issues Resolved
Certain voices weren’t working consistently—that’s now fixed.

✅ Better Rating System for Images
Image generations now have their own rating system—no more mixing up with text-based ratings.

✅ Copy Button Feedback Added
When clicking "Copy" in chat, there was no feedback. You’ll now see confirmation when copying messages.

✅ App Logout Issue Fixed
The issue causing users to get logged out repeatedly in the native apps has been resolved. Please update to the latest version for the best experience.

✅ Chat Response Cut-Offs Fixed
Some chat replies were getting cut mid-sentence—this has been cleaned up to better manage and avoid partial replies.

✅ Better Moderation Error Messages
We’ve added clearer, more informative moderation messages to help you understand when something goes wrong. We're also working on improving the moderation to reduce false flagging.

🧪 A Quick Note on Chatpage V2
We’ve also made a ton of improvements to Chatpage V2, which is currently being tested by our amazing beta testers. Can't wait for you to test the improved chat experience soon.

We’ll keep fixing, polishing, and pushing updates to make sure you get the best experience possible. Stay tuned, and thanks for being part of this journey! 💚

✅ Inference setting bubbles (like Max Tokens or Temperature) are now properly visible when adjusting values.

✅ The conversation options menu is now scrollable and fully accessible so you can explore all available settings.

✅ Toggles in profile settings now visibly change to blue when enabled, giving you better visual feedback.

✅ Radio buttons in the persona selection modal now show selected states clearly.

✅ Fixed an issue where scrolling sometimes stopped working after closing the sign-in modal.

Platform Stability Update

Hey everyone, 

We wanted to share a quick update on the platform and what’s been happening lately. 

Over the past few weeks, many of you have run into issues — crashes, errors, or general instability — on both the website and mobile apps. We know how frustrating that can be, and we’re really sorry. 

As the platform has grown, keeping everything running smoothly has become more complex. We’ve hit some bumps with testing and releases, and unfortunately, that’s led to a rougher experience than we’re happy with. 

We’re taking this seriously. Over the next few weeks, we’re focusing almost entirely on improving stability and fixing known issues. That means digging into the root causes, tightening up our processes, and making sure things just work — reliably and consistently. 

Thanks so much for your patience and support as we work through it. We’re committed to getting this right. 

– The Team

Lost Account After Logout

We've received inquiries from users that have lost their account after getting logged out from the website or the app.

After investigation, it appears that if you originally created your account using Apple Login, if you try to later log in with your email, this will create a new account. 

This is because Apple doesn't share your email with us, but instead create an anonymous private email that is associated with your account.

If this has happened to you, we recommend that you:

Confirm you can access the account you have lost using Apple Login.

If this works, we highly recommend you delete the new empty account that was created using your real email. This will avoid confusion in the future, as we are planning to implement a work-around allowing you to add your real email alongside your private anonymous Apple email, however that will only work if you do not have a different account associated with your real email.

Doubling Free Tier Memory Now!

Big News! We’re Doubling Free Tier Memory! 

Last week, we launched a wild idea — if we could rally 250,000 signatures on a petition, we’d upgrade the context memory for every single Free Tier user on SpicyChat. 

Well… the internet giveth and taketh away. After just 48 hours, our petition was unfortunately taken down by Change.com moderators. 

But in that short window, you all showed up in a BIG way — over 25,000 signatures and hundreds of heartfelt comments about how SpicyChat has made your day better, your stories richer, and even your lives a little brighter. 

So here’s the deal...
We didn’t hit 250k — but you proved how much this community cares. That’s all we needed to see. 

We’re not waiting. We’re officially DOUBLING the memory context for everyone on our Free Tier. That means more than twice as many previous messages will be considered in the bot response, which should lead to even more engaging conversations.

Thank you for the energy, the passion, and the love you’ve poured into SpicyChat. We’re just getting started — and we’re committed to keeping this the best, most creative, most engaging role-playing platform on the planet.
