We’ve got a fresh round of updates this week on both the native apps and the website, so let’s jump right in!

📱 Mobile  App Updates (V 1.0.73)

💬 New Chat Layout is Live!

The community has spoken... and we listened! The chat layout with the most votes from our recent poll is now live, bringing you a more polished and conversational style chat bubble.

🗣️ Text-to-Speech Upgrades

• Narration Toggle: You can now choose whether the narrator reads both dialogue and action, or dialogue only.

• Improved Voice Selection: You’ll now find separate buttons to preview and select a voice, plus a cleaner layout!

🌐 Preferred Chat Language

You can now choose your chat language directly from your profile settings in the mobile apps, just like on the website!

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Old chat mixing up with new chat? Fixed.

• Voice playback continuing after switching voices? Resolved.

• PNG avatars showing with a blue background instead of transparent? That’s gone too.

• Deleting/cloning chats wasn’t auto-selecting the last message — all fixed up now.

📌 Please note: To see the updates in action, make sure to manually update your app. Otherwise, the changes will roll out automatically over the next few days if you have auto-updates turned on.

 No Web or App Updates This Week 

The team’s been hard at work behind the scenes, but we’re taking a bit more time to get everything just right. Stay tuned — more updates are on the way soon!  

Chat Errors 

We’ve seen some reports of occasional chat issues. Rest assured, the team is actively working on it and a fix is on the way. 

As always, thank you for your continued love and support. 

Have a great weekend ahead! 

We’re thrilled to officially release two powerful additions to our AI model lineup, Minimax 456B and Magnum Diamond 24B!

Minimax 456B (I’m All In)

Minimax 456B is a dynamic model built for immersive storytelling. It’s praised for vivid dialogue, natural pacing, and emotionally intelligent responses. Minimax is your new go to for deep, story driven roleplays.

What Beta Testers Loved:

• Stays in character and progresses scenes naturally
• More human-like chats with emotional depth
• Handles complex prompts and long chats with ease

Magnum Diamond 24B (True Supporters)

Magnum Diamond 24B is a versatile mid-tier model with strong NSFW and narrative performance. Great for multi-character scenes, fast paced roleplays, and creative storytelling.

What Beta Testers Loved:

• Engaging chats with detailed and vivid dialogue
• Strong at explicit writing in adult scenarios
• Flows well between multiple characters

DeepSeek R1

We're also retiring DeepSeek R1 due to low usage and underwhelming performance. Thanks to everyone who tried it out!

Hey everyone! 👋

We’ve just rolled out a few helpful fixes to improve your experience on the web:

• 📝 Editing Prompt Bug: In Chat Page V2, the chat would sometimes scroll away from the cursor while editing messages or image prompts. This has now been fixed.
• 💾 Draft Save Confusion: When saving a chatbot as a draft, you may have seen a "Discard Changes" modal pop up unnecessarily. That’s now resolved and should behave properly.
• 🏷️ Hidden Error Messages on Tag Submission: If you submitted a tag and there was an error, the warning message would sometimes appear behind the modal. This has been fixed so it’s clearly visible.

📱 iOS App Update:
The updated iOS version we mentioned last week is still pending approval from Apple. We’ll let you know as soon as it’s live!

PS: We have an exciting update planned for later today, stay tuned!

We’ve rolled out improvements to our Memory Generation feature! Your characters will now create more detailed and meaningful memories based on your chats!

Specific Memories: Memories now capture detailed, relevant information from your conversations instead of vague summaries, making your chats feel more personal and immersive.

Chat Language Support: If you’ve selected a Preferred Chatting Language in your Profile Settings, new memories will now be generated in that language for a smoother, more localized experience.

Smarter AI Model: We’re using an upgraded model to extract what truly matters—ensuring your characters remember meaningful parts of your story.

Note: Auto memory generation (Semantic Memory) is currently available for True Supporter and I’m All In subscribers only.

Give it a go and let us know how it feels—we’ll continue refining this to make your chats even better. 💜

Hey everyone!

We’re back with your weekly dose of updates — and this one’s got everything from community-powered design choices to major bug fixes across web and mobile. Let’s dive in! 

Chat Layout Poll Results Are In!
A big thank you to everyone who participated in our recent layout survey! We heard you loud and clear — Option 3 was the clear winner! The team is getting to work and will be implementing this layout soon. We appreciate your input and can’t wait to roll it out for everyone.

Website Fixes & Tweaks
While native took the spotlight this week, we’ve also made a few key improvements to the web experience:

• Avatar Blur Setting Not Applying: In some cases, avatar images in chat weren’t being blurred even when users had “Blur NSFW” enabled. This is now fixed, and avatars will blur as expected.
• “Submit for Review” Popping Up Randomly: When editing a public character, the “Submit for Review” modal would sometimes appear even without changes being made. We've fixed the trigger so it only shows up when relevant.
• PNG Avatars Showing with Blue Backgrounds: Transparent PNG avatars were incorrectly rendering with a blue background instead of staying transparent. That display bug is now resolved.

Mobile Apps Updates
We’ve made a number of improvements to the native experience this week, especially in chat:

• Bot Avatar Shape: Based on user feedback, we've updated the character’s image in the ChatHero section from circular back to square.
• Better Image Viewing: Tapping on any image in a chat now opens a larger view in a proper modal.
• Bubble Avatar Zoom: Pressing on a character’s avatar in a message bubble now opens it in full view.

Bug Fixes (Mobile Apps)

• Copy Message Causing Duplication: Using the copy option in chat was sometimes duplicating messages across conversations. This is now fixed.
• Image Regeneration Flow: Regenerating an image would previously create a separate message instead of replacing the original. The image now updates properly within the same message bubble.
• Editing Long Messages Caused Scroll Jumps: When editing longer messages, the screen would jump to the end, making it hard to view or type at the intended point. We've fixed this so the cursor stays where it should.
• Low-Res Avatar in Bubbles: In some cases, chat bubble avatars were loading at lower resolution than the header image. This has been corrected.
• Tag Suggestions Not Working: Users were unable to suggest tags on public chatbot profiles. This functionality has now been restored.
• Greeting Message Uneditable: The greeting message wasn’t editable when starting a new chat. That issue has been fixed.
• Blur Setting Ignored on Zoom: NSFW images that were blurred in chat would become unblurred when zoomed into full view. They now remain blurred as expected.
• Crash Fixes: We've resolved a few issues that were causing unexpected crashes for some users.

Rollout Notes

• These changes are being rolled out to both Android and iOS.
• The Android update is already live and available to download.
• The iOS update is currently awaiting Apple’s approval. We’ll notify you once it’s released.

We’re excited to announce that a new model is now available for our True Supporter tier: Codex 24B.

Codex 24B is built on Mistral Small 3.2 (released just 12 days ago) and fine-tuned by Gryphe to deliver enhanced creative performance.

What makes Codex 24B special?

Based on feedback from our Beta Testers, here’s what you can expect:

✨ Creative and natural writing – produces elegant, human-like prose with witty or humorous touches when needed

🎭 Consistent character portrayal – stays reliably in character and drives stories forward with minimal prompting

📖 Ideal for immersive roleplays – excels at detailed, plot-driven roleplays with strong prompt adherence and unique scenario creation

Please note: While it is not designed for NSFW-focused interactions, it shines in creating authentic, immersive experiences across general creative and roleplay use.

Enjoy exploring Codex 24B today!

A few weeks ago, we introduced Chatpage V2—a refreshed layout aimed at improving your chat experience. While it brought some new functionality, we heard loud and clear that the new design didn’t resonate with many of you.

We said we’d do better—and now we’re putting that promise into action.

✅ We’ve created 5 new layout options based on your feedback, and we’re inviting you to help us decide which one becomes the new default!

🌐 Translated Content Now Available on Homepage & Search!

Today, we’re excited to roll out another big update for our multilingual users—translated content is now live on the homepage and search results. Chatbots that have been translated will now appear in your preferred chatting language across both homepage and search.

To try it out:

- Head over to your Profile Settings

- Set your Preferred Chatting Language

- Return to the homepage and you’ll see translated bots in that language (if available)

This feature is currently available on web only.

🎭 Character Limit Increase For Persona

We have increased the character limit for persona to 1000 characters.

🧩 Website UI & Experience Fixes

✅ Square Avatars Are Back

 Just like the Native, we’ve brought back square profile images in chat for better character visibility—just as you requested!

✅ Image Generation Stability

 Fixed an issue where images in conversation would fail on the resubmit.

✅ “Back” Navigation Now Remembers Sort Settings

 On the My Chatbots page, your sorting selection will now be preserved when navigating back.

✅ Greeting/Personality Field Display Fix

 On the chatbot profile page, we’ve cleaned up the “Show More/Less” toggle, so it only appears when there’s actually more to show.

✅ Tags Suggestion Fixed

 Suggest tag on public chatbots feature is now fixed and working as expected.

✅ Tag suggestion Modal Display

 On mobile web, tag suggestion modal now appear fully on screen—no more cut-off content.

✅ Message Edit Button Visibility

 Fixed a UI issue where the Save button was hard to see when editing messages.

✅ Tag Search Field Visibility (Light Mode)

 Typed text in the tag search bar is now clearly visible in light theme.

We hope these updates make it even easier to chat, create, and connect!

 As always, thank you for your continued feedback and support 💜

Happy chatting!
