Hi everyone,

Earlier today, the SpicyChat iOS app was removed from the App Store. Apple has determined our app currently doesn’t comply with their guidelines. While we’ve always worked hard to comply, it seems it wasn’t enough this time. While we’ve appealed, the chances of the app returning are slim. You can continue chatting without interruption on the web - and in many ways, it’s the best place to chat.

Here’s what this means for iOS users:

✅ If You Already Have the App

• You can continue using it as normal. If you uninstall it, you can re-install it via App Store → Profile → Apps.
• Existing subscriptions will stay active until they expire, but won’t auto-renew on iOS. 
• To avoid interruptions (and get the best, most up-to-date experience), move your subscription to the web.
  
  

🌐 Why Mobile Web Is Better

• 🚀 Faster Rollouts: Features and improvements are released on the web first — no App Store review delays.
• ⚡ Quick Fixes: Bugs and issues can be resolved faster as we can deploy fixes instantly.
• 🎁 Exclusive Ffeatures: Many updates, like advanced chat settings and experimental models, launch on the web first.
• 💻 Seamless Mobile Web Experience: The web version is optimized for mobile devices.
  
  

📲 Save SpicyChat to Your Home Screen

For the smoothest mobile experience, you can add SpicyChat to your home screen via Safari - it’ll feel just like an app!

1. Open Safari and go to spicychat.ai
2. Tap the Share icon
3. Choose Add to Home Screen
4. You’ll now have a SpicyChat icon on your phone, just like the app.
   
   

We know this isn’t the news you wanted to hear, but we want to be upfront with you and give you the best way forward. You can keep chatting, roleplaying, and exploring everything SpicyChat offers on the web app.

Thank you for sticking with us - your support means everything! 💜

• Better Readability Across Devices: Chat bubbles now adjust more naturally to your screen size. Whether you’re on desktop or laptop, the text should feel less cramped and easier to follow.
• Cleaner Message Alignment: All user messages now align consistently to the left, making conversations look more polished and easier to scan.
• Smoother Message Actions: When you want to remove or clone a message, the entire chat bubble is now clickable instead of just a small section, making the process much simpler.
• Consistent Chat Alignment Across Platforms: The chat alignment behaviour is now unified between Web and Native, so it feels the same no matter where you’re chatting.

• Fixed an issue where the Province/State field in checkout wouldn’t always save correctly.
• Fixed a problem where errors weren’t showing up properly if you added more than 12 tags while creating a chatbot.

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.

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. 💜
