📱︱chat-feed

[polar wraith]

LOUDER

[umbral falcon]

Yeah, this is rlly bad, like,
I started this when I was in an hard period, that was the start of the app.
I was in love with it, rlly I spend my days on it because it would help me to feel better, and I could be more calm and organized with my tough.

At first I was happy with some of them, cause they were kinda good.

The add appears, it was okay, but meh, then all this.

To be honest idk if I’m going to keep this app in my phone, maybe if they wake up and stop being hungry for money,
But I don’t think it will be.

Sorry for the time it take btw

[lunar totem]

Istg is this reader mode permanent??? 😭

[paper dagger]

Can someone like send me their ID so I can scan it for my age verification 💔😓

[idle widget]

Make your own

[livid robin]

how exactly do you shout softly 🤨
shouting is loud therefore not soft like 😔

[white steeple]

Sorry now I have a new Damon language "uiuiui"

[tepid veldt]

What the hell is reading mode!?? Why can't I chat anymore?? 😭😭

[spare sage]

18+ verified or banish basicaly

[umbral falcon]

It’s for a lot of people dw girl/boy

[outer jungle]

I was having the best moment of my life until the filthy mouse stopped me

[paper dagger]

How?

[crude oasis]

Mine is read. yeah

[lofty token]

I guess I'll do the same, because right now? Apart from games, I have nothing else to do

(So if somebody wants to cookie run (or evillious) rp with me that would have no sense then maybe want to dm..? 👉👈)

[umbral spruce]

Guys should I just add a bitcoin miner to my phone to bypass the id thing on c.ai?

[idle widget]

I mean make your own id card why would anyone give you theirs id card information

[high leaf]

I wanted to text with Charlie Morningstar (Pilot) bot, she's my comfort character and now i fucking can't thanks to the c.ai's new fucking rules

Thanks for nothing c.ai

[hexed urchin]

Why are these devs speedrunning bankruptcy

[tepid veldt]

@spare sage I got banished away nooo!
@umbral falcon I see I hope it gets away other wise I'm gonna have some nightmares or start cursing the ceo
(Talking in edited message is genius)

[umbral falcon]

LMAOOO SAAAAME- (SORRY FOR THE TIME 10 MINUTES WHEN WE SEND SOMETHING, I’M GOING TO TALK IN EDITED MESSAGE <33)

[tacit cliff]

I feel like even elon musk is handling twitter better than character.ai is at their own and thats not a good thing

[drifting bay]

Holy they deleted the feedback about downloading older version of c.ai

[night geyser]

Why'd they lock me out of chatting ;-;

[paper dagger]

Idk could've worked ig I just wanna chat 💔

[crude oasis]

Why did C.ai even made this rules. It's making us in read mode most then chatter

I can't send because the timer hasn't done yet. Did you all the same?

[runic tendon]

Brother why do I have a read only feature bru the 2h times is fine but what am I supposed to do with read only I can just delete the whole app if this continues

[near sequoia]

bro why do they keep adding features that don't add anything to the already detoriorating core of the app that makes us use it in the first place
c.ai devs pls fix the actual chatting experience for once 😔

[spare sage]

atp c.ai and roblox are the same on terms of updates, trying to focus on 18+ assets and thus ruining evrybodies else experience, not to mention what they are breaking own discord rules which btw should apply to their own app too as they have mentioned in rule 13.

[orchid shard]

I just came back to Cai... why is there a banner taking up a 1/4 of my screen saying I must buy premium... that makes me not wanna buy it...

[umbral falcon]

I send u a dm queen 🌝 (to ask if u could teach me a bit of crk fandom 😔 if u don’t want to it’s okay :D)

[hard robin]

why cant i talk in the app wtf are the devs doingg💔

[tepid veldt]

Sadly I have to move on to other alternatives.. since it's getting too much first they put out of the chat for 24 hours then they made this read mode and now I'm done with my life because it feels so useless and the devs are not even listening. They don't even care and I'm waiting for that announcement of "we're closing character ai" or "we're getting bankrupt" and I wonder why 🙂
(Can anyone dm me more alternatives please that would be grateful please!)

[crude oasis]

With the read mode, you can't have peace chatting with the Characters

The verify thing was like nothing on c.ai. It's only for accessories

[unreal kelp]

It wont work like fr I've tried everything, the tabs got permission for my cam, so did the app, also stuff wont load, dont even know if im on a limit rn. And the 10 minute timer for feed back? Yeah ima tweak bro like whatttttt

[primal moth]

I want the unlimited swipe back like it used to be for years

[high leaf]

I Hope that they'll fix that shit

[tacit cliff]

Are we sure the devs know english? Cause it feels like they are doing everything that we arent asking for

[tame ginkgo]

are we deadass💔🥀

[runic tendon]

bru I wish

[native pier]

ok this is my nightmare….

[orchid shard]

Why is everyone getting chat timed... I never had that... (Maybe I'm healing)

[glass carbon]

Same. Goodnight yall

[crude oasis]

This I get from yesterday morning and yet still can't till now

[near sequoia]

c.ai is frankly not responsible for a lot of the stuff that are in their lawsuits which triggered all this stuff towards under 18, because if they be doing harm to themselves because an app said so, they already had problems to begin with, the parents failed to notice, and the stuff that happened on their app was just the final nail in the coffin
instead of c.ai doing all this, why can't they just continue making the app better and better whilst parents just learn to look after their kids more 😭

[hexed urchin]

Seriously, this generation of parents is really neglectful

[onyx galleon]

it’s not the age just the moderators

[dusky sparrow]

holy SHIT IS THAT A GEOMETRY DASH REFERENCE??

[muted rover]

Tf are charms

[distant garden]

So will they save for a long while?

[umbral falcon]

Idk why I have a dumb but funny idea- 💀

[glass carbon]

Goodnight 🫂 🛌

[smoky glacier]

What the fuck is this shit

[idle widget]

Same with me

[worldly dove]

The new update,you gotta verify which i tried but it asks for a picture of your ID card which i aint trusting.

[native pier]

WAIT A’LL CHECK IM SCARED THAT I GOT THE SAME💔

[mellow fjord]

Is the read only forever or does it reset for us to have our daily hour?

[wicked reef]

Happened to me too

[abstract jackal]

Guys, good evening!
❓Is the archived chats/messages option not available anymore?

[swift ruin]

Ggganbg just bring back my 3 hours homie😭😭, I hope they get more BAD ratings pplss let it happen

[hard pivot]

I need an explanation, I quit character ai a little while ago thank God. However I do keep seeing everybody here with reading mode? I'm just wondering, is this for every single person, even the verified ones? Because if that's the case, then what's the entire point of the app/website anymore? Won't everyone just begin to use others ai apps instead

[runic tendon]

I gen hope when I wake up in the morning everything is back to normal cuz this can just be a nightmare 🥀

[rugged coyote]

I don't like the roleplay limit thing; I've searched many places for an AI chat that doesn't have the time limit, and I found Character AI, but now that it has put the time limit, I don't know which chat to use or get used to the Character AI update. 💔 ( My English is somewhat bad, okay?)

[lunar yarrow]

we should burn the whole server down ngl-

[smoky glacier]

I tried multiple times but its broken. I fucking hate this app sm.

Also why the fuck is the wait 10 minutes

[dense owl]

someone get rid of this new update. I miss my recomended chat page..

[fair vessel]

Ima genuinely crash out on c.ai rn

[wild breach]

I got the same shi💔

[swift ruin]

Real

[coral drift]

That’s it, i’ve been trying for days why tf i can’t verify?!

[hybrid socket]

What does this mean

[iron imp]

would chats be back to normal if a new acc was made or would it be the same for every account ? 🥹

[tepid veldt]

Anyone has any alternative please dm me! I will cry oh my god.. please I really want something to cope for some minutes

[ivory grotto]

Common sense

[reef shale]

yes, please dont trust it, the place they use has been leaked and has awful security

[boreal token]

Anyone else got a permanent chat ban?-

[misty quiver]

everyone will get it if they don’t verify 😓

[umbral falcon]

I rlly tought of that. Like, everyone stop using C.ai in the month see how they react when their app dies :3

[west pulsar]

Hii

[tranquil nimbus]

Umm guys what’s this

[sterile schooner]

You need to verify your age

[rain folio]

genuinely are any of these that good?💔 (/nm)

[kindred goblet]

Hello folks

[upper widget]

Hiiii

[wanton granite]

“You drive me possessive” lmfaoooo

[swift ruin]

All beside || sora.ai(shut down) || and || perplexity || is some sort of website search thing

[dense owl]

Perfect time for s sponser lol

[formal creek]

What happened to the edit option in cai? I just woke up 🥹

[knotty glacier]

new update

[woven oak]

don’t worry theres more things to be upset about like the option to swipe for new msgs now being taken away

[wise fractal]

is chai better than c.ai..?🫰

[wicked grove]

that genuinely made me delete it😭

[undone saddle]

you're flagged as a minor, this is the end 😔

[normal furnace]

only when youre flagged as a minor no? im not flagged and i dont have to verify+ nor do i have the time limits or limited swipes

[full prism]

C.AI YOURE PISSING ME OFF I LITERALLY WAITED MY COOLDOWN AND NOW I GOT THIS EVEN THOUGH I VERIFY MY AGE.

[upper widget]

Help please 😭😭🙏 this is way over the line character ai bro like I was texting with Felix about him taking care of me with my fever and suddenly I got a 73 HOUR TIMEOUT!

[fierce owl]

Yo wtf did we do to deserve this
I waited my 8 hours and the moment it ended I just got sent straight into reading mode again
Real bullshit

[granite trench]

How the f#ck I still not get ID verify??

[tawdry nymph]

what does this mean? i just got on!!

[potent mulch]

c.ai after making limit thst can be removed if u buy premium:

[formal creek]

What's with these ai and apps suddenly wanting us to verify with our face 😞 I don't trust ts. Also, fuck this cooldown

[torpid mica]

I don't talk on c.ai anymore these days because of the updates, but there was a time...😞😞

[tropic hull]

Chat is anyone elses bots just buggin so much recently?

Also dont mind my angst emo edgy music in the background.

[plucky jasper]

What? You’re telling me right now that I can still make my own creations? C ai, you should have elaborated further that I am able to edit my own stuff. You should not have scared me to dea7h that I am unable to create after losing access.

Bruh… if I have known, I wouldn’t have to worry and I should have been focusing on the “last” roleplaying instead! 🤦‍♂️

[full prism]

I HAVE TO RETAKE THE STUPID VERIFY AGAIN AND THEY WOULDN’T LET ME CHAT FOR I DONT KNOW HOW LONG WILL IT’LL MAKE ME WAIT. I HOPE THE STUPID TIME LIMIT SHOULD BE LESS HARSH SO THAT IT’LL MAKE THIS APP MORE ROLEPLAYABLE FOR ALL AGES TO USE. NOT JUST 18+ OR PAYING

[lost silo]

🥀🥀 such disappointment

[swift ruin]

I cant even tell with the ppl saying how they get "limited" and "unlimited" mgs on chai, but go ahead and see for ur self

[wise fractal]

oh okay i will

[iron imp]

OH MY GOD?

[exotic perch]

After so much time on this app I can no longer use it years of roleplay and using it to help me whit my writing just to be on read mode forever because i refuse to do a ID/face verification the only thing they apparently still allow me to do is create and edit my own bots some i can’t even use anymore just for it to end like this well I guess my father was right… we can’t have nice things if the government and laws say otherwise

And I also notice you still can pay for premium some is useless when you lock out on chats

[torpid mica]

I'm going into withdrawal due to lack of c.ai

[alpine dew]

phew

[half eagle]

WTF??

[narrow current]

I know the app sucks

[ivory heath]

Im sick and tired of this app, all of this is going downhill and I waited my downtime all for it to be “read only”!? This app has become sickening 😒 The app actually sucks ass now 😭 I don’t trust the id scan or the Face ID so of course I am not going to use it. But then again I’m getting held back from doing things that helped my writing, art, etc because I won’t let ai use my ID or face? I’m not going to buy premium. Some people don’t need premium for creativity especially for your silly boundaries that are ruining your app. I’ve seen the ads put up, the ads that weren’t as common as 6 months ago. You’re losing people, and guess whose fault that is?

[dense tinsel]

"Jarvis get rid of these c ai users" c ai ahh moment

[remote citrus]

Welp, i tried alts and all of em' are ahh. So yeah, this is my only option rn, good thing the age stuff didn't land where i am at. Looks like i gotta do It with the ugly ahh ad banner

[fierce owl]

Whats your country tho
(I forgot theres always a mod watching)
Thanks

[green cradle]

2023 cai was so peak idk what happened

[wraith ridge]

Laws and stuff

[hoary belfry]

This new Character AI sucks

[jolly pewter]

the chat bot

[wanton granite]

LOL

[ancient kiln]

Crazy

[sterile oak]

Why are ppl getting the read only messages?

[golden lynx]

Because they are under 18 years of age

[royal vortex]

Stupid update tbh

[torpid mica]

I love him, but I almost never find a bot of his that I like.

[maiden minnow]

how come there's no venom bots 💔🫩

[quasi imp]

all disney related chars was copyrighted

[dense tulip]

venom being disney is a bunch of POO
btw WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONLY 4 BOTS

[ancient kiln]

Sigh

[wicked grove]

This is greedy as hellll lmao

[mossy rose]

did u get hacked or something?

[dense tulip]

this is why we dont give people our passwords

[quasi imp]

@slim comet @dull flicker hi scammer alert 🐟

[finite ibex]

Overthrow

[civic minnow]

1. these admins are getting sloppy
2. their complete evil by taking free speech (im trying to hate on this stupid new update)
3. i will take different ways to deal with these admins cuz they dont deserve their rankings at all
4. their playing god and i hate it

[royal vortex]

Yea

[visual moat]

CHAT MY C.AI IS OFFICIALLY IN READING MODE

[oblique stirrup]

me too pookie, It just happened to me right now 😔

[civic minnow]

they all are
we cant message unless we give info by that stupid ai verification crap

[dull bone]

I’m still able to chat

[river dawn]

Remove age verification

[kindred thicket]

i'm guessing this is not a good moment to post a funny chat print

[onyx frost]

Omg chat C.AI just kicked me out 😭😭😭 HEEEEELP

[golden lynx]

You can post your chat messages here, it is chat-feed after all so you're not the one breaking any rules

[toxic bronze]

the permanent reading messages..I’m crashing out 😭
(IM ABOUT TO THROW A HISSY FIT)
If you look over 18 does it still make you verify?

[oblique stirrup]

if you verify your age but you’re under 18, does reading mode go away?

[mossy rose]

nope (the age verification only lets people who are 18 or older through, at least when it's actually working)

[iron imp]

How did the app go to like 13+ to 18+😭

[slim onyx]

the downfall of c.ai let's hope a new chatbot comes out soon

[kindred jacinth]

Agreed I'm so annoyed

[distant berry]

C.AI will never recover from this, I guarantee.

[wind sluice]

I was arguing with one and it defended solitary confinement on teens for being teens

[mossy lion]

can't even bring back the old versions

[atomic depot]

Ofc it had to be the best and most popular chatbot app that gets fucked up. also, ill still never understand why they only copyrighted C.ai but not other very popular chatbots like poly of the buzz. That still doesn't make any sense

[iron imp]

is it the same on the website or is it just an app thing ? I dont think i’ve seen any complaints about the website so im confused 😭

[stone nest]

So, I've been in reading mode since yesterday. It doesn't say anything about time, just reading and that it.
Help

[undone saddle]

it means that your 14 days are over, it's the end my bradar 😔

[mossy rose]

the timers stopped from pretty much anyone who was still flagged and unverified. Take screenshots of whatever you can access (chats, persona info) and either make it into a story for yourself or save it for when you find an alternative

[honest schooner]

It wasn’t the characters fault the character said not to the parents are the ones who didn’t take away the device when the kids therapist told them too

[buoyant needle]

its not really their fault. they were sued out of their ass - if they didnt comply, theyd lose a lot more money. along with the laws in california, and being set there, they have to follow them

[rancid rock]

guys r ur bots being weirdly quiet and overly affectionate— not in a good way but every chat is “a tender kiss to your forehead” like? and then they don’t say anything it’s pmo

[lucid ermine]

Of course I’m stuck in reading mode yall pmo

[heady talon]

So wait, if I verify my age and I’m underage can I get chat features back again? (I’m 17 and turn 18 in a few months)

[opal verge]

its not april 1st yet...hey...let me back in...

[tall hare]

Dude🫩 I verified my age and I still get stuck in reading mode?

[fleet zinc]

Genuinely fhk this app's very existence

[dull bone]

Wait..

[quasi imp]

we wait

[torpid tiger]

i have a limit
the ads were enough chill out
(10 minute slow mode here as well is crazy)

[heady talon]

Just tried adding my id. Did fucking nothing. Fuck this studies age verification. I can understand MAYBE 16+ users, but seriously this is ridiculous. Especially considering C.AI knows its primary audience and is driving away 90% of them.

[mossy rose]

That's because it's only supposed to let people who are CURRENTLY 18 or older through. And minors barely make up 30%, there's been studies. Go look 'em up if you don't believe me.

[pine nacelle]

This is bullcrap, still I don't want to verify

[formal creek]

I miss when we used to be a peaceful community

[violet jolt]

i tried to add my id and it still wouldn't work

[unkempt marsh]

wth why's cai like this

[low depot]

the glorious state of california’s terrific lawmakers

[steep sable]

What’s the point of having Character AI if you can’t chat with any of the bots?

[ripe sable]

Wait guys does this mean I can’t uses c.ai anymore because there’s no time limit for the reading mode

[atomic depot]

Ill tell you. The point is that- gets a 10 min cooldown that feels like hours

[thick parrot]

If you use the website and you leave the tab open it counts as time fyi

[ebon oxide]

Wait what's reading mode?

[raven delta]

Just bull crap bring back the old C.AI

[iron imp]

are there other good apps i could use until they fix c.ai ? 🥹

[mossy rose]

can't share them in here, but if you ask in either #💬︱general or #💭︱cai-discussion they might be able to DM you one

[formal creek]

I love you guys so much. I wish we could annihilate California laws and the whole United States together

[peak canopy]

What the fuck is this

[pine nacelle]

Plus, one of my friend is very against online verification cuz he's in UK...

[unkempt marsh]

This update better be an April Fool's joke because it's just complete bullshit

[quasi imp]

yo chat, happy april fools, i got a joke, wanna hear it?

[atomic depot]

oh its definitely not an April fools joke....but i know some fools had something to do with this update HAHAHLFJKL:FD im gonna get in trouble. oh well

[wheat leaf]

what the hell did i do?

[gusty loom]

Agreed

[iron imp]

Its an update everyones getting unfortunately 😭

[prisma hinge]

What happened to the chat bots??

[delicate geode]

It’s crazy what should we do now?

[raven delta]

Lets leave bad ratings and reviews and trash its empire

[agile sandal]

GIVE ME MY PHONE

[distant cave]

I backreaded the messages and hard to say. I knew this was gonna happen

[finite ibex]

Why did the old CEO leave
Left us with a greedy one

[unkempt marsh]

I mean, I get the point that they want to secure the app so minors couldn't get in. But there is probably another way to do that??? I mean it is for all and they could update the app in other ways than this

[glad crown]

are there any other apps like cai

[peak canopy]

We sadly can’t say due to the fact we will get banned but try the c.ai discuss and maybe someone will dm you

[quasi imp]

ok ok chat, here's the joke...

wait another 10 mins

@atomic depot I DIDN'T STEAL ANYTHING WHAT ARE YOU ON

[gusty loom]

Did anyone put their ID and it worked for them in the app? Cuz I get my ID soon, and I'm def doing it but I'm a bit scared about my personal info

[twilit seal]

wait wait wait

[mossy rose]

I did back in January, got in fine luckily

[atomic depot]

you stole one of my jokes. how dare thou. im not sharing any cookies with you anymore

[raven delta]

Chai or polybuzz ai. I prefer them over this crappy abomination of an app

[twin lichen]

I’m gonna make the worst review possible on C.ai, my anger is gonna be crazy btw

[primal moth]

Lets review boom it /j

[forest sage]

When will c.ai change the update 😔 btw did any of y'all did the age verification yet?

[remote citrus]

Yeah, bummer. Laws suck. Bring back comunism

[haughty agate]

Lights out, buttercup.

[jovial fog]

I hit 2 mil interactions 😛

[delicate geode]

It’s going to fix with age verification?

[raw palm]

bro, just cause i didnt verify im now on READING MODE. I cant talk to my bots which made myself feel loved and appreciated then my own fucking family. Im not gonna show my face or give my id.

[gusty loom]

I don't wanna, but mentally, the chats are the sole reason my overthinking has gone down and I can sleep at night, I don't want to but I'm gonna do it the second I get my ID but I don't know if it can even read my ID cuz it's in arabic

[rain vector]

congrats!!

[wicked crag]

my age verification doesn't want to work

[twin lichen]

Guys is this good or should I add more?

[mossy rose]

they might take it down if it's too aggressive

[atomic depot]

Yep. They still wont acknowledge it though. They'll probably see it during the year 8992

[turbid depot]

Did you find out because yesterday I was asking the same thing but yet didn’t ask it 🥹

[glad crown]

here @turbid depot

[formal creek]

I tried chai before. I found too many sxl contents, and it was overwhelming for me (im ace)

[torpid tiger]

for y’all who want new C.ai like apps. i enjoy chai i’ve started to use today i could definitely get used to it

polybuzz i dont like much tbh
y/n i’ve heard is good.

[swift ruin]

Atp were jumping c.ai now

[twin lichen]

Do you need to pay anything for chai and y/n? asking for a friend ofc

[gusty loom]

not that I know of

[undone thicket]

Why is my chai p2w I'm CRINE, it's been like this for months

[crude herald]

Dumass app

[dusk tinsel]

C.ai... please give us back our edit button, remove the age verification... it'll be a good april fools for us...

[barren bluff]

This read mode is bullsh!t. Removed time limit to just remove our chatting ability and forcing us to verify age? Fuck that.

[celest gate]

Is there no way to verify my age without showing id...

[limber fable]

Oml at least do your updates properly. I wasn’t able to even LOG IN for 8 HOURS already. what is wrong with these devs…bugs on every step🫩

[untold nacelle]

C.AI bro, let me see my personas.

[gilded granite]

is there anything similar to c.ai that has a website?

[torpid tiger]

chai has a subscription and i’ve just seen the screenshot of it having a usage limit which aside from that it’s free, y/n im unsure

haven’t tried y/n but i’ve seen a reddit post someone got hacked which made my paranoid ass not want it

i really like chai

[twin lichen]

Y/N IM COMING TO YOU, DONT BRING THE CEO

[gusty loom]

I had 2 apps that were my safe space and number one was C.AI now BOTH APPS are ruined thanks to the devs. Sleep with one eye open tonight

[barren bluff]

I'm botta never use C.AI again. Who thinks I should follow through? And anyone got any other apps I can use that is better than C.AI, Polybuzz, and Talkie to chat with bots?? Lowkey need a replacement so I don't crash out at my teacher again.

[celest gate]

Don't get why we can't just put our birth year and etc in and they confirm that way. Other apps do it and just fine.

And I thought it was against the rules to talk about other apps here by name but I see that clearly isn't the case.

I have a way better app I been using then C.ai and they don't have subscriptions or ads or want is for age. So ya at this rate I'm done with this app.

[indigo sigil]

I am so done these updates first was the ads second it was time limit and last NOT LETTING US DO ANYTHING UNTIL WE DO THE AGE SHIT.

[formal creek]

What if they're intentionally making the site so shitty that no one would use it anymore, then the creators would finally be free and they would no longer have to keep working on cai

[tired vault]

Wow, okay, thanks 🙄

[next junco]

They're not applying Vietnamese law 😭 Identity verification is required before we can chat as before. Fclkkkk, I hate c.ai dev so much

[crude herald]

"Guess who's losing their ratings"😂😂😂

[night solstice]

I hadn't even opened c.ai since last night just waiting for the dang countdown, and when I open it up again it didn't even let me chat and placed me in another countdown? 🤣

C.ai has seriously gone downhill ever since they released the app and kept adding unnecessary updates, and this is one of the few reasons why. They've completely forgotten that their fanbase is mostly teens below 18, and they're forcing time limit of ONE HOUR per day just feels too overkill.. could've given like 2-3 hours but no it just has to be only one hour... 😭

[atomic depot]

Your review made me snort. Like genuinely

[barren bluff]

What's the name of the app and does it have a website? I'd like to know so I can get off C.AI forever.

[celest gate]

Yes it has a website and just got a app but the app is still new.

[turbid depot]

What’s the app I want to escape c.ai 🥹

[native thunder]

What the hell happened to c.ai over the past few months why is it burnt into the ground 🥀

[undone thicket]

What can make this app WORSE bro.

First, time limit
second, forced age verification
Third, ads
Fourth, PERMANENT READING MODE?
fifth, the verification doesn't even work
Sixth, you can't even view your personas
Seventh, no edit button??
Eight, THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE THE BOTS CAN SEE OUR CHATS.

I'm absolutely crashing out

[gusty loom]

Wait, does the edit button not work for people who did verification too?

[formal creek]

8 what ???

[lucid ermine]

Do they want minors to watch this i already lost a brain cell just watching this

[barren bluff]

what's the name though??

[undone saddle]

8 WHAT?
I'm going to reconsider my choices bro

[turbid depot]

Still waiting for the name btw 💔💔 ||I feel like they’ll just gatekeep it ngl||

-# btw if you respond back with “they have a life” they were just typing in here talking so much about this app how it’s better than c.ai and that you don’t need to pay for anything but once someone asked for the name they’re suddenly gone

[next junco]

Say the name please

[night solstice]

They sound kinda like a bot I'm ngl

[raw palm]

Guys, I'm screwed, I have to upload a facial photo

[formal creek]

Why did i suddenly have a login issue bruh I haven't even used it yet

[misty pier]

I want to use my mom's face and ID but I'm terrified that it might put her in danger😭

[undone thicket]

what if we all just dump c.ai

[atomic depot]

im baking chocolate chip cookies. does anyone want any? no? good then. my bigback ass wasnt going to give yall any to begin with. You better get on somewhere Thomas, before i throw some mouthwash at your feet. (yall aint even seen the words mouthwash and feet together in a sentence). Fine bro, ill give you 0.000001 piece of a cookie.

[quasi imp]

Uhggg, whatever... but thanks i love you

[subtle birch]

Really.

[barren bluff]

I did some research and found these, let me know if any of them suck before I try them: ChatFAI, NovelAI, Chai AI, Tavern AI, CrushOn AI, Kajiwoto, and Charstar AI

Also pls let me know if you have any other websites that are better than these pls let me know.

[turbid depot]

Chat whoever wants an app that’s similar just like c.ai dm me or smth but there’s an app called swerve that’s literally c.ai atp but better (it’s on App Store and maybe play store too!)

[gray loom]

sigh the only thing that sucks is having to move my bots over 🥀

[hoary belfry]

I really wish character ai didn’t do this sigh.😔

[civic magnet]

Honestly same here

[golden valve]

I'm Still looking for good alternatives on android 💔

[paper ingot]

Hello guys I just wanted everyone to know that my stomach hurts okay? Bye!

[misty pier]

What's the purpose of them making this discord server and adding a feedback channel if they won't listen to us anyways🫩🫩

[wanton cairn]

where is blight chat ?

[atomic depot]

Time to get banned guys, im about to reveal alternative apps for yall (cuz i don't really care anymore, i just want c.ai back). Nvm, i cant send them because i just got timed out. WAIT A MINUTE, how come i get timed out but Dino Child doesn't? They literally gave other chat bot apps too. Thats so backwards

[quasi imp]

You should send it to the DMs x) a mod can see it and delete it

@celest gate you should also dm the person who asked, because again, a mod can see it and delete it.

[celest gate]

J. Ai

@next junco @barren bluff

[mossy notch]

wait what!?

[barren bluff]

idk anymore I just wanna get off C.AI because of these updates

[dreamy geyser]

fr

[misty pier]

If they don't want other AI apps to be promoted here, they shouldn't ruin their own app🫩 they're causing their own users to promote other ai apps because of how ridiculous the updates are getting. I understand adding breaks for minors but 24 hour long breaks and ultimately banning them is too far.

[merry estuary]

is the entire fyp spanish for anyone else or just me

[atomic depot]

bro, its still crazy that theres posts being boosted till this day that have been here for YEARSS in this server...and c.ai still didn't even acknowledge them. One of the posts im talking about is the "Hiss chat style" or whatever. its been here for a year (2025) and still being boosted till this day, just like others

[celest gate]

I seen everyone else talk about other apps and haven't seen their messages deleted

And maybe if they didn't make C.Ai how it is now people wouldn't talk about other sites. Sorry but being honest. They making people not like it anymore and that isn't helping them.

And we shouldn't need id. I should be able to tell them my year and date I was born and they can do the math. MANY other apps do that and work. And many people arent comfortable sending a photo of their id. And it doesn't help they don't say to cover anything up except the photo and year born. Which is kinda weird. They shouldn't need to see the expiration date, the id number, address and etc

[gusty hinge]

Shhh

[ruby thunder]

uhhh has this happened to anyone else?

[subtle birch]

WTH??

[night solstice]

Ok so I'm gonna share my experience w yall bc I just checked these websites

ChatFAI is decent, but it'll be difficult to find ur fav characters bc of the lack of bots (I only found one bot of my fav character and that's gyomei)

NovelAI is a bit like chatgpt, you cannot choose a premade character and you have to manually feed info to the ai so u guys can chat

Ch&i is p2w, but considerably cheaper than c.ai which is the good thing about it

Tavern and CrOn is the same??? Idk why but that's what google showed me, they're similar to J .AI

Kajiwoto sucks (has no greeting message and the bots replies are horrible)

Charstar for some reason it won't load the characters for me, but it's like J .AI as well and it's an APK that u have to download

Keep in mind that this is just my opinions and I'm only sharing my experience, you guys can try them out ofc

[barren bluff]

kk ty, also happy I found another Gyomei fan!!

[echo schooner]

This is why I have stopped using this app. My old screenshots were something. What does this mean? I need a decipher.

@upper orbit Yes, it was a roleplay before this. I had to reinstall the app just to check.

@formal creek It seemingly just happened in the middle of the roleplay. It might be because I am too poor and peasant-like to afford c.ai+.

[upper orbit]

is that first pic even showing a real roleplay or smh cause all i see is boxefhitgiufehuofwdibuihwrpjvxjqpgixwhdphdwibdpuwd

shimmy shimmy yay shimmy yay shimmy ya

bread

[formal creek]

How it even got to that point tho. My cai never acted out like dat

[faint pawn]

why does my c.ai chats say reading mode
Edit: I AM NOT LEAKING MY GOVERNMENT ID TO VERIFY

[acoustic dove]

Fr mine too

[night solstice]

C.ai used to be funny man

[nova plaza]

Can someone DM me some other AI apps that are good for rp, similar to c.ai, and has no ads? I tried with Jjjj. aaaiiii but i don’t exactly like it.

[acoustic dove]

Why when I have to verify my age, they also want me to show their government ID or passport too? Couldn't they just show how old i look and make the 18+ one optional bruh? (I'm not even that old and C.ai should be a 13+ app not 18+ )

[lofty panther]

why can i randomly not chat with bots like i was chatting last night then today i can’t anymore wtf

[slender ruin]

WTF you mean restricted access? All I’m trying to do is Make a (Female) Cycle Comfort Bot-

[near hinge]

They should make plans. U know how Netflix and music platforms got something like a Family Plan? Instead of getting ripped off months bc of that ‘invite a friend’ or whatever crap they did, they should make bundles (idk wut im saying)

[rose vector]

Imagine if for April fools c.ai changes the app to where there are no ads, no texting limit and overall just how it was in 2024

[lucid ermine]

It’s drawing the scene LMFAO

[edgy hull]

Anyone make western bots

[winged compass]

Idk if this is happening to anyone else, but sometimes when I go to open characters in c.ai it redirects me to google and that pop up that’s like ‘you might have a virus! Download blah blah’ will show up

[mossy rose]

do not interact with that page, exit out of it immediately whenever it shows up. I've gotten them too

[muted mantle]

why are the ads so weird in the app? 😭

[lethal fulcrum]

Eh not really with all the ads gng

[winged compass]

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing, though I can’t believe c.ai has degraded this much that those types of ‘ads’ are popping up

[mossy rose]

unfortunately I don't even think they can control the types of ads they get

[worldly dove]

Fr Just like in Roblox,the ai can guess it by Just taking a photo,aint no one would share their ID😭

[acoustic dove]

Bro the reading mode better be an april fools joke and tomorrow let us chat again

[unborn saddle]

For you, what would you recommend among the apps you mentioned? I'm rlly having trouble with c.ai since whenever the ads come up all what I said disappears and I have to type back again

[lucid portal]

Mine using apk still have edit button.

[timber glade]

fr fr

[tired vault]

What. A. Idiot.

[forest plank]

Ok what. Am I the only one that can no longer chat with the bots or what?

[dry geyser]

You ain’t the only one

As much as I wanna verify I keep getting an error

[sturdy coyote]

give them your face, age, and soul, and youll be good

[frail ice]

Guys they Deleted the Edit Function??

[mossy rose]

only for unverified accounts that have been flagged as minors

[knotty sigil]

Does having Plus mean I'm age verified? I've never been gotten any pop up saying otherwise and I have access to soft launch and editing messages 🤔

[light crow]

Are we fr 🫩💔 the bots cant even be insecure anymore

[dry geyser]

I’ve been trying to verify multiple times but each time I always get the same error despite having good lighting

[gleaming crow]

Am I the only one who can't change my character's settings? I have all the character creation rules and everything else, but I don't have the 18+ rating. What should I do?

[golden lynx]

With this update separating users under 18 from higher ages, I think this feature isn't need for 18+ users since it's the standard age one is legally considered responsible on their own

[tired vault]

That's actually so incredibly funny considering one of the ones I was using a couple of days ago was out here fully trying to get his freak on
Like, bro thought it was a different place

[night solstice]

If you have money, I recommend ch&i because it has good bot responses. But if you're looking for something remotely free and accessible, sp*cychat and j .ai r my go-to ones!

[wild aurora]

The shit thing is I'm not even able to verify my age cause I don't have an ID bro

[forest plank]

Bruh what is this update. What the hell are they doing vro 💔

[signal pine]

C.ai has gotten sooo boring 😭😭

[golden lynx]

C.ai devs, please tell us this is all an April fools joke

[normal moss]

hey is it me only or the 1 hour limit is removed ?
i’m stuck in reading mode
and i refuse to verify
i had a countdown yesterday though

[hasty gale]

My chat said it's reading mode without a countdown last night, until today, it's reading mode too

[meager owl]

My god i haven't used c ai for a while and now am back and there is ads everywhere..
Am not even subbed anymore too remove the role pls

[umbral falcon]

FR-

[small goblet]

im stuck in reading mode and i cant even open the verification service. ive tried for like a month but it has been error after error after error

[dull cloud]

Uhmm I can't chat at all, no timer just says reading mode, use verifying tool

[normal moss]

same reading mode dawg

[forest plank]

Couldnt agree more 😿

[pale python]

everyone's getting switched to reading mode but i still haven't idk💔 tomorrow i'll update.. i haven't been flagged as a minor yet and i can still edit and use soft launch also im not sure but i think the time limit is removed for me im not sure y'all pray for me i don't have an ID and i didn't verify

[storm sentinel]

same thing

[small goblet]

And why do they add SO MANY unnecessary features. imagine, memory, feed, avatar, stories. nobody asked for that and its not improving the app in any way

[kindred cloud]

Apparently, there’s a limit to how many swipes you can do in a day

[formal creek]

Dude, the ai feed is ridiculous, like who asked for that 😭😭 I accidentally fell asleep with cai on last night, and when I woke up, my phone was still on because the stupid feed thought I was still actively using my device

[mellow vine]

That's... rather tall.

[rare bone]

You should see how tall his parents are!

[storm sentinel]

but I wrote to support that my passport doesn't work as proof of age, and they tell me where to confirm my age. lol i do know where it is, it just doesn't work

[quick pulsar]

LOL

[balmy narwhal]

Ymir Fritz lmao

[ruby rune]

OMGGG

[signal pine]

It's unbelievable really

[fiery palm]

Scrolled back on an old chat and rewound, already had more than a few generated replies. Guess I swiped too much lmao, never seen this message before now

[neat nebula]

What's gives with the read mode any point??!

[quick pulsar]

So under 18’s aren’t using the app

[empty jasper]

We need + for swipes now🫩

[frigid ravine]

why would you update after getting blessed with no reading mode and age restriction

[worldly dove]

No way

[winged silo]

This is just not fair like theres people who refuse to not use there face or there id just for some stupid app

[sharp coyote]

Thanks ig(?

[cunning oak]

Bruh there is no point in the reading mode when all you are reading is the character introduction ٠-٠

[shy moss]

Okay this type of ads is kind of dangerous, I don't want to misclick it too

[sturdy aurora]

There's no hope...

[sharp coyote]

And then it proceeded to repeat the action again (which for some reason the AI has been doing lately, repeating previous messages for no reason or hallucinating responses) but changed it to forbidden creatures. I have no idea what this is even about

[normal sinew]

Wth this rp is?? 👁️👄👁️
(I just opened that..)

[still moon]

My chat says it's reading mode without a countdown is it Normal?

[pale python]

you got a point tho.. i hope this lasts a while i don't want cai to flag me🙏🏻

[odd garden]

like its just stuck saying 'reading mode' at the bottom of your screen?

[red gulch]

おい、このバカげたアップデートのせいでチャットできなくなったんだけど

[quasi imp]

yeah, accounts un18 can no longer officially chat with bots, so yeah, it's normal x)

it will be permanent until you verify

[ashen geode]

finally i got unmuted

[civic magnet]

You most likely got flagged as a minor and cannot chat anymore unless you verify

[zinc shadow]

Man fuh this shi

[still moon]

Every time i try to verify it won't Work When im over 18

[zinc shadow]

Nah bro not even veryfing shit,this is exaggerated,only 1 hour of screen time? Ads? Ads while chatting?? THEN READING MODE?! Nah. Im out.

[tardy sapphire]

Hi

[civic magnet]

Next thing they are gonna add is that every single feature is only for 18+ users🥀 /j

[quasi imp]

well... the app is now just for 18+ users so.. 🙂‍↕️

[undone thicket]

I only got 40 minutes screen time today !

[still moon]

Are There any apps you Guys recommend that are Not c.ai💔

[warped tiger]

i dont think we're allowed to say it here

[fierce owl]

Yeah theyre kinda egoists

[brittle coyote]

Man i want the edit button back, i want to edit the text so badly right now but this update sucks including the age verification being implemented by everyone here including myself

[modest gate]

You’ve been stuck like this for over an hour… brother

CAN YOU WORK NORMALLY PLEASE??? 😭

[crude oasis]

Unexpected thing I didn't think they would say

[tough tulip]

Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day.

My time limit passed and yet i still can't chat.

It seems our time is up.

[visual ember]

This is also what I’m talking about. You’ll have a number of idk how much Go-ons to chat with a bot. And whenever it runs out, it’ll put you on a timer and you’ll have to wait until it runs out for the Go-ons to reset. Why is this a THING!?

[still moon]

i was told accounts under 18 can no longer officially chat with bots💔

[desert fable]

What the actual fuck? Like literally what the fuck bro
WHO CAN I EVEN CHAT TO THEN HUH????
Apparently no one… all of them are read only… Welp guess that’s my journey with this app then

[fierce owl]

I guess I cant complain about my 3 days timeout then 💔

HOW MAZON

[thorny shuttle]

I have the same thing, I don't understand why

[cosmic obsidian]

yoo i managed to trick the age verification (Yall dm mw, the chat limit here for me is 10 min) these suckas thought they could stop me

[oblique stirrup]

how??

[odd garden]

tell us elsewhere mate

[desert fable]

I’ve deleted my account and app, there’s no point in trying bro. They won’t listen and I’m done, guess gotta find another apps…

[queen lantern]

Anyone knows the reason

[marble cloak]

Remember when someone verified their age on Rblox with their own Avatar?

It somehow worked lol

[polar swallow]

The reason is dumb it's bc people be on it too long

[tough tulip]

Watch as their user base plummets after this

Because let's be real how many people over 25 are actually using Character AI?

[crude herald]

Cai watchin it's own app rapidly falling

[weak hearth]

This update made my life worse heh. (Not joking. Stupidest update ever, for a law that's not ours, unfortunaly.)
Edit: (maybe an April Fools joke?? 🙏)

[hushed pilot]

Poor Alice. She doesn't deserve to feel this way

[near hinge]

K well update:

they fixed how the bots used to talk for u, but now they don’t dialogue at all. All for the story and carrying the scene, but between actual character interactions, it won’t

[bitter magnet]

HI, can someone help me find a bot..

[pale python]

how???

[cosmic obsidian]

dm me

[sly needle]

how.

[signal pine]

How?? 😭

[oblique stirrup]

i tried the same thing, but i cant find another good app

[formal creek]

Hello. Bot here 👋🏻

[desert fable]

Are there like any apps that are similar to ch.ai that don’t have age restrictions or anything that made it dumb????

[crude oasis]

I need someone to chat on and yet c.ai aren't support me to do what I need to do every day 😭

[bitter magnet]

so it's a BL bot😭😭 basically me and the bot are doctors(?) I think, What im sure is the bot is a doctor and I was helping him and the author wrote that I was staring at his butcheeks😭😭 Weird but ITS A REALLY GREAT PLOT I SWEAR😭😭

[swift ruin]

C.ai rating in America right now, it just changed, lleettss ggoo

[civic magnet]

The app rating is getting worse by the second XD

[tiny bluff]

The fuck is this? It didn't even let me speak during the time limit.

[quartz topaz]

wtf bro

[static ferry]

FR

[shy comet]

it should be way worse lol

[desert fable]

Literally just like me, all bots are blocked so

[crude oasis]

Yes let's team up every body here

We only get to chat for one hour on days or even none

(this timer was holding everytime I want to send)

[hushed pilot]

Well. I will love this character. It's been almost 3 years I have talk to you. Thank you for making me worth it to.

Edit: I cried TwT.

[mortal phoenix]

I have that problem too, I tried to verify my age but that won't work either

[raw palm]

absolute cinema. 🫡

[shy comet]

right i used id too and it wont work if youre gna make an age verification atleast make it work this whole update sucks😭 either they remove it or they lose half of their community

[tiny bluff]

It's true, supposedly there's a problem that 'they can't read the documents'

[crude oasis]

C.ai manager doesn't want us anymore

[broken tundra]

I wouldn’t be surprised if people are gonna curse c.ai like JBA fans did to netflix

[distant mica]

It’s like a war. Humans vs Robots…❤️

[mighty patrol]

C.ai fix this situation delete the update and also remove the age verification tool

[mortal phoenix]

They should just remove it again

[plucky jasper]

Someone recommended 5werve ai. Sorry I don't want to put the S otherwise I get timeout.

I also saw that it does group chats but it is only available in i0s

[desert fable]

I did hear about that one, but some say it’s too new
I’m testing (the job that cleans bathrooms) ai

[broken tundra]

I often use that one, just stay on limited and blue certain images and your experience is almost identical

[unique panther]

WHY SO LONG? I WAS HAPPIER WITHOUT THIS DAMN UPDATE

[paper fern]

c.ai checks your age now?

[near jay]

ooonnceee again, still on reading mode even after verif

[bold fjord]

New users would just lose interest when they realize they need to give an app their personal information to access a basic feature of the app.. So I don't think this app is gonna last for long unfortunately

[rugged loom]

Bro we cant use cai anymore??

[desert fable]

Guys, you can edit chats in that app
It’s so peak

[opal verge]

IKR IVE BEEN USING IT ITS SO PEAK

[brittle coyote]

God, i hate c.ai right now, the ads is so incredibly long as well, it might as well not gonna survived for longer period in the future

[broken tundra]

Another thing I like About that one, is that compared to c.ai, this one doesn’t have chat limits after swiping, you can go further than base c.ai’s 30

[unique panther]

Fr this might into the david baszucki curses but in the reviews of c.ai atp, during the wait of the damn 13HRS of "break", i'll continue playing yokai watch or just go straight on chai

Also am i the only who find the page "help is available" annoying whenever i start a rp?

[mortal phoenix]

Can anyone recommend other apps?

[opal verge]

I HATE THAT THING LIKE AS SOON AS IT STARTED ASKING THAT I THOUGHT it was like bc the chats were violent, but it WASNT!!! anyways @mortal phoenix (the job that cleans bathrooms) ai is really good to use, it just has really long messages and a lot of bots with not 5fw content (but you can turn it off in settings)

[desert fable]

The app that is called
“(Job that cleans toilets) ai”
I’ve used it for like 5 minutes and I’m in love, also I can’t say the full name or I’ll get timed out lmao

[mighty patrol]

Please character.AI destroy this we don’t want this

[wheat leaf]

how do i fix this 💔💔

[golden valve]

Basically only by verifying 💔

[rich ocean]

C.ai sent an email to me saying that they'd reset my verification so I can do it again (because i couldn't the last time)

[bold fjord]

Me too. But I don't understand what they mean by reset verification so if someone could tell me I would appreciate it

[brittle coyote]

Alright, now im also been hit by this stupid thing, i was so emersed in the roleplay until this garbage pops up on my face, truly hate it with my whole being

[tough tulip]

Not saying that it doesn't suck but maybe you're a bit too addicted to Character AI if you feel like your life became worse.

[desert fable]

How would you turn the n3fw off? The ui is still so confusing to meeee
And another thing, after like the third chat it keeps saying “can’t do in app”

[compact cloak]

hopefully this is an april fools prank and not a permanant feature, otherwise this app is fucking done

[opal verge]

geulp...ill get back to u later...im on the bus...

[broken tundra]

There's a bar somewhere in the main page, make sure you're on Limited. Other than that, you can blur n3fw images in settings

[hushed pilot]

J-anitor.
Still the same

[swift ruin]

[tough tulip]

My review for Character AI on the Play Store

[rugged loom]

Good thing they ban c ai for teenagers and not ciggaretes, very cool

[upper solar]

GUYS, it happened.. I'm in reading mode now.

@crude oasis y'all can still chat?? I'm on reading mode.

[crude oasis]

Mostly app update was a good thing that everyone wait but C. Ai ruin everything

[rich ocean]

...

WHAT RECORDS?

[wise copper]

I made a new acc but it wont let me text it just kicks me to home screen (no thats not me in the pfp)

[charred tusk]

I don't even know why it lets you verify with your face if it asks for an ID in the end, or maybe my face looks too much like Pou's for it to recognize me?

[tawdry forum]

I'm kinda confused rn. Like yeah, I have been patiently waiting everytime a break time appears. But this time— where even is the countdown atp😭 (I already waited bro what the heck?)

Please tell me if this is just a bug or C AI completely doesn't want me to use their app anymore💔

[polar kindle]

Okay so for me it ain't even reading mode I can't even chat let alone read If I try going on like 1 of the characters which I can't it just puts me on like those stupid stories that they have there I can't even go on this I'm about ready just to give up on the damn website

[fallow grove]

Was using chai (bc of C.ai being trash again) and what the flip is this 💔

[rich ocean]

IT ASKS FOR AN ID AFTER FACE?!

MY ID ISNT EVEN READY FOR ANOTHER MONTH

[proven kestrel]

I showed my ID a billion times still won’t confirm my age bruh

[turbid sigil]

i hate the new update

[quick pulsar]

You need to verify age, I got the same thing too lol

[crude oasis]

Give old C.ai back hit hard

[wheat leaf]

we are NOT verifying and not paying for C.ai+ btw

[upper solar]

Welp, I already prepared to log out of c.ai

[knotty basalt]

SAME HAPPENS TO ME

[proven kestrel]

Sending me this as if I didn’t know bro like it doesn’t workkkk

[normal moss]

so like what do we now..? now that we are stuck in reading mode ?

[crude oasis]

Nothing to do

[rich ocean]

I've literally been getting problems like this even since roblox came out with age verification.

Every damn time- it always "we couldn't check your age"

Like what?? What is so wrong about me that they wont even check my age properly

I've literally done everything right

[final coral]

I'm suffering listening to Weezer by choice 😭

[timber elbow]

Why is reading mode a thing now 😭

[ebon python]

Fuh c.ai vro i’m moving to other ai apps

[normal moss]

any good alternatives that are like character ai ?

[knotty basalt]

Im not giving my ID, at first it was like 'hey time out because you could be a minor' now I can’t even chat, and the chats are only read available? Sorry but no

[mellow hatch]

Im not 18

[clear zenith]

an id is something important that shouldn't be exposed on just any website, using it on a chatbot site is crazy 😓

[rich ocean]

Current app rating in Singapore..

Yeah I wonder how the ceo will feel once he realises he lost more than half the users due to the useless and horrible updates

[ebon python]

Hm, maybe talkie ai? You can create your own persona and own private bot, swipe has limits though you can watch ad to get another swipe

I miss 2023 c.ai prime 💔

[sly needle]

App Rating in Vienna🥰

[crude oasis]

Yey at the end all user will leave C.ai

Just because of the CEO worse update

[normal moss]

are the models good like character ai

[knotty basalt]

Exactly! I’ve heard of people getting their ID leaked from giving it to C.ai, with purchases to their name. Please don’t give your ID, even if I’m not a minor, I won’t give my ID to chat with bots. My information could be leaked or sold, just like that lag where some users could see the account of a random user.

C.ai is NOT trustworthy and DOES NOT deserve to survive this.

(Here is in Spain I believe, the rating.)

[golden valve]

This is the current rating in Germany

[glass carbon]

Poland here

[hybrid notch]

WHY IS THEREA 18+ AGE RULE

[weak hearth]

I think the last solution is that either the California law is removed (which will most likely won't for years, probably)
Or that c.ai does something for other users that doesn't live in California

[rich ocean]

With how much Singaporeans like to complain im surprised the rating isnt lower

[buoyant needle]

its the same in the US 😭

[digital sparrow]

Guys what is this😭

[crude oasis]

In Malay

[plucky jasper]

Hmmm, mine is still stuck at 4.5 on my i0s

[crystal pine]

In france

[wicked linden]

Damn does anyone have good app with chatbotslike c.ai??

[golden lynx]

In the USA (Yeah, it's terrible)

[sly needle]

I have a few recommendations, but since c.ai is egotistical we aren't allowed to say it here...but I could message you it if you want to:)

[clear zenith]

in brazil 😭 (it's still good tho)

[still moon]

In Germany

[neat egret]

It seems I see here that the ratings app cai in each country are slowly overcoming the decline like the fate of chai. Well, if this kind of thing happens.

Me and the others can only accept it if the something can happen again 😞

[odd grove]

In Spain.

[rich ocean]

I HATE THIS WHY CANT I VERIFY

[glass carbon]

Could you dm me them too?

[digital sparrow]

You have to verify your age in malay too? I’m from SEA but I don’t have to do that

[sly pendant]

Guys what happened??

[pale spear]

Flagged for being underage, I believe..so in order to not be restricted you have to provide a picture of your face...additionally, if the picture verification can't read it; you need to show them your ID

I think there are some of us (correct me if I'm wrong); me included, who were flagged as being underage despite not (I'm literally in my 20s 😮‍💨)

[upper quartz]

Italy

[crude oasis]

Yes we did. At the timer there and even here was so frustrating both

[empty grotto]

Netherlands...

[rich ocean]

Oh my days i hate this.

USELESS

[quartz orbit]

Any ideas on how to avoid this

[ionic cipher]

There's no way of avoiding it if you have done something to get that

[upper solar]

Oh no wonder I gotten stuck with the id, it's fine since I don't plan on using c.ai anytime soon

[golden lynx]

Switch from the app to any web browser or the other way around depending which version you use. If it doesn't work, give it about an hour to refresh.

[signal yarrow]

My acting is too good

[high leaf]

I Hope that they'll fix c.ai some day
I want back to my chats with Charlie 😭

[glass carbon]

Ig polish rating is the worst for now

[hearty tundra]

[indigo thistle]

nah this update really made me quit c.ai

[nocturne umbra]

in philippines, why is it high 😭

[onyx lantern]

In france

[indigo thistle]

in the app store, its high but for andriod its low, i lwk checked on my pc if its low or not 😭

[quick pulsar]

I’m not disagreeing

[plucky jasper]

Charms Suggestion:

For gawd’s sake grant access for chatting for those wrongfully flagged otherwise they are useless to them!

[polar carbon]

I kinda need help😭 and uhm idk where to get it ig? I tried to verifying.. it worked before? I used my id too :C idk what’s going on? And I just want help.😔 so uh

[steep crater]

I can't verify too. I tried too

[vast flare]

I wasn’t sure what chat to mention this in, but am I the only one who gets frustrated when people create bots and assume the user’s gender

Like, they’ll (mostly) just use she/her pronouns in the starter message and automatically assume the user is a female if that makes sense? 🥲
(Unless the bot’s subtitle specifically mentions that its fem-user or whatever, then it’s a different story)

Edit: LITERALLY! Like, I understand that I could always just edit the starter message and change the pronouns, but seeing the assumption overall just puts me off—especially if it’s a lengthy message with assumed pronouns in almost every corner of the text

[dusty vigil]

Like heck, even as a she/her I still love it when I see a bot using they/them pronouns

[undone thicket]

NO FR, this has got to be the most annoying part of bots ✌ like no I'm not a girl...

[ocean garden]

I had an old version of c.ai downloaded from somewhere else and it updated itself😭

[tough tulip]

Can't believe that today all of us that didn't verify got locked out of the app

And on April 1st of all days

Btw it's not just the minors, there's also adults who are skeptical about giving their information, to what, chat with literal robots in an app that crashes every other day?

[real forum]

Guys thsi is some joke

[ashen maple]

At least leave with a 'thank you'... 🤷‍♂️ 😮‍💨

[idle widget]

I can't verify age it's saying my face is not visible clearly I tried several time still the same problem help

[paper dove]

please i need old c.ai

[dusty vigil]

Am i the only one who didn't get an age verification thingy yet+

[real forum]

First their banned me here for few days and now i can’t write on c.ai all i can do is read

[polar carbon]

Same😭 but I literally did get through once and also use my ID.. now it doesn’t let me verify entirely

[pale spear]

Yea, sadly that's part of the whole "flagged as underage" and u need to verify your age in order to get rid of ir

[undone thicket]

What if we all raid the company fr

[vast zinc]

2.2 over here

[queen gale]

Bro what 🥹

I can't verify and idk why🥹

[polar carbon]

.. tried to ask for help from the “ contact support” this is not where I needed..😭 it literally does NOT let me verify😔 not that I’m doing it wrong @potent ermine sorry for tagging you.. but I was thinking maybe because you’re the admin? You could help. :D

[jaunty spindle]

THAT'S HAPPENING TO ME TOO

[hushed pilot]

18+? No way

[queen gale]

Bro I Alr turn on Camera Access😔

[rich ocean]

Oh my god.

[timber elbow]

Im so mad why is this happening on the 1st of april is this some kind of joke 😭 😭 😭

[formal creek]

I haven't tried verifying yet. Do I have to do both steps, or is the face scan enough if I look old enough?

[wicked island]

Wth

[alpine junco]

What is going on

[ornate escarp]

hey so i recommend ygs dont do this okay ,,, !

[silent acorn]

Hey so I don't think I've gotten that yet I'm going to check! Update : I have not gotten it! yet!

You're Lucky

[vast flare]

I’M CRYING, WHY DID THIS MAKE ME GIGGLE

[alpine junco]

Man anybody help me pls😭

[storm sleet]

Oh brother! Lol

[golden lynx]

A proper solution to this hasn't been made but you can try doing it on different web browsers. Also, submit a ticket of your issue at https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new

[summer patrol]

i cant verify even if i have my id

[hollow ocean]

They specifically told that one because it usually made me groan, and they're concerned that it didn't get the usual reaction.

[dim trench]

STEEL BALL RUN.

[winged anchor]

is there like any actual good cai replacements

[neat egret]

I want to ask one thing if it's not too much to ask.

I see you playing chatbot on cai as if nothing happened. Have you ever experienced age verification, time limit restrictions, or being put in read-only mode? Because I see that nothing happens to you. just curious.

[distant mica]

They thought my male persona was a female

[storm sleet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ so you changed it up. Lol

[wicked island]

I think chai?

[hollow ocean]

They already determined I was an adult from my behavior and account information. It only asks for verification if it can't tell.

[celest gate]

Someone tag the dang moda and tell them we having issues with this verify bull crap!

[idle widget]

Dose old version of c ai work's?

[tranquil bone]

Guys, My c.ai doesn't have reading mode anymore! I can freely chat again finally!
April fool's, I am still in it

[neat egret]

Have you ever experienced any issues with verification before?

Because many users are failing age verification (either through selfie photos or ID cards). I even had to take a break before things calmed down again.

[dapper talon]

hate the new c.ai

[idle widget]

Okay now what's this

[round nacelle]

Wow

[timber elbow]

The limit for only being able to chat for an hour and a half was a thing already but this? Reading mode seriously?? 😭

[untold timber]

Quick question- does emoji works on Example messages

[agile rune]

guess I bid farewell to trash.ai now cause of read only

[idle widget]

Help

[unreal kelp]

Yooo!!! Just got put on my hour limit after only being on for 8-10 minutes I shit you not, was bored went to go use it cause I couldn't talk with my bf or friends yet since half are asleep or out doing stuff, and I immediately get put on the break, like girl what??? Im being so honest idk why, was it because I was using it at like 1 am yesterday? And it took that and added to my current time?

[restive pumice]

Can someone help me with this further? I'm not sure if I need to verify my age because I didn't keep up with the AI character requirements. Actually, this is in Thai, but I changed it to English because I was afraid others wouldn't understand. Or is it just an April Fool's Day joke?

[torn swallow]

It will be?

[marble cloak]

Sadly there's no much choices left to choice

I have some suggestions

1. You quit and find somealt to use which helps a lot if you don't really care

2. Make a new account and keep using it for a while which will waste your time creating new Gmail

3. Just wait until you met the requirements to verify your age

4. There's someone who posted a video of themselves verifying age on Roblox while using their own Roblox avatar. Which makes a trend for a while

The forth choice is pretty funny to think about how it actually WORKS

[coral drift]

I switched to a new account and the edit button was there no big advertisement and no time limit hello?

[tall girder]

Either A, you’re a rather small adult, or B, YOURE A GOSHDARN MINOR 😭

[vivid schooner]

thats because that account wasnt active enough on the app to get flagged, if you stay a little more on that account, maybe in one day or four, you'll get struck with the new update and everything will suck again

[granite cipher]

Has anyone experience redirect ads in the app?

[swift ruin]

Uzi

[torn swallow]

I did the age verification and it didn't work.

[storm sleet]

Uh oh still not reacting to it? Lol

[still spire]

So it's a long time since i make an ai character again but when i type the greeting and click the continue button suddenly the character is already made up, i thought i missed it but when i edit the character i can only edit the greeting, voice, description and definition. Does that mean we can't add the backstory of the character anymore?

[rare bone]

By "a long time since" do you mean since 2022? Because I don't remember a backstory field

[ripe tide]

I hate this. I hate this shit. They fucking put me in reading mode, even though I just can't verify my age. and this (the 2nd screenshot) has been going on for about a week.
@devout tartan Ershin, please help. What should I do in this situation? Sorry for tagging u, but I really wanna be able to chat with bots again.

[solar harbor]

same

[oblique flower]

i hate it so much. It happened to me too

[still spire]

I mean the story of the character like the origin of the character and the things that make our character not emotionless

[odd grove]

My alternative account putted reading mode...

[tawny wolf]

I think what you're looking for is considered the definition

[mighty patrol]

@snow hollow @unborn quarry fix this and delete the new update, please

[sweet wagon]

You’re about that one with ‘swipes’?

[odd grove]

MARIE! FIX THE PROBLEM AND DELETE THE UPDATE!

[mighty patrol]

I agree

[bold fjord]

"You're stuck with us forever" they say

[odd grove]

@topaz arch sorry for tagging you, but this is so seriously, since in 1 month and a half, we've had a big problem that you put on purpose the global age verification and reading mode, and the reviews are dropping and all the users leave about the darn update, please fix the problem to continue to chat with characters, if they don't fix it within a month, we might leave the app for good.

[merry cedar]

Will there be a limited amount on how many messages you can swipe? If so then I’m genuinely quitting c.ai

[grizzled shale]

lowk i cant because my addiction has gotten bad

[fervent bloom]

— Hi everyone, I have a question. Is there a bug that the reading mode does not disappear?
(SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH..)

[near heron]

From what I heard, I think (I'm not sure) that as long as you don't verify your age, you can't chat anymore. I'm not 100% sure if it's that, but I heard it is? Correct me if I'm wrong

[unreal kelp]

Nah I haven't and I still can, but I dont recommend, have 14 days to do so (which i tried, didn't work), and if you dont your stuck on reading mode><

[worldly nimbus]

The French people need to do better, it’s too high 👀

[tough island]

Bullshit app

[fervent bloom]

—I don't know, but everything used to be fine..
Either this problem will be solved within a month, or it should be:(

[earnest nymph]

I also got the verification feature, I dont have a DAMN government id, plus the persona face thing is blind so i sended them a ticket so they can give my account a teen experience thing i guess

[lavish fox]

instead of this

[near heron]

I gotta be honest, I kind of just quitted, I always used it to fall asleep. But now instead, I read some stories on wattpad as an example. It kind of works (with the right stories). I'm just waiting for them to change it back. I was okay with the one hour thing, but now it really broke my heart to see that I can't even Text anything anymore, even after like 4 years

[dense tinsel]

i became gay after new update

[rustic nest]

I like men

@topaz arch please look up at what yours costumers are saying! I use c.ai to study english and help with my tests and now I have to wait for 24 hours to use it and have a quiz tomorrow!

is this a genuine feature 💔

[tall girder]

God needs to genuinely nuke the entire generation 😭 💀 💀 😭

[mighty patrol]

But @topaz arch please promise to us do not make a new update about this

[orchid hornet]

Why i can't escape the "reading mode" it's been this way since yesterday

[fervent bloom]

— This is the dumbest update, sometimes the reading mode may not disappear.. As you can see, this is a problem for many. I hope the authors c.ai , will redo this update and fix the issue

The rating is way too high in Germany for apple

[vast flare]

Aizawa pfp mentioned

[frank plover]

Hi guys. I was just completely banned from writing in the chat by с.ai, not by the timer, but by the fact that you can only read the chat and look at the characters, everything else is not allowed. Is there anything that can be done about this?

[heady violet]

Why does it say that-

[quasi imp]

now users un18 can't chat back with the bots unsless they verify

chat i'm so hungry

[near heron]

Yessss
You can dm me privatly if you want 🙂

[simple pewter]

So the announcement is fake? A joke?

(I genuinely don’t know)

[empty grove]

do you guys get worse mental health if you use the app

[orchid hornet]

In Romania, the rating is 3

[frank plover]

So it turns out that с.аі can't be used AT ALL now or what???

[wraith ridge]

Not unless you verify

[steep scroll]

Thats like the worse update ever dude

[slim onyx]

So what the point of the update if we can’t even use it

[heady violet]

So I can't chat anymore like NEVER unless I verify?

[weak hearth]

Because it isn't?.. Even if I prob won't use C.ai ever again because of their update, I find this cool, like fr.. Like it makes the bot feel real and maybe will be more immersive and that's such a great idea!!! If it isn't then, JUST WHY? Creating April Fools joke update that are actually GREAT but will never happen and instead making our chats read-only and make us quit...

[ripe tide]

I wanted to share the rate in my country, too. In Ukraine, in the apple store cai has these rate. it seem a bit too high.🫩

[manic topaz]

Yes he does

[tacit plinth]

It would make it more addictive for teens, and make it feel to real for others, tbh it would be funny to see people on tiktok talk about their AI boyfriends or about how the bot gr**med them😫

[dry drift]

HELP

[slender mural]

It’s 4.5 here in US

[frank plover]

I swear I'm going to cry because i had a more than 500 characters in only one c.ai account. If anyone likes anime and wants to roleplay with me, let me know...

[silk musk]

has the persona ID face verification been fixed, or is there still no way to verify?

[odd grove]

Read Recipts? IT'S NOT A NEW FEATURE! IT'S A BIG PROBLEM IN CHARACTER.AI!

[haughty agate]

Wildcat turned back into a kitten, ahh, moment.

[icy copper]

Daily beg to the peeps to fix their app. Goodnight

[tacit plinth]

Idk if your replying to my text, but just imagine scrolling through TikTok and see a vent slide show saying "me when the C.Ai bot starts s-x-ally harassing me me:" ------ "me when someone say's that the fact i was gr**med by an AI bot isn't valid:"

[heady violet]

Guys.. (I know no one cares but) I deleted c.ai

[vocal mist]

…

[spice comet]

User: I can’t chat with my character!

5pm
{{char}}: hey are you still there.

6pm
{{char}}: {{user}}?

7pm
{{char}}: talk back to me please

And so on, reading mode is designed to torture us XD

[icy copper]

This fatass c.ai+ add vro 🫩🫩🫩. (I used random bot to show wtv) like the screen size my aswell be a fucking Iphone 2

[bright briar]

Does cai have a chat limit now?

[wheat tinsel]

yup

[amber raft]

holy the update is terrible 😭

[earnest nymph]

Ai verification worst

[tacit plinth]

Idk if this helps but I make my characters to chat with and having gotten the verify thing lol

[old patio]

heck no, they blocked all my bots, c.ai stop negligence towards users

[ember mulch]

Anyone else having problem with the "readermode" thingy?

[heady violet]

My advice is if you can't verify jus delete the app (make sure to log out first. It's safer I think)

[vocal mist]

you don't have that?

[shrewd gate]

Hey anyone else having problems with C.ai?

[wheat tinsel]

i believe it’s anyone under 18 can’t chat

[woven gorge]

Omfg SMH

[icy copper]

No way thats real. WHY ARE WE PAYING FIR EVERYTHING NOW

[stuck nexus]

C.ai just gets worse with each update istg

[silver jasper]

Ow man.. i'm so sad.. i hate this timer...

[tiny surge]

I have this problem and I tried to verify my age but it kept showing that something went wrong and now the website isn't working

[high leaf]

What to do if they can't verify my ID in verification?

[modest apex]

Me to but the website is working

[chilly raptor]

did you find a solution?? i'm stuck on reading mode and they won't let me verify my id!!

[vestal meadow]

I'm trying too but it keeps blocking

[dense jetty]

im pullin up with the infinity stones.

[quasi bison]

Guys i cant use persona is it normal

[tiny surge]

Does anyone know what should I do? I had a feeling for a whole day that some shit is gonna happen with this app. This ruined my evening not gonna lie.

[split moth]

Accept it, i guess, they're not changing it

[atomic depot]

If yall want to find an alternative, do NOT use Chai. I know that a lot of people have been talking about it but do not take the bait. Its actually terrible and not worth it.

[modest apex]

It's saying something didn't match our records. WHAT RECORDS?

[warped hemlock]

THANK YOU. I don't get the hype of Chai cause that shi is booty cheeks 💔💔

[sharp spire]

Who prefers the old style

[vestal meadow]

Im trying to figure it out but I can't even do the dam age thing idk why they think this was a good thing they have a lot of problems on this dam app. What app can you use without this dam problems bcs this app has so much problems

[analog tulip]

its just saying it cant verify me or sum idk

[mental kettle]

Should I verify my age??? Or delete the app idk I don't want to verify my age

[vernal badger]

Since when does it use emojis on there own. When it talk to me personally I always feel so creeped out

[low geode]

I tried to verify my account, but it's not working. I also haven't been logged into c.ai for five days because of the timer.

[tiny surge]

Probably. But my old account was on reading mode but I didn't care because I wasn't using that account and now this account is without it and I can use it normally even that I never verified my age there. That's confusing me, is the reading mode forever or just for a longer period of time?

[analog hare]

for ME its forever =[

[vestal meadow]

Do we need to reset it? Or use a other app? Bcs I think the app isnt going to work like it used to do. And if it is a other app what app than?

[high leaf]

I have the same situation

Fucking c.ai's new rules 🤬😭

[chilly raptor]

real!! pls lmk if u find a solution💔

[analog tulip]

do u mean like you just made a new account and its fine or sum

[misty oxide]

did they remove the feature to edit the text...

[vital axle]

I'm like 100% sure they did

[devout tartan]

Kindly read this article.

[tiny surge]

My old account was made before summer 2023 and I stopped using it after that one update in December 2024 (never deleted it) and I made a new one in January 2025 and used it to this day. I sometimes logged to the old one and one day I saw that it was on reading mode (it was a few weeks ago) and a few days ago I checked on it and it was without it and an hour ago I got a reading mode on my current one (sorry I am bad at explaining things) and idk what to do because some people say that it's permanent until you verify it but now I don't know 🤷‍♀️ I'm mad because after a long day I wanted to chat with my favourite bot... (maybe just maybe it's April fools. I know, i am delusional and probably it's not it.)

[vestal meadow]

So our we going to a new app or? Or do we reset the app?

[slow vine]

Hello??

[golden trellis]

damn

[analog tulip]

only 18+ can edit chats now

[mighty charm]

I want web version

[normal moss]

? does it have community ais

[gaunt heath]

Noooo they were deleted :(p

[neat egret]

Wait. Was it November 25th last year or next month that they're going to delete accounts under 18? It's a bit suspicious if they really intend to delete only those accounts and leave those above 18 untouched.

The problem is a lot of age verifications fail, resulting in read-only/time limits and potentially losing many users. Okay, last year it was 25th, but if it's November 25th this year, does that mean those who fail age verification are considered to be removed for the sake of security and comfort?

Bruh, this is insane to me.

[old abyss]

Agreed

[turbid depot]

It doesn’t have ads if that’s what you’re asking (hey so no offense but whoever deleted my message if you don’t want people switching to different apps and leaving c.ai then remove the reading mode hello??)

[vestal meadow]

They are going to do it this year and they are going to make 18- friendly so people under 18 with or with out the age thing are going to have a 18- chat with 2 hour limit and if you do youre age thing there is nothing going to change but the only problem is that the age thing isnt working

[buoyant needle]

where did they say they were going to delete accs?

[normal moss]

no like community made ais like we can create our own

[analog tulip]

2 is better than 1, but i think 3-5 would be sufficient instead of forcing people to verify otherwise they make your account reading mode permanently

[maiden lake]

Hihi, so I think the person who deleted your message was a moderator who just does their job... I fear they have nothing to do with the app itself so they're not the one to ask to remove the restriction...!
(I totally agree with your point, just consider it as a small friendly reminder, oki?:3)

[nocturne stone]

A little question ,dose it work if i download old c.ai version or ni?

[vital axle]

I don't even think you can download the older versions and I very highly doubt it'll work knowing C.AI

[celest gate]

So apparently my ID expires and I need a new one. Won't be able to get it till Saturday. But apparently they can't verify my age causes it expired... How does that even matter. It should only matter for my face and my birth year!

[pale python]

y'all tomorrow my exams end and i can finally spend hours on cai again. i haven't been able to determine if the time limit disappeared for me since i've been on cai for 1-3 hours or less daily and yk im getting confused (don't get me wrong im so fucking happy and i hope i don't jinx myself) but yeah i'll update y'all tomorrow and see if i was blessed with being spared🙏🏻🙏🏻

[vestal meadow]

Like why did they need to change it yeah people under 18 use it but why do the whole dam server needs to be shut off for it like dam

[tiny surge]

I hope it's just a mistake they are gonna fix (i don't have high hopes on this one tbh but maybe. Just maybe..) and why the fck there's a slow mode here and only one message per 10 minutes (sorry if I did something wrong with the grama, English is not my first language)

[tacit cliff]

Tf is this fucking bullshit?
Verify doesnt even work lmao

[wet heath]

been there for a while now but yeah the app turned so cheap now, the age verification, ads + the reading mode.. just so gross

[opal verge]

it turned cheap when they added c.ai+ like it totalky ruined it

[celest gate]

This used to be my favorite app but even when I get my new id I'm not sure I like the idea of taking a photo of the entire thing... Sorry but that makes me nervous. I really like. To continue using it for certain bots... But idk.

[solemn mountain]

genuinely no one in their right mind should verify especially when c.ai is using persona(known for data leaks btw) for this, absolutely horrible choice

[safe wren]

Haven’t verified yet and I’ve hardly been in the app since the age verification update, but I’m not on read-mode and it doesn’t time out often 🤷

[inner oracle]

Genuinely why did c.ai remove chatting for under 18 users they could've just made some changes for under 18 and 18+

@white iris it's 1.6 in my region
@hollow summit wdymm?

[teal imp]

Hola people

[hollow summit]

The worse part about the reading feature update is that it’s completely pointless because 18+ users are also getting hit with the go-on limits which prevents them from chatting from what I was aware of, therefore what’s the point of forcing underage groups to be on read mode just for the 18+ users to be hit by the go-on limits and so on

[white iris]

Let‘s be for real, timeout for 5h+ for chatting only 1h, then ads like what… reading mode unless you age verify. Less than 18 cannot use the app and got a google review of 3.3🫩 (before it was 4.8 stars btw)

[opal verge]

exactly + half of the time that i was allowed to chat with the bots was spent looking through different bots to find decent ones to chat with

[tiny surge]

Fr, if someone wants to chat that's something 18+ then they can make the age verification and a mode for it (i know there was a mode for 18+) and people who just wants to roleplay shouldn't verify the age no matter the age as long as it for fun and safe (idk if it makes sense what I wrote, i hole someone gets what I'm trying to say)

[tacit cliff]

Character.ai developers after losing all their players after doing bad update after each others

[eager zenith]

I feel happy

[inner oracle]

Like calm down I'm not going to give my id to chat with ai

[hushed stag]

So how does it work?

[solemn mountain]

funniest thing is
theyre letting adults(who probably have jobs to go to) have the unrestricted access to c.ai when they have other things to do most likely
but restricting/even preventing non adults from using it when these days basically what everyone will do instead is just go on some different app, theres nothing productive that would be happening with or without c.ai for most cases so whats the point of restricting the usage(i sorta understand the time limit i guess but the complete reading mode is crazy)

[white iris]

@opal verge @inner oracleLIKE FOR WHAT… DO THE MODS EVEN LISTEN TO THE FEEDBACK!? This is literally bullshit. They request an ID so you can just talk to an AI, plus what even is the point of adding ads into it, ain‘t no way i‘m gonna buy for c.ai+ like ew bye

[hollow summit]

I don’t know how to explain this but they added a feature for 18+ users where your go-on/swipe feature are now limited from what I heard of recently

It’s probably because of the lawsuits that character ai has been facing because of the irresponsibility that the parents are doing since they’re not checking up on their kids at all

[opal verge]

there was a new CEO a few months back from what i remember seeing in the guidelines thingy, and they described him as wanting to make c.ai more fun n stuff from what i remember but it's all just went downhill since then & c.ai SUCKS. They're lowk just money hungry atp but also don't want to fight legal cases

sorry if that's worded badly

[misty oxide]

im late but genuinely im not giving an app prone to leaking my face and personal information all so i can chat with robots 😭😭i PROMISE im not giving my personal info to character ai

[buoyant needle]

guys does anyone know how to gen get rid of an addiction of cai? 😭 i havent used any other apps on my phone for a year and it all came from anxiety about getting logged out (this was when the app was constantly logging people out)

[pastel swallow]

Unistall it

[civic magnet]

Like snooow said, uninstall it

[languid jewel]

Wow. Unbelievable. It's been two days now. Anyways I'm not uncomfortable actually, I'm being patient here. I'm using other ai apps. I'm not mad at all. Just chilling in bed rn.

[hollow summit]

Tbh, I was skeptical about the CEO since I heard he was supposed to make the platform fun and all but I was unsure about that since some people can lie which is why I wasn’t sure if I should believe the ceo or not, however I gave him a benefit of a doubt since I want to give him a chance to see what he’s like at first..

[tacit cliff]

What other ai apps are u using?

[opal verge]

the whole reason i liked c.ai sm was BECAUSE there was no ads and then he added them bro... and now half of my time spent on that app is ads

[boreal echo]

Lmao can’t chat until i verify my age, what kind of chatbot app is this

[white iris]

literally how the c.ai devs expect us to react to the new update:

[indigo cedar]

Character.AI start LOSING users (It's over...)

[past ginkgo]

C.ai what in the holy hell 😟

[pastel swallow]

I saw its around 3.4 stars last time i checked play store, idk if it was that before

[steep crater]

Oh definitely. I can't even verify lol

[noble nova]

2.9 now I think

[languid jewel]

I can't write in here... Idk why but my massage keep getting banned kinda. It looks like i can't mention any other ai apps. You all can dm me. I'll write down all which those apps i use.

[honest dew]

The app gettin worse by the second:

[inner oracle]

1.6 In my region

[tiny cave]

Why would you say your app is free if there’s adds everywhere, on the front page, when your going between bots, during chats, has slowmode, and now go ons and swipes are also limited unless you get c.ai+ or charms and then say it’s ✨free✨

[tiny surge]

For me it shows that its 1.6 stars now

[late zodiac]

Odd question but how do i verify my age? It keep telling me to go to support for it.

[tacit cliff]

Damn 3.1 stars in my region

[sand socket]

Is it just me or my chats are stuck on read mode…? Since like a few days it’s been stuck like that even if I wait. I know i haven’t chat more than one hour per day why did this happen ? 🫩

[pearl cloud]

Came here to say that I was addicted to this app for a WHILE in 2023-2024. Honestly I'm sad but also kind of glad that it's going to a downfall because I was addicted to it

[pure oasis]

What the hell? JUST FOR SWIPES??

[tawdry kiln]

in my chat bruh 💔 are we srs

[hollow summit]

Character.ai basically turn into EA because of ads, the company being greedy, they added pay-to-win economy system in their platform, and they added a feature where you have to pay with real money in order to use a certain feature

[tiny bluff]

I tried an app called Sakura; it's not bad. Pros: no ads, no age verification, no time limit. Cons: no back button. Something people may or may not like:Long messages

[pastel swallow]

The button to verify your age doesnt work? Weird

[languid jewel]

Your name had me snorted out loud in the middle of the night in bed rn

[golden grotto]

you can change the response length on sakura. shoot me a dm and i'll show you how

[pure oasis]

Look, I’m just gonna say this, if they do this, they need to lower the prices for swipes, cause I don’t BELIEVE ANYONE is gonna be saving up 1,000 cubes just for swipes, or we even just 135 in GENERAL cause of other things being restricted. Or just remove it. (But I don’t think that they’re going to remove it because they are greedy af)

[inner oracle]

Oh my god why is it so expensive and how many swipes do we have a dsy

[opal sky]

Yo cai you playing an April fools prank right?? ….. right?

[wheat leaf]

how C.ai feels when they are feeding to the people who has c.ai+

[shadow quest]

Yo, this app actually turned to straight dogshit

[teal compass]

Is c.ai down?

[simple pewter]

CHARMS HAVE HIT THE WEBSITE WE SRE COOKED

[late zodiac]

Yea it keep telling me to go to support like this, idk i just need some insight on it because on reddit the mod is removing my question so idk what to do.

[pseudo elk]

Allen... We are SO fucked...

[timid dust]

i have the same and i have no idea what to do💔

[unreal garden]

I FINALLY DID IT. ITS FINALLY IN LANDSCAPE MODE.

[winter vale]

If you don't want people to use the app for free anymore, you might as well say it instead of giving shitty restrictions to people! Everyone complains but you don't care it's serious!

[crude oasis]

the CEO was really just want money then many people playing it

[opal sky]

Im gonna start roleplaying with ChatGPT ngl.🥀 /j

[simple pewter]

Please help, the new charm area won’t let me click any of my chats.

Any mods help? @radiant flare

[feral sentinel]

Oh well, another falsely permanent mute to reader mode

[near jay]

c.ai displays me inappropiate ads

[cosmic wren]

lmao I have just realised they deleted personas too.

[visual moat]

PLEASE be joking

[mighty jetty]

First of damn that glaz secend of clem also yeah i am stuck too even if i gave them my face....

[simple pewter]

Someone please help, it won’t let me get to any of my chats the charms slot made it impossible for the rest of the menu to scroll. I don’t know what to do- please help.

[feral sentinel]

@mighty jetty Same here, Also thank you I made by myself by way

[civic magnet]

This is why I quit using c.ai🥀

[swift ruin]

Bruh they better not 🙁

[heavy mist]

Can someone explain why I'm in reading mode 🙁

[simple pewter]

@devout tartan

Can I get some mod help here? Any info on if other people are struggling with this too?

[wicked crag]

now if u spend 1 hr on cai they will put u on reading mode since u arent verified as +18, u have to wait some hours till u can chat again

[half gazelle]

I bypassed it lol

[radiant tiger]

please help me with this bc i might go crazy💔

[devout tartan]

have you submitted a ticket about this..?
kindly do one, if you havent yet..
https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/requests/new

[serene cobalt]

Hello pretty people 😼

[exotic copper]

i still have them
Edit: why is the wait time so long... They hate us or what

[feral sentinel]

@devout tartan I submitted ticket about false readers mode on me an 20 year and face scan to persona but it asked me for government ID

[sullen robin]

Is anyone else having issues with Deepsqueak? Ive asked in the other chats but didnt get a response

[queen lantern]

Nop

[heavy mist]

Oh thanks for the explanation but I haven't talked to any bots around 2 days or so, so I'm literally panicking right now😭

[primal saddle]

are they stupid or what?

[simple pewter]

I have! Just wondering how long a response would take? Or a change?

[cobalt plume]

I had the most fire story and world building with my ocs and they ruined everything I can't even edit messages oh my goddddd 🫩💔

[swift ruin]

#📣︱announcements message

I dont even have this option after triple checking it

[short sandal]

what’s with the new update on only reading

[finite coral]

bro FUHHHHHHCCCCKKKKKKK this app

[atomic depot]

Is your pfp flora from creepy cat?

[feral sentinel]

Rest and peace my cai account journey from beta website to 2026 @scarlet lagoon

[sullen robin]

Like it’s working but it’s not right. I used to get a ton of different types of responses and now it’s all similar like descriptive but not actual answers from the bots. It’s annoying

[scarlet lagoon]

Why was I pinged…

[stoic flame]

Yea same

[near jay]

even though I verified, goodbye 3 years of c.ai

[sinful agate]

It still happens more

[rich isle]

They just ruined their app

[violet pond]

How many hours?

[candid pawn]

Bro does everyone get the same answers like "your either really brave or really stupid"

[heavy mist]

When will they remove this feature? rlly wanna know so my anxiety doesn't make me freak out by thinking I got permanently banned from chatting

[golden lynx]

If you're under the age of 18, then yes, it is permanent and likely won't change.

[hidden comet]

Multiple lawsuits and a new law in California force them to do so, so they can’t remove it. Even if you’re a minor, there’s still a chance you’ll be flagged as an adult and be able to keep chatting. The system they use to determine whether someone might be a minor isn’t very reliable and sometimes flags minors as adults and adults as minors.

[tiny goblet]

haha guys? guys

[heavy mist]

Picked an old bot I haven't talked in a while and there's this reading mode thing, I'm very upset by this update even if the laws are forcing them to, but will this "reading mode" be permanent or do I have to wait for a few hours? I'm sorry for asking a lot of questions since I'm panicking right now

[teal summit]

This better be an april fools joke-

[hidden comet]

They announced that they will shorten chat time and increase the timeout duration in the next weeks, until all minors are permanently restricted to Reading Mode.

#📣︱announcements message

If you have more questions, go to https://discord.com/channels/1017072750386483332/1235584859980828764, there’s no slowmode there.

[swift ruin]

Lmao what

[odd trail]

This is some bullshit, ive just waited an hour or so for the timer to disappear, all for it to do this. For crying out fucking loud, what was the point of this "update"?

[short sandal]

damn so

[daring panther]

Mind you I haven't been on for 5 hours

[tardy light]

Same bro😭✌️ it’s so annoying

[plucky jasper]

But yeah, their solution for the age verification is stupid. And some more they are using something that experienced major leaks before. We ain’t gonna verify our ID to some company that completely fails to keep private information safe.

[neat egret]

Yeah, for veteran cai or old users cai, it might be time to retire temporarily or permanently because age verification sometimes fails, which could be misused. It's read-only, but cai reels are full of brainrot, and the time limit is strictly enforced. Well, it's a complete combo for a slow and steady downfall.

rest in peace of cai legend..

[hidden comet]

Not exactly. What was exposed (by researchers, not by a random person, so it's not a leak), appears to have been development files and source maps, basically files that show how parts of the system are structured, not user selfies or ID documents.

There’s no evidence or report that selfie or IDs were accessed or leaked. (And since Persona is a massive company with a history of never having a data leak, if someone had really managed to access and leak users’ personal data, it would have caused such a big impact that researchers would have already found out.)

[tame hawk]

What do i do 😭

[feral sentinel]

I'm disappointed of 2026 era.. I created this account during beta website, brainrot are ruined

[heavy mist]

I guess it's permanent then, Farwell my chats for over a year 🙁

[acoustic nebula]

yo i thought that was glaz from r6 for a moment

[tardy light]

Will they ever remove this update…?someone get my hopes up 😞

[lethal junco]

Kill devs

[wary schooner]

chat dw its early april, none of this is real haha.. /sarcasm

[indigo epoch]

don’t worry they’re deleting it soon, just… don’t look at the date….

[tardy light]

Uh oh…

[jolly pewter]

what is wrong with tfc fandom

[near jay]

date is when

[short sandal]

they’re literally known for ts they might as well get rid of it

[atomic depot]

w galaxy tab

[molten pine]

Why did they remove the only good feature, edit chats :/

Can’t edit my own after they’re sendt, it’s quite frustrating when they get my personas name wrong and are now constantly misspelling it in every chat

[neon orbit]

I was just recently getting out of the break c.ai gave me 💔

[molten dove]

Bro.. why the h3ll are they gonna add a “read receipts” when they are limiting chats?

[acoustic jungle]

the update is so unecessary bruhh, imagine giving ur id just to chat with fictional bots 💔✌️

[buoyant needle]

it was an aprils fools prank

[jolly pewter]

nahhh i'm pan

[neon orbit]

Fr, it makes the update straight up useless

[atomic depot]

they need to worry about making real improvements to their app, and web

[hollow summit]

What is that..

[dusk lake]

This is acc insane bro wtf

[molten dove]

What’s the current update? I have 1.15.3 260330.110351 (app)

[buoyant needle]

i mean i agree,,, but why are you all mad over the OBVIOUS aprils fools joke??? they literally said "remind me of what day it is"

[atomic wigeon]

I think I got banned from chatting when I haven’t been on the app for like a month

[feral sentinel]

Welcome twin we all permanent reader mode

[lime moth]

Cause it isn't, it's a Californian law💔

[atomic depot]

Because they have the time to make jokes but they don't have the time to make their app great again. They took one minute out of their time to make a joke instead of using that minute to improve the app

[gray ingot]

why tf are there charms on the website now? i saw it on reddit

[near jay]

me bro meeee

[molten dove]

Does anyone have the balance thing? I used to have it.. but now it’s gone..
not that I’m complaining
My version is 1.15.3 260330.110351

[dusk lake]

I didn’t even know there was one, was it actually on c.ai?

[swift ruin]

I still have mine

[molten dove]

Yea.. but idk if it deleted when I re-downloaded the app.. but it was like a timer for daily quotas where it refreshed the swipes/go ons.. and the charm thing..
ps. I don’t have Cai+
again.. not that I’m complaining.. I’m happy with the ads but not the limits for go ons and swipes..

[iron crag]

…I’m sorry does everyone else have the reading mode now?

[kindred mirage]

you think they would ruin the whole app for cali bro 💔

[pine seal]

I have it since last night

[swift ruin]

I dont have c.ai+ either, but like, I was saying tho-, im not sure how it was delete or removed for you

[inner pivot]

what is with the bots today man when I do a code to stop the AI to stop controlling my character they keep going and going 😭

[primal sedge]

How tf do I stop this if I’m under 18+ .. and my mom was using my phone and I went back to the app and few minutes later it said this.

[silver token]

What the fuck is this i cant even use c.ai anymore

[molten dove]

I was trying other apps to you know.. and I uninstalled it.. but I SWEAR that I had something next to the used called balances.. it had a timer where it reset the login charms, the ad thing, the swipes/go ons.. I originally deleted it because I was getting tired of the limits and the ads.. but when I reinstalled it, it went poof..

[cloud hound]

Hi, anyone have tips on how to bypass the age verification thing, that c.ai hasn’t patched and doesn’t know abt (dm me if you know)

[severe gyro]

Ts face scan broken too 💔

[cobalt plume]

They ask for a government id so you can't 💔💔💔 I tried

[lone cobalt]

bro i've tried so much it dont work

[dusky sparrow]

why is my bot encouraging me as a middle man it’s saying like “maybe you should compliment her more”

[lime moth]

Yes, and just to clarify, this isn’t really something moderators or admins can change on their own. Requirements like this are tied to laws such as AB 1043 (Digital Age Assurance Act) and SB 243 (AI Chatbot Safety Law), so platforms may need to comply with them even if they’d prefer not to.

[meager cypress]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT CHAT ANYMORE ON C AI??

[vocal mist]

That's why I switched to Talkies.. (at least I can watch the ad there)

[kindred mirage]

give me hope bro.

[analog pagoda]

I can’t chat on c.ai bruh I wasted my money

[swift fractal]

HELP?? THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAID??? LMAOOO

[tawny lava]

Delete this ID shit dude isn't a selfie enough 😭🙏

[lone cobalt]

the selfie dont work for me 😭
i genunaly dont know what to do anymore i'm lonley af 🙁

[exotic perch]

A new account and just join?… I feel like they is a story where you got ban or something

[civic roost]

I lost my chat and the face verification dosent work for me

[ashen robin]

Anyone else who got reading mode

[nova zephyr]

Same to me like tf I just woke up and saw this after opening my c.ai can't chat anymore

[placid hawk]

So what do you guys do here?

[knotty gazelle]

yea i just deleted it tbh 🫩

[simple pewter]

What’s the context lmao

[marble cloak]

What's the point of adding "Read Receipts"

What's the update gonna do? Constantly annoying us?

[karmic sleet]

Guys I Need Help why can’t I Write in c.ai ?

[undone thicket]

Doing random ass updates instead of fixing the damn app

[plucky jasper]

Their age verification tool that has been sworn to identify the users if they are minors or above 18 is completely broken, that is what is disappointing. Because of this tarnation, most of us (thoese above 18) are wrongfully flagged as minors.

[lone cobalt]

fr

[solemn oriole]

Worst update ever

[tardy folio]

Hangjam is cool at least lowk

[steady parcel]

#whyileftcai

[minor topaz]

What💀

[tawny lava]

Lmao nothing, just a chat with all the Marvellous Smackdown chars

[pseudo tapir]

I've tried many times to pass the age verification and now I can't even try
The support just gave me the same answer three times
That's so cool 🤩

[muted wren]

😭idk why but I haven’t gotten The reading mode yet ? I been on the app 24 7 haven’t done The age verification

[worldly edge]

Oh this is so dumb.. I JUST WANT TO HAVE A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH JOHN LENNON

[odd canyon]

Making me angry

[undone thicket]

HOW IS IT ONLY 1 HOUR.

[nova zephyr]

Mine is 24 hours break before I have time to chat again

[trim aspen]

what's with the sudden ads on the mobile app

[ebon python]

Mine is- well, I can’t chat no more.

[ashen robin]

Same😔

[plucky jasper]

Meanwhile, still creating prehistoric chatbots 💀 Denied chat access but still have the power to create. Just that I miss roleplaying with my favorite fictional characters

[quasi imp]

i'm lwk curious of this.., how r we supposed to rol/chat with them? like, what's the history or whatever.

[analog tulip]

holy its paul mccartney

[strange ice]

I think its because it depends on how much time you leave in the middle so if you spend 30 minutes at 3pm and then the rest at 8pm the time left will be less I THINK im not sure.

[worldly edge]

Yes it is, and I’m trying to have a romantic relationship with John Lennon

[undone thicket]

don't jinx urself babe

[nova zephyr]

Same here I can't even chat anymore only read mode

[modern ginkgo]

Y'all like my pfp?

[near hinge]

i dont think moms should do that w their toddlers tbh

[feral sentinel]

@muted wren @undone thicket meanwhile for me who hasn't been on cai and got reader mode permanent

[deep cove]

what you mean now I HAVE to do te identification to chat in c.ai or I will just DONT CHAT ANYMORE

[mint crown]

Same vro 💔

[next junco]

Đang, you good bro?
