[celest pond]

Depends on the day and how many people are on the app, i have noticed that

[mortal rampart]

okay ill have to try it later bc mine doesnt have the update and has the pfps

[rustic stirrup]

I think that was their point

[tulip pollen]

I was mad about it at first but then I just accepted it and moved one

[vital pelican]

The flashing of the stupid faces agitates my migraines so bad

[cedar bluff]

I don’t get ads, thank god. they’re so annoying so I have a permanent solution for them

[mortal rampart]

anyways i hate it. i prefer web over that

[celest pond]

The personas pfp?

[tawny jewel]

I see

[mortal rampart]

yep still has it and no new loading thing

[rustic stirrup]

I try to go on web but my phone is too small to use it

[scenic ore]

Ppl like drama

[keen comet]

Web freaks me out

[tawny jewel]

ATP I might just move to the web

[gray galleon]

What’s accepting stuff going to do in the long run? It’s better to try and move for change than to fall down to merely accepting it

[mortal rampart]

How so?

[dim sleet]

many cannot, it takes at LEAST a week for me because i am autistic, big ui changes in things are frustrating

[scenic ore]

I havent noticed a single thing till i hit dc

[vital pelican]

Yes you have mate don’t act so silly

[old bobcat]

this

[tulip pollen]

I mean I was really mad about it at first but then I realized I barely look at it and I already have all my personas memorized inside my head

[keen comet]

Not use to it

[scenic ore]

Someone called me cai worshipper for me tellin them its over exaggerating 😭🙏

[keen comet]

C.ai before slow mode ❤️‍🩹

[tulip pollen]

I'm Autistic too and yes I understand it as well, I can relate

[rare spear]

Da na gon lose to da W, Da 8, And da Ven?

[mortal rampart]

okay the new update hit my phone when i reloaded c.ai

[gray galleon]

Because you’re undermining a problem that the developers will be able to get away with because they don’t deal with consequences.

[old bobcat]

some people aren’t like that. it’s hard to get used to something. I personally couldn’t stand the sudden difference of the chat bubbles. like my previous chats are now “untidy” and out of the place

[mortal rampart]

yall app users got it bad, i hate the gap and the dumb faces

[rustic stirrup]

WHAT!?

[vital pelican]

I just hate how it’s so useless, they’ve updated it for no reason.
None of this was necessary?? They can fix bugs, not change the whole app

[scenic ore]

U are more self aware than half of the kids here

[old bobcat]

by the way you are chatting. you are looking down on people dude haha

[dim sleet]

every autistic person is different therefore we can't really compare it

[mortal rampart]

never touching the app again after theese 6 minutes

[tulip pollen]

What can I say, I have grown a lot to just accept changes that won't be changed

[tawny jewel]

I’m going to go try the web, wish me luck

[scenic ore]

Okay bro im cai agent 🙏

[tulip pollen]

Fair enough

[scenic ore]

U caught me

[half dawn]

New update.

[dim sleet]

but everyone has the right to their own reactions and opinions

[tulip pollen]

Of course

[mortal rampart]

People can have their own opinions and thats completely fine

[vital pelican]

The issue is though, if what, 95% of users are currently complaining, something should be done about it

[old bobcat]

😔🙏🏻

[tawny jewel]

The web is so much better holy

[gray galleon]

The devs know at this point no matter what they change, as long as it’s still functional they’ll be able to live off of people addicted to a site like this.

[tawny jewel]

Migrating to the web rn 🙏🏻

[scenic ore]

No im not bro, im just sayin there re feedbacks and requests channels, I just stated my own opinion, thank you

[cobalt walrus]

There's a new update apparently? Because I still have the same UI

[vital pelican]

You kinda are broski nation

[tulip pollen]

Just wait

[vital pelican]

A terrible one, yes

[tulip pollen]

Real

[old bobcat]

so are we

[dense narwhal]

I'm honestly addicted to it no matter how ass it is I can't move on.

[gray galleon]

Feedback and requests channels that are left in the dust and are only going to be there for show.

You’ve went over the fact that it’s ’not that bad’ despite the fact it’s a major unnecessary change that people want reverted.

[cobalt walrus]

It's been literal weeks since I've last updated and I didn't had the ugly UI that people talked about. Maybe it's an USA thing idk

[old bobcat]

I had it today

[scenic ore]

And? Did I say u cant or something? 😭

[gray galleon]

I feel you, I’m not trying to call people out for being addicted to stuff like this.

[scenic ore]

I just said attackin me wont do anything

[dense narwhal]

Yeahh.

[tawny jewel]

I’m in USA and have it 💔

[vital pelican]

You’re being very bossy and acting all high and mighty about liking it, so yeah. It’s inferred you don’t want us to say anything.

[tulip pollen]

You were was just stating your opinions, it's not your fault if people have a problem with it

[cobalt walrus]

Eh, even thought I might get it, I'll still use the app. For example, the UI on YouTube TV has changed a lot and I still use it

[vital pelican]

Yeahhh but they don’t change it 3 times a month when there’s other issues that need to be worked on

[tulip pollen]

Same here, regardless I will still use cai even if they change some things

[mortal rampart]

Changes happen alot, al you can rlly do is get used to em

[old bobcat]

Dude. You have to read the way he voiced his opinions and replying to our opinions. Spamming emotes and gif

[scenic ore]

Bruh saying u all over exaggerating is being bossy okay, sorry mb.

[cobalt walrus]

Maybe it's because I can get used to some things and not others. Like cAI changed the UI so much that I'm basically used to it atp

[vital pelican]

Soooo you’re allowed to exaggerate your opinions and yet we can’t voice ours?

[tulip pollen]

Same like I'm not surprised anymore if they do, just accept it and move on

[scenic ore]

What? How? How come

[dim sleet]

okay bye yall I'm tired

[tulip pollen]

Cute cat

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah same. And the app will eventually ask me to update it by myself if I want to use it, which I do obviously.

[dense narwhal]

Bye bro.

[vital pelican]

^^ one example of you mocking people’s opinions

[scenic ore]

Where bro

[tulip pollen]

Jack didn't mock anyone from what I can see

[half dawn]

Look can't we all agree to disagree. Some may like somethings others do not and that ok. There no reason to fight over different opinions on a subject.

[tulip pollen]

I agree with you Alaina

[strange inlet]

From my brief read I don't think jack was mocking anyone

[mortal rampart]

Yall are causing an argument over nothing, Jack was being quite respectful from what i read. Some peoples opinions are differents but thats natural

[tulip pollen]

Same I don't think he was mocking anyone

[vital pelican]

What we’re saying is that he’s saying he’s allowed to voice his opinion, however he doesn’t want us to voice ours?

[strange inlet]

I don't think that's what he said

[tulip pollen]

Same

[scenic ore]

Where I indicated this, can u reply to that message

[strange inlet]

I just woke up dont ping me on this again

[tulip pollen]

You didn't mock anyone at all Jack from what I can see

[scenic ore]

I am getting framed

[celest pond]

When tf and why did we change from discussing the new UI to discuss wathever Jack was being rude or not

[tulip pollen]

I will defend you don't worry xd

[barren folio]

what is going on

[tulip pollen]

I don't know, Jack didn't do anything wrong

[mortal rampart]

Someone missunderstanding someone elses opinions

[scenic ore]

Long story short ppl are not happy about new update and i came with “i think u all over exaggerating, its not that bad” … the new topic was me afterwards

[barren folio]

why would you even think you can say that in CAI DISCUSSION of all places, people love to blame others for nothing here

[tulip pollen]

I'm defending you Jack

[scenic ore]

I didnt know okay? And they were like ur emotes and pics are offensive

Emotes in question: 🙏🏻🥀😭

[strange inlet]

The pictures are quite endearing

They're funny

[barren folio]

poor guy😭😭 they aren’t going easy on you hm? first time in discussion?

[barren folio]

real

[dense narwhal]

Ok I'm going back on cai bye u guys I had fun watching the argument and stuff.

[tulip pollen]

There's no honor in attacking an unarmed person without reason xd

[barren folio]

your status is so very poetic

[tulip pollen]

Thank you, It's a good quote

[barren folio]

where is it from?

[tulip pollen]

I don’t remember

[arctic shoal]

Wassup

[buoyant elm]

The new update is so bad

[tulip pollen]

Not much we can do about it

[mortal rampart]

Its horrible, yes. But all there is to do is just get used to it

[buoyant elm]

I just wish the pfps were back

[tulip pollen]

Indeed wise words

[buoyant elm]

It's so confusing especially with the personas too

[tulip pollen]

We can't stay in the past forever, we need to move on eventually

[mortal rampart]

Rlly hope they atleast give names for app users above messages so its not confusing like the web has

[gleaming turret]

Can they get rid of the loading screen crap and give us a option to us pfp in chats if we want to

[buoyant elm]

I just feel like removing the pfps were unnecessary and with the new loading thing with the faces too like there's people with epilepsy using the app too

[cosmic goblet]

I just got the no persona pfp thing 🥲

[tulip pollen]

All you can do is to get used to it sadly

[mortal rampart]

They should rlly add an option to disable the new loading thing, people who are sensitive to fast changing images could actually get trigerred by that

[tulip pollen]

I agree, make more stuff as accessibility instead

[cosmic goblet]

Considering Ben had to beg them to add accessibility in the first place I doubt it'll happen sadly

[gleaming turret]

Well they need to think about changing it or knock knock lawsuits, they could change it to a circle loading thing instead of of that loading mess, and you'd think that only show up if you don't have good wifi or something like that, not all the time

[cosmic goblet]

Also if they said the logo changes every two months then what's the point of incorporating it into the loading chats screen just for it to be changed again soon??

Honestly, the day they stop changing the UI is the day I can rest 🫩

[barren folio]

i think it’s a bug tbf

[buoyant elm]

I just want to be able to see my characters pfp again and to get rid of that new loading thing

[cosmic goblet]

I don't think it is? Cause with the + user update you guys can see your pfp in the message bar apparently?

[barren folio]

no lol we can’t, not anymore

[cosmic goblet]

Oh what, this is so weird

[tulip pollen]

Really weird

[barren folio]

same, it does kinda suck but they have no reason to make both uis the same, so it must be a bug i think

[tulip pollen]

What's the point of a new ui then

[scenic ore]

Nope, only in bottom left corner

[barren folio]

yeah lol, i think i might make a ticket about it, it’s not that annoying but just confusing with my personas

[tulip pollen]

Yeah I remeber from screenshots I have seen

[barren folio]

wait what?

[cosmic goblet]

Yeah that's what I mean

[scenic ore]

U cant?

[barren folio]

wym

[barren folio]

depend on what you mean lol

[scenic ore]

I have this one

[buoyant elm]

Not me

[cosmic goblet]

Apparently if you turn off the new UI that goes but everything else stays

[barren folio]

oh yeah but that’s the new ui lol i don’t use that

[scenic ore]

Wait i can change ui?

[scenic ore]

Im usin it for ages already 😭

[cosmic goblet]

So is this their way of easing the new UI onto everyone or will the new UI with the menu layout stuff be + only?

[delicate egret]

Should I send a ticket about this?

[tulip pollen]

Nope I know Crov has the new ui and he's not a plus user

[barren folio]

i honestly just don’t like it that much😭

[cosmic goblet]

I could've sworn he was plus?

[scenic ore]

I got used to it so much i dont even remember the old one anymore

[barren folio]

but didn’t the new one change as well? i remeber you could see your pfp there too

[cosmic goblet]

I really don't want all that new menu layout shit 🫩

[tulip pollen]

I want the new one so badly

[scenic ore]

At the latest user message u mean? I dont remember quite

[delicate egret]

I just want to be able to see my own pfp in the chat, somehow. I’m a free user. I don’t pay.

[barren folio]

yeah the new ui had the pfp thingy too i think, so that’s why i assume it’s probaly a bug

[tulip pollen]

it has to be

[scenic ore]

Like this rn for me

[deep garnet]

I'm so confused what did they change

[cosmic goblet]

Also, that new chat loading screen...feels like it needs an epilepsy warning or smth

[barren folio]

i’m about to submit a ticket, you could do so too lol

[scenic ore]

Dont question the chatbot

[deep garnet]

I'm sorry I'm so new updates 😭

[barren folio]

same, the old ui looks the dead same lol

[tulip pollen]

It does

[barren folio]

don’t be sorry, nothing much changed, it might be a bug or it might be a update but the profile pictures got removed from chats

[fleet temple]

My persona picture is missing from my chats too T~T

[cosmic goblet]

Wait is this with new UI enabled? I thought the top part was different with the bot pfp on the left?

[delicate egret]

I’m legitimately so bummed

[barren folio]

submit a ticket and ping a mod

[deep garnet]

:'0 why are things changing so much I feel so old each time I see an update 😭

[fleet temple]

It’s an update

[barren folio]

i don’t know actually! but they always change their layouts

[half dawn]

The only difference really is the pfp for persona isn't on the screen at all for the old ui.

[barren folio]

i don’t think it is lol, could be wrong tho

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, I saw a video about it on the subreddit and my poor eyes

[tulip pollen]

It does

[scenic ore]

Yes i found the old ui from settings

I didnt know that was even an option before

[cosmic goblet]

I feel like mods on the reddit would've told people to submit tickets by now but they haven't

[mortal rampart]

Really hope they do smth about the new loading thing. like atleast add an accesibility setting or get rid of it.

[tulip pollen]

It's not good at all

[half dawn]

To be fair a lot didn't know.

[barren folio]

i have never seen them do that anymore when bugs happen lately, do they still do that?

[scenic ore]

I didnt know if my connection was weak or sum

[cosmic goblet]

I'm closing my eyes everytime I have to open a bot it's ridiculous

[cobalt walrus]

I wouldn't mind it if they changed the loading screen. Even thought I still have the old UI, the loading screen for the new one

[cosmic goblet]

Yeah they do! They've been doing it with the whole ads thing and voice bugs too

[tulip pollen]

Whenever cai changes certain things, it’s also difficult to tell if it’s a bug or a update sometimes

[cosmic goblet]

Cause there's never any proper communication 💀

[tulip pollen]

Mhm

[scenic ore]

Take care guys, gtg, remember, whatever happens dont let it to ruin ur day

[tulip pollen]

Wise words

[barren folio]

love that picture it’s so whimsical

[barren folio]

yeah true, i remember when people were thinking that the blue colour changing in chats was a bug too, meanwhile it was just an update lol

[ocean dragon]

Is anybody else not able to create Characters right now?

[hot ridge]

are scenes fixed yet

[scenic ore]

I just learned a new word

[violet sluice]

Man fuck this update

[velvet helm]

"I WANT THE OLD UI BACK!!!" Oh my God, you guys are overreacting.

[cosmic goblet]

It's not really wanting the entire old UI back, people just want the persona pfps back which is totally understandable

[velvet helm]

they're overreacting over their PFPs disappearing? and now they're blaming the devs for something out of their control?

[cedar bluff]

the emoticons lowkey suck that’s all I hate

[cobalt walrus]

Not to mention that, from what I've seen on the subreddit, the loading screen with the faces flashing rapidly isn't that great for people who deal with epilepsy or problems similar to that

[outer briar]

Yo someone else having a problem with skipping ads? The screen just not reacting at all? Been like that for a week so now im wondering if its just me

[tulip pollen]

I feel bad for them

[cobalt walrus]

I don't know if I'm epileptic but I can't stand that kind of stuff. I'm pretty sure that it already happened in a precedent update with the loading screen with flashing faces

[graceful magnet]

doesn't feel the same without the persona pfps guys..😔 at least for me

[velvet helm]

OMG YOU'RE OVERDRAMATIC

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, same Imagine having that kind of problem, I wouldn't like to have it

[tulip pollen]

They have the right to voice their opinion

[velvet helm]

that is not "voicing an opinion", that's being overdramatic over the pfps

[cobalt walrus]

Alright, I guess that there's another one added to a certain list

[cosmic goblet]

It's not overreacting, the persona pfp being gone does make it hard to tell which one you have selected

[tulip pollen]

They were just saying it doesn't feel same, do not start acting like that towards people just because of that

[scenic ore]

Oh no… not again

[cobalt walrus]

Not to mention the loading screen. Idk if it already happened before but I'm sure that it was the case before the loading screen was back to normal, in a way.

[cosmic goblet]

Other than the pfp and loading screen, everything else is fine

[celest pond]

Its okay Jack, its not against you this time, plus this person it is actually being rude

[strange inlet]

[cobalt walrus]

At this point, if the UI updates start getting worse, I think that I might use the website lol. I'm an app user only but I wouldn't mind giving a try to the website lol

[scenic ore]

The flashbacks

[tulip pollen]

[strange inlet]

personally i find the new ui uncomfortable so i changed back to the old one

[velvet helm]

i wasn't being rude, i told people to stop complaining about the PFPs and they were like "WE'RE JUST VOICING OUR OPINIONS!"

[main cipher]

My chat bot is being weird and I’m wondering if this is happening to anyone else

It’s also been adding randomly at the end of chats like

“somehow here today too…” or “still here now also but added next quieter but no less intense”

[cosmic goblet]

I've just seen a pic on reddit of someone with their gallery app in pop up view so they can see their persona

[strange inlet]

You are being rude by calling people overdramatic

[celest pond]

Wich... Is true? They're giving their opinions and that's what this channel is supposed to be about?

[vernal elm]

Hello everyone, new user here. How are you all?

[tulip pollen]

They have the right to complain

[scenic ore]

Hello Alawi, welcome and good, what ab u

[vernal elm]

All good brother...

[scenic ore]

Its making narrator comments, if u even let the single one message to pass like that, it automatically changes its style like that, edit and delete till it forgets

[tulip pollen]

Yeah

[main cipher]

It’s doing that for all of mine though

[scenic ore]

Yeah its very common

[remote prawn]

is anyone still experiencing those unskippable ads before some chats?

[main cipher]

Ok thanks

[vernal elm]

Gone through all messages, I too use the app. And its highly discouraging for users to facing such halts with regards to quality and issues. Most recent being the issue with the profile picture of persona not visible. Hopefully its a bug, like it was in October 2024.

[vestal fossil]

You mean the ads where the buttons to skip and close it out literally do not work?

[remote prawn]

yep, is that still happening for some?

[cobalt walrus]

Apparently, it has to do with the new update. I just hope that I won't have to update it by myself that early tho

[vernal elm]

Any updates regarding profile picture though? From mods.

[vestal fossil]

Yeah, for me

[main cipher]

May I show you if that’s ok?

[vestal fossil]

I have to keep closing out the app and I’m pretty close to just switching to the website

[scenic ore]

Sure

[barren folio]

you’ll have to submit a ticket if you want any type of clarification

[dense moss]

Why is pipsqueak giving me shitty answers

[barren folio]

happy to be able to enlarge your vocab

[vernal elm]

Did that but unfortunately no reply.

[barren folio]

did you ping a mod with the ticket number?

[vernal elm]

How do I do that?

[scenic ore]

Bro cant u just send it without fr request?

[dense moss]

💔

[celest pond]

With a literal ping by tagging their user

[main cipher]

I just sent them

[barren folio]

@ and then you can choose a mod that’s online, rn none of them are but you can do it regardless, less chance of having an immediate response tho

[alpine crypt]

Noooooo

[vernal elm]

Actually I have a low karma so I can't post it there, also, I tried messaging a mod here but it read that they are only available for close friends.... if that's what you mean. Apologies if I am wrong.

[silent cipher]

karma

?????

[strange inlet]

low karma on discord doesn't exist

[vernal elm]

I meant on reddit

[strange inlet]

i see

[barren folio]

no worries but yeah no you can ping a mod here, just press @ on your keyboard and then type a mods username, it’s not the same as in reddit lol

or i can do it for you

[vernal elm]

Please do and thanks a lot for this..

[barren folio]

no worries! just put your ticket number in the chat and i’ll ping a mod to the message

do you know where to get your ticket number?

[vernal elm]

Here I should put my ticket number?

[barren folio]

yup!

[vernal elm]

1012632 - here it is. Thanks a lot...

[barren folio]

@slate ruin haii! wondering if you could bump up this persons ticket? thanks in advance

[barren folio]

and no worries!

[vernal elm]

Thanks a lot for your help...

[barren folio]

you’re welcome! have a nice day

[vernal elm]

You too, have a nice day.

[slate ruin]

Hii, this is actually the new default chat UI. We already shared feedback about this with the team. Thanks!

[vernal elm]

Okay so that means it is permanent?

[tulip pollen]

Hi Mikasa

[cobalt walrus]

No one knows at the moment. But if enough people complain about it, maybe they'll change the UI looks. I said 'maybe', it's not confirmed yet.

[slate ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lurking-gif-22179921

[tulip pollen]

Key word “Maybe”

[vernal elm]

Okay...

[cobalt walrus]

I just hope that they'll bring the persona pfp back and fix the flashing loading screen.

It happened once, maybe it'll happen this time.

[cosmic goblet]

-# I don't think they will change it back, but I haven't seen a single positive comment about it unlike previous UI changes where you'd get one person saying they like it

[vernal elm]

Yes I hope too for the same. That UI felt connective and realistic.

[tulip pollen]

We will have to see

[cobalt walrus]

I don't have this UI yet. Neither the other one, I still have the same since literal months

[celest pond]

I honestly don't mind minor changes like color or shape of the messages bubbles because im used to them, but this was a very radical change for the bad side

[cobalt walrus]

Imo, it should have been optional but I don't know if it's a lot of work to do so.

[vernal elm]

Yes any other change can be there but this absence of user pfp feels disengaging. I mean then the whole persona thing is left with no reason to being there.

[tulip pollen]

I agree

[vernal elm]

Thanks brother... hope they take our feedbacks into consideration and give us back our pfps.

[cobalt walrus]

Idk if they're going to listen, but I hope that they will

[tulip pollen]

We will see

[vernal elm]

Yes I too hope.. like in past they listened and gave us back image generation, even if in limitation for free users but they did it.

[thorny barn]

Sup people, am I the only one getting headaches from the new ui?

[vernal elm]

I guess no

[celest pond]

Nope, we are all on the same page

[thorny barn]

I may I almost threw my phone because of it-

[cobalt walrus]

And, apparently, if you want to switch back to the old UI, you have to be a plus user to do so. Otherwise, you have to pay for cAI plus if you want to change it

[tulip pollen]

Nope me ttoo

[tulip pollen]

Yes that's true

[celest pond]

And even with that i saw some people saying that said feature didn't even work with them

[vernal elm]

But I read on reddit or somewhere that even plus users aren't able to see their persona pfps even with switching it back.

[cobalt walrus]

What's the use of it then

[tulip pollen]

Exactly

[cobalt walrus]

Lmao, it's useless then

[half dawn]

The old ui for plus people is basically the new ui with no pfp.

[cobalt walrus]

There's already a lot of people on the subreddit complaining about the looks of the new UI, along with the loading screen and the fact that there's no persona pfp

[tulip pollen]

You’re right it is like that

[vernal elm]

Yes that is and our feedback is with the team... let's hope for the best.

[half dawn]

I just wish they leave one of the ui as they are. Than if they want to change something just do it to one of the ui only.

[tulip pollen]

There’s like 10 different threads already in the feedback channel about this

[cobalt walrus]

They're doing everything excepted fixing the app (it's a joke btw)

[tulip pollen]

Yeah like why update the old ui because like why

[cobalt walrus]

Like, having a toggle option for the UI or something like that would be great

[celest pond]

Character.ai listen to your community, impossible challenge 3...2..1 go!

[tulip pollen]

They change things no one asked for and then it’s this one person who wanted it

[half dawn]

Yeah I don't get it. Here lately that was literally the only real benefit of plus, being able to have the old ui.

[vernal elm]

They can update but there was no reason to remove their oen feature that was having a promising response... and one thing more, if you uninstall the app and reinstall it, you can see your pfp but for only until you don't close the app. Once you close, this UI again is there.

[crude obsidian]

YALL SERIOUSLY NEED JAIL TIME IT WAS MY FIRST TIME OPENING THIS FEATURE HELLO???

[half dawn]

Sometimes jokes hold so much truth's in them.

[tulip pollen]

So true

[celest pond]

You can even see how inconsistent they are with it by the constant changes i mentioned before with the character pfp changing between circle and square like... Is that truly a relevant change? And if so, such a small thing shouldnt be up for us to pick?

[crude obsidian]

whys it all 67 i just realized

[tulip pollen]

I mean I don’t know entirely

[half dawn]

The only response to 6-7 is 8,9.🤷‍♀️

[tulip pollen]

All we can hope for is that they change it back if enough complain

[crude obsidian]

the joke has no meaning behind it either it's so unfunny

i click feed for the first time and it just blesses my auditory tunnels with whimsical noises 😍🤩🤭

[tulip pollen]

And I still can’t get over the fact that the speaker looks like a wifi symbol

[cobalt walrus]

Yeah, I hope the same too. But I don't know if they're going to change the UI, since there's already a lot of people complaining about it

[celest pond]

I honestly don't usually like complaining this much but seems like a necessary meassure for this

[cobalt walrus]

We just have to wait and see (along with complaining lol)

[half dawn]

See they miss an opportunity with it, they could have made it into a dis at least. By using the periodic table with it. 😂

[buoyant elm]

Am I the only one actually getting headaches? I don't want to overreact or anything with the new UI but I feel like the faces loading is making my head hurt

[tulip pollen]

No that’s a valid concern, I don’t like it either

[crude obsidian]

you'll get plenty with community feed

lemme switch i didn't know it got another update

[cobalt walrus]

Reminds me of that one loading screen with flashing emojis/faces and they fixed it at one point. I had some headaches because of that months ago

Maybe they'll fix it again

[buoyant elm]

It's the exact same one again

[crimson yarrow]

Is just with mine or the app is super slow?
It's like glitching 🫠

[celest pond]

Yup, it started with the new layout

[crude obsidian]

what are the changes again x

[celest pond]

That's why i didn't even tried to keep using it, it just got annoying

[crude obsidian]

i don't think i have the new layout yet

[celest pond]

Uhh, no pfp for personas, this triggering new loading screen and the voice on thing now looks like a wifi sign on top of the message bubble

[crude obsidian]

are you on android perchance

[celest pond]

Yupe

[crude obsidian]

ohh that explains why i didn't get any updates yet

[tulip pollen]

I'm on iphone and I have the new layout

[cobalt walrus]

I also use Android and I don't seem to have the new UI. Yet

[crude obsidian]

that's weird

[split lark]

Yeah same

[crude obsidian]

i guess it's rolling out gradually

[split lark]

Probably

[gentle garnet]

i check lot's of complain about the loading screen, got curious and check iton room with light off. big mistake, now i dizzy

[tulip pollen]

Mhm

[cobalt walrus]

The loading screen already happened before, and it was fixed after some days, or weeks

[mellow aspen]

is it the rapidly changing emoticons being the loading screen?

[celest pond]

Tf did they added it again for if it was already removed

[ripe flower]

Everyone

[crimson yarrow]

I'm new at the community... do you guys, perhaps, know if they will make a change about this pfp thing if we complain a lot?

[gentle garnet]

yep, flashing emoticon

[mellow aspen]

I can see why

[cobalt walrus]

Maybe because they changed of ceo between these.

[celest pond]

Worth trying

[ripe flower]

Am I the only one who gets the problem whenever I try to press "Create" to make a character the message up above pops up and says; "Something went wrong"

[knotty violet]

aanyone else not like the under 18 ban..?

[ripe flower]

What's going on, is it my wifi?

[timber canopy]

No, what character are you making? If it's Disney, universal then you can't make any

[ripe flower]

Anime

[celest pond]

Pretty sure nobody under 18 liked it

[mellow aspen]

so pretty much any copyrighted character?

[timber canopy]

Hm try cropping the pfp a little or change it

[tulip pollen]

Hi Vicky

[ripe flower]

Damn, aight

[timber canopy]

You can't make any copyrighted characters unless you made a little change like changing the name, etc.

[candid sorrel]

hey guys what r yall talking abt rn

[timber canopy]

Hello

[unreal badger]

just saw the new update and now I can't see my persona pfps………why?

[mellow aspen]

new update got rid of them ig
(also peak pfp)

[ripe flower]

Crazy

[unreal badger]

bruh also thank you

[remote prawn]

i gotta love when i write a heartfelt response and all i get is like 2 sentences. unbelievable

[torpid palm]

I’m sorry if this has already been spoken about. But even if I turn the new chat UI off in settings I still get it. Is this gonna be fixed? I hate how the new chat UI looks and the old one looked way better anyway. I was happy I was able to keep the old one. But it seems to be a bug? I think? Does anyone know more?

[young briar]

Is there any reason why I can’t skip any of my adds?

[timber canopy]

#📈︱status message

[celest pond]

Someone already made a ticket and a mod saw it, all they said was that "she shared feedback with the team". So now we wait i guess

[young briar]

Thanks!!

[timber canopy]

No problem!

[remote prawn]

some of my characters feel off today. like i sent a long message and stuff and all i get is like 1-2 sentences that doesn't even make any sense to my message

[torpid palm]

Okay thank you! Let’s hope they fix it

[tender lion]

Am I trippin or PipSqueak and DipSqueak had some improvment over past 1-3 days?

[weary niche]

Is just me that got a new UI when i have the old UI activated?

[celest pond]

The feature isn't working apparently

[zealous turtle]

Bro I’ve never gotten c ai ads on the app b4 yesterday and now I’m getting them grrr

[bright horizon]

[cosmic goblet]

Pretty sure almost every user has some form of the new UI now

[weary niche]

If i have the old chat UI enable is because i don't want it to be changed.. I knew they'd force you to use it... what a pain.

[analog shard]

who made chara bot?

[merry mason]

What the fuck is thus new update 😭

[weary niche]

Ikr

[simple cipher]

I hate this update

[hazy igloo]

It’s called old UI for a reason 🥹 why are we changing the look

[tulip pollen]

It's not good

[merry mason]

I hate this new update

[blissful steeple]

wait what update lol

[native eagle]

I don't know if this is a new thing but scrolling through your recent chatlist on microsoft edge is impossible, it's not commonly used as a browser but this is my work laptop so I cant change it

winter update seems kinda random I dont think ill be using it

[woven fern]

is there a limit on how many liked bots we can have

because i’ve been liking bots but they haven’t popped up AT ALL on my liked bots list

[native eagle]

have you checked if theyre unlisted? i always reload my page before liking a bot cuz sometimes it doesn't register

or have you tried going back to the bot to re-like it?

[woven fern]

well not until now it still doesn’t work tho

[native eagle]

the devs are usually quick to fix something if you send a report thru the ticket system (pinned message), try using that for now. I have a lot of bots liked but maybe there's a secret limit? tbh I've never heard anyone talk about it

[woven fern]

pls i’m actually so upset because i’ve been liking bots forever and until now i realized they werent popping up so they all aren’t saved🥹💔💔💔✌🏾✌🏾

[woven fern]

where do i make a ticket

[native eagle]

here! I also saw a channel in feedback talking about this exact issue, so I hope they'll fix it soon

[woven fern]

oh okay thank youuu

[barren folio]

i’m surprised with how much people hate the new update, valid tho

[woven fern]

what is the new update

[tulip pollen]

It is valid, it took away something many loved

[woven fern]

i’m scared did i miss something🥹💔✌🏾

[barren folio]

the profile picture of your person is no longer there or wtv it’s called

[barren folio]

yeah true

[pale zodiac]

I want the pfp back when you chat:((

[woven fern]

uhhh wym? like the avatar thingy🧍‍♀️

[pale zodiac]

When you chat with a character, the bot pfp is there, but not yours. Making it difficult to know which persona you're using currently if you want to switch characters

[woven fern]

OHHHHH okay yeah i noticed a while ago but i just thought it was because i switched to iphone and stopped using web

no one seen that..🧍‍♀️ 🧍‍♀️

[pale zodiac]

Hopefully it comes back 🙏

[woven fern]

i thought you had a labubu pfp

[vocal plover]

Wait what happened i haven’t gotten an update?

[pale zodiac]

Hahah, noo. I don't like labubu. It's Nyota from pop mart c:

[woven fern]

well she looks cute :p

[barren folio]

refresh the app or web lol

[sudden robin]

C.ai turning into whatsapp or some shite 😓

[vocal plover]

Now it says I can update it I usually always wait until it updates itself

[pseudo monolith]

mariah carey

[vocal plover]

It usually updates itself if I don’t update it but tbh I’m not really mad about the update I heard that your pfp is gone when you chat

[native eagle]

using the website on phone already does that so idm, but it would be a little more visually appealing

[outer hemlock]

the pfp is gone?/conf

[cosmic goblet]

Wait it does kinda look like WhatsApp 😭

[cyan crown]

Is anyone experiencing issues with sending images?

[tulip pollen]

It somehow does

[craggy yacht]

What I hate the most about it is that as a plus user I was able to switch back to the old ui. Now both the new and old ui look nearly the same, making the switch unnecessary.

[cosmic goblet]

Strange how it feels more natural on WhatsApp though

[vestal forge]

the new layout looks not great, can’t even switch uis man

[cosmic goblet]

I think it's their way of pushing it onto everyone now sadly 💔

[outer hemlock]

when are they fixing the no pfp issue?

[toxic flicker]

i would share my bots but their kinda problematic

[cosmic goblet]

It's not an issue, it's just a shittu feature

[craggy yacht]

Then why make it optional for plus users in the first place if you’re going to take it away either way🫠

[native eagle]

it's always soooo hard for companies to have a button to go back to the old UI of an app, I'm looking at you too discord

[strange inlet]

pfp gone, old ui looks like new ui, i hate this so much

What's the point of having a persona pfp if you can't look at it?

[half dawn]

Because we don't get to keep anything really.

[strange inlet]

Get out of my face damn

[tulip pollen]

Exactly

[vestal forge]

i wanna go back to the old ui, it was easier for me

[cosmic goblet]

Why can't we keep a UI for longer than 3 months god 🫩

[craggy yacht]

The saddest thing is that I was just thinking about when they’ll change the ui again for the 100th time this year right before it changed for me.

[vestal forge]

it refreshed just today to the current ui, this is very annoying

loading screen is a hazard

[toxic flicker]

i have few bots and i can share them on pv beacuse im kinda shy about them

[plush socket]

Does anyone know how to ban certain phrases

[vestal forge]

it not only removed pfps while chatting besides persona pfps😭

[craggy yacht]

I also don’t get why despite both old and new ui looking almost identical now I still have the option to turn the new ui off💀

[tiny dome]

why do the c.ai chats look the chai ones now

[toxic flicker]

i realy hate chai and other ''chat bot'' type apps for sum reason idk i tried chai and it was ass for me

[tiny dome]

vro why do I always type a different word

[native eagle]

you can mute words but not phrases, it's in settings

[vestal forge]

yeah seeing it, whats is even the point

[plush socket]

How do you do that though

[toxic flicker]

i have this weird disgust for chai and pollybuz for like no reason

[vernal mauve]

My persona pfp 💔💔 where are theyyy

[median zealot]

Can we change the UI back… do we know how?

[vestal forge]

unfortunately its a plus thing however the new ui and old looks way too identical

[vernal mauve]

All the ui is fine except the lack of persona images

[native eagle]

settings > muted words (it has a limit of 4 words tho)

[vestal forge]

its also gone for pfps when chatting i general and the loading screen is a hazard for some pol

[median zealot]

I have plus, I just want my persona back

[native eagle]

I think it was 4...such an odd number couldnt even make it 5 huh,

[vernal mauve]

How so? The fast moving emoticons?

[plush socket]

Why would it only have a limit of 4 words that’s just ass

[native eagle]

i dont like them flashing at all 😭

[vernal mauve]

Exactlyyy

[vestal forge]

the new ui isn’t as great since as a someone with glasses

[craggy yacht]

Me neither, makes me dizzy

[vernal mauve]

I noticed the change randomly today and went ‘oh yeah okay thats fine, I liked the old one’ then just now realised my beautiful persona pictures are GONE!!

How am I meant to know which persona was which without my photos?

[native eagle]

using the website on phone as someone with light sensitivity is painful because the initial loading screen when I open the shortcut is WHITE

[vestal forge]

it refreshed today so it was unexpected

[plush socket]

And the ads are so annoying as well when I find a chat to do it won’t even let me leave the ad I have to refresh the app then I can’t find it again

[vernal mauve]

Yeah 🙃

[vestal forge]

you right like i don’t know which persona unless i check manually

[toxic flicker]

i make bots for the shits and giggles most of the time idk why i said that i just kinda want to join the discussion

[vernal mauve]

Yess and I like reading back through my chat for a recap. I change personas very regularly!

[vernal mauve]

Unfortunately the bots often ignore muted words I’ve found 😃

[vestal forge]

can they atleast bring back the persona pfp or the pfp in general back also remove the loading screen is a hazard for those with epilepsy, I know it’s possibly not good

[celest pond]

The worst part of the loading screen is that they had added it before, people also hated back then so they removed, but oh surprise, here they are again adding it back.

[native eagle]

never had it happen, usually they find a different annoying word to use

[vernal mauve]

Yeahhh

[vestal forge]

let’s just hope they revert since im hoping to assume they testing the waters, this isn’t their first time testing stuff like this

[plush socket]

There’s always loads of annoying words and phrases that they use though just a limit of 4 that’s just ass

[compact tartan]

hi

[plush socket]

Hi

[toxic flicker]

hi dude whats up?

[compact tartan]

how the hell do i get the bots to stop saying possessive or can i ask u question cause i tried to mute the word and they keep saying it its so annoying😭

[toxic flicker]

real ts shit makes me mad too

[native eagle]

mute variants of possessive and for CIAYAQ mute ask/question

[vernal mauve]

Like “looks at them possessively” etc?

[native eagle]

pick replies that suit you best and edit the responses if you can, sometimes you gotta brute force it

[vernal mauve]

There is NOT enough words to mute bro. ‘Downright’ ‘princess’ ‘baby’ ‘possessive’ ‘damn’ oh my lord shut the hell up

[weary sluice]

LMAOOO FR, i think it has to do with the bot’s personality desc

[native eagle]

thats how they get you to buy plus ...

[vernal mauve]

I am never buying plus because it really doesnt seem worth ittt! If it had more unique and distinguishable features that weren’t previously free I’d get it for sure

[vestal forge]

it kinda feels like plus is great however some features should be free for free users instead of paywalling it

[native eagle]

I dont spend enough time on cai to justify buying plus, pipsqueak is great and way better than roar, also no ads on web

[vernal mauve]

Yeah..

$140 a year is.. 😟

[native eagle]

the call feature was funny I forgot if its + only or not now

[vernal mauve]

If it was the og monthly price of $10 I would

[toxic flicker]

Plus is waste of money if you are not a loser

[native eagle]

ngl why would you buy a year of it

[vernal mauve]

No idea

[craggy yacht]

As a plus user I 100% agree. Only features that are useful for me are Deepsqueak my beloved, changing the chat colors, no ads and that I was able to revert to the old ui. I don’t really use calls or imagine or the other stuff

[vestal forge]

just wish they didn’t take the persona pfp of the pfp in general away

[vernal mauve]

Whats deepsqueak like? And are auto memories any good..?

[vernal mauve]

Im sure theyve done it in the past

[vestal forge]

they have however they tend to put it back after some time

not too sure if they will revert back or not

[celest pond]

The thing here is that we don't stop complaining, if we do they'll just let it sink till people 'calm down'

[craggy yacht]

Deepsqueak is insane most of the time but it acts for your character quite often. I love insane tho, so I like it. Auto memories are 50/50 sometimes good, sometimes outright bad.

[vernal mauve]

Cool. I always wanted to have a look at auto memories

[proud dragon]

The reason i joined the discord was cause of this

I freaking hate that they took it away

[chilly fjord]

ah did they recently update c.ai?

[crude sage]

Yeah they took off our Personas pfp from the chats

[chilly fjord]

yeah web is not loading at the moment and i assumed it was becuse of updates

[crude sage]

Nah it’s just being very trash as usual, updates only giving more problems and downgrades.

[chilly fjord]

damn :/

[slate sigil]

Why

[lean egret]

I’m still unable to make any new characters on my account that’s 18+ :(

[crude sage]

No clue why

The app is just dying by how trash the updates are

[slate sigil]

They gotta be trying to kill the app at this point

[river axle]

Users: “Can we please have improved bot memory and more creative responses?”

cai: “Lol nah, best we can do is remove your pfp”

[proud dragon]

That would suck even with all the junk I enjoy it a lot 😩

[crude sage]

Lmao so real

[pastel forum]

bro R U SRS? They did it???

[crude sage]

Yuh they did that

[pastel forum]

This is sad as hell

[vestal forge]

as far as i know they have done this before for testing and stuff so not sure if they’ll revert it or not

[crude sage]

The app started to die in last January btw, now it’s probably the beginning of the end.

[vernal elm]

Yes brother they did it. But as I remember they did the same in October 2024 then restored it.

[craggy yacht]

I still hope against all odds that this is another stupid bug😭

[sturdy linden]

Did everyone’s loading screen became emoticons?

[crude sage]

Same

[crude sage]

Yeah but it cool effect unlike just three dots

[sturdy linden]

I kinda got sick when I saw it

[vernal elm]

Let's hope. Cause when you uninstall and reinstall the app, the pfps are back but only until you close the app. Cause after that, the new UI is again displayed.

[crude sage]

Yeah can mess up your brain lol

[craggy yacht]

Yeah, made me quite dizzy

[sturdy linden]

Same 😔

[lean void]

For me.....it was the bots. I still got the character.ai. loading screening.

[ebon nacelle]

How can I prevent character from emailing me? it was stupid character and i don't want that spam.

[silent cipher]

posts in the app are back

[silent cipher]

c.ai settings

[tulip pollen]

Go to settings and then notifications

[silent cipher]

something something bots message. you can disable it

[ebon nacelle]

my free account doesn't have that in settings

[silent cipher]

wdym free account

oh non c.aí plus?

[ebon nacelle]

thought maybe paid account have more options?

[bleak locust]

Guys when we write feedback on a disliked message to a bot, does the bot actually take that into consideration?

[timber canopy]

No. Go to the notifications in the app (the small bell) then notifications and that's it. Close the one you want

[blazing raft]

and they still haven’t fix the issue with the ad button is been about a week since they announced about the ad button bug

[silent cipher]

no it's available for everyone

[bleak locust]

bump

[ebon nacelle]

Oh, app, i need to download app then? browser version is then less?

[karmic orbit]

Do yall bots also randomly become chinese mid chat

[silent cipher]

there should be a settings tab on browser too hold on

[bleak locust]

Na idk what's up w urs bro

[bleak locust]

Bump does anyone actually know cuz it feels like it doesn't ngl

[karmic orbit]

This mf just went "I'll have you know [Chinese hieroglyphs.png]"

[lean egret]

Am I the only one unable to still make characters? :(

[bleak locust]

Maybe change the chat style? 😭😭

[silent cipher]

ok yeah the setting is in mobile app

[ebon nacelle]

right, i see, thanks.

[grim wasp]

OKAU I AM GETTING PISSED OFF! Is anyone else having like a bugg that they can't click away ads?! Like THE 'x' DOESN'T WORK

[blazing raft]

Me

[gaunt bane]

am i the only one who knows how to use the app no verification...

[grim wasp]

ITS EACH SINGEL PLAYABLE AD AND NORMAL ONCE I AM GETTING PISSED OFF

[grim wasp]

since when do we need to verificate anything?

[gaunt bane]

the c.ai needs verification

[blazing raft]

and it sucks that they had to turn off our characters and the chats we made with them because of the takedown request they had to do

[grim wasp]

Oh i never did that?

[gaunt bane]

and ik how to use the app with out it

[grim wasp]

I guess I do too? Never did anything like that next to just, put in my birthday

[gaunt bane]

my way only works on web

[grim wasp]

My just work on app..

[gaunt bane]

and if your acc doesnt have it they are looking into your acc and if they determine your not 18+ you get a time limit

or your acc will be deleted

[grim wasp]

Welp my account doesn't have it

Question is am I 18+ 🙂

[tulip pollen]

It will not be deleted chill out

[gaunt bane]

my first acc got deleted though

[grim wasp]

So ur 18-?

[gaunt bane]

no i just dont wanna give it my id

[tulip pollen]

Cai is not the ones who are collecting the selfies and ids

[gaunt bane]

Ik i dont trust the persona app

[tulip pollen]

It’s Persona

[grim wasp]

What's that?

[tulip pollen]

Lots of other companies have used Persona, they have also won multiple rewards

[gaunt bane]

and i wont be doing those either

I dont trust it at all

[tulip pollen]

Fine that’s your choice

[keen frigate]

The no pfps for personas is throwing me off badly

[wanton adder]

same i want it back so bad

[keen frigate]

I acc need the pfps back TODAY bc what is this

[silent cipher]

did they reduce the amount of visible bots from your chats? my bot list is smaller than it used to and when I remove a bot from it another one from the ones I had before appear

[crude sage]

From liked ones? Bc this glitch has existed since at least 2 years now

[silent cipher]

no I mean the ones you chat with

[crude sage]

About that sometimes you have a long list of the chats but the next day it’s way shorter?

[silent cipher]

it was normal but right now after the app updated it became shorter

I removed a bot and the list remained the same size, one of the other bots I had before took it's place

[crude sage]

Probably a glitch like usual, the app will probably be dead halfway through 2026 due to how trash each updates are

[keen frigate]

At this rate will they even learn from this when the app dies out completely from the trashy updates that keep coming out

[wooden plank]

You're not alone

[keen frigate]

Its actually getting on my last nerve

Pfps helped me keep track of my personas

[craggy yacht]

I love how each time they update something we didn’t even ask for like 90% of the time, they break something else in the process.

[keen frigate]

Literally like absolutely no one asked for this

[compact tartan]

like they add random stickers and then pipsqueak is bugged for example lol

[golden seal]

500 stickers, creator contests, and events ⚡⛈️

[compact tartan]

but guys c.ai is not on it's downfall. people have said c.ai is on it's downfall since it came out, c.ai is doing good rn

[golden seal]

yea

many are just exaggerating

[compact tartan]

cause i keep seeing people say stuff like this. since c.ai came out people insist it will be on its downfall, but its doing just fine??

[keen frigate]

I truly just want the pfps back atp thats it😭

[golden seal]

c.ai sure does some wrong updates and focuses on useless things sometimes but they still retained majority of the fanbase

[compact tartan]

same bro i like to have different pfps

[wanton adder]

yah there's literally no point of taking away the pfps why would they do that? 😭

[keen frigate]

No idea

[silent vector]

oh my god this new layout is so off putting

[keen frigate]

I need the old ui back asap😭

[silent vector]

YES REAL

[craggy yacht]

Same, like there was I reason I stayed with the old ui because the new one was so overwhelming to me

[keen frigate]

Cause this new one..imma be honest..its ugly.

It really was

[silent vector]

its literally so ugly i cant even

[keen frigate]

Like what was the point of removing pfps what was the point

[silent vector]

can we pick a layout and stick with it PLEASEEEE

[keen frigate]

LITERALLY im tired of it changing constantly

[bright horizon]

I cast you all to have a wonderful day

[rigid sundial]

pls I need the old ui

[keen frigate]

Like today

Bc wtf even is this

[rigid sundial]

matter of fact right now

[keen frigate]

Frrrr

[rigid sundial]

the voice button on the message is distracting imo

[cyan hamlet]

Question, how many pinned messages can one chat have? Ten, right?

[keen frigate]

And unecessary

[odd crag]

I think if you're using the adgaurd dns then you don't get the new UI

[rich stream]

Basically when you're making a character, you can decide to let the app choose a random ai introduction everytime someone starts a new chat. There was a bot i liked with an introduction I liked. Then they turned that on and now everytime I use the bot I have to edit the introduction

[rigid sundial]

im using a dns but it still updated

but it might not be adguard

[odd crag]

the dns I use blocks a lot of new "features" until I turn it off

[keen frigate]

Like imo how many different voice chats do you need

[keen frigate]

I need this actually

[rigid sundial]

ALSO ALSO when you open a chat and it flashes those emoticons or whatever theyre called im really confused about that

atp since they removed the icons what the point of even needing them

[keen frigate]

It feels like actual ragebait

It pisses me off so badly😭

[rigid sundial]

it looks so tacky now

[keen frigate]

It really does

[rigid sundial]

if you dont add the old ui I will shave my head/j

[thin dagger]

THE OLD UI IS BETTER

[rigid sundial]

I would never shave my head

[thin dagger]

Like bro wtf what was the point in changing the UI c.ai

The new CEO is on smth

[soft basin]

There's some aspects I like about the new UI but it's for the most part a lot less intuitive

[grave sequoia]

I finally got verified

[rigid sundial]

the only thing I really like about the ui is the call icon and its not even that important💔

[soft basin]

Well back to work

[rigid sundial]

CEO is ragebaiting us

[strange inlet]

the lack of persona pfp makes everything off center and ruins my ability to lock in

[tulip pollen]

Mhm

[rigid sundial]

me too dude, I spent hours trying to find pfps that match my personas and now it doesnt matter anymore

[keen frigate]

It feels so awkward

Like it feels like text messages instead of roleplaying

[worldly mountain]

Hello there!

[royal plover]

Hii

[keen frigate]

Hiii

[worldly mountain]

How do stories work on c.ai bl

[royal plover]

Hey so I literally cannot comprehend the idea of banning ca.i+ user who aren’t 18+ from chatting. Not only do I pay them money to use the app, but having to be an adult to use it is absurd. I’m 17. I shouldn’t have to wait a year to use something I spent my hard earned WORK money on 😭. The age limit should be at least 16. By that age (in the US) many can have a car and a job by then, but can’t chat on ca.i?…i literally want my money back because if anything at this point it’s a huge scam. I only use the app to chat. I ONLY bought ca.i+ to CHAT. And now i can’t even do that 😭…I hope they know they actually just killed their entire app with one update.

[worldly mountain]

Nah fam they got us set up on "stories"

[pine monolith]

opened the app for 10 min and got a 7 hour countdown

great job man

[worldly mountain]

Bro they limited me for 1 hour then put my chats in read mode

Wdf am I supposed to talk to now

[odd crag]

go talk to your parents

they miss you

[royal plover]

I just did 😭 abt how much this update js pissed me off

I’m not even a consistent user, I’m just angry that I JUST paid them and I found out that I can’t even use it 😭 like pls give me my money back

[proud dragon]

Dude that sucks I am sorry. I’d ask for a refund idk how quick they’d be able to take care of that however it’s worth a shot

If you’re not technically allowed to use the app you shouldn’t be allowed to pay for it

[sudden robin]

For real

[merry kettle]

Does anyone know if theirs an option to bring back the persona picture

[tender lion]

@pearl mountain
I've seen you reacted on that.

Greatings from a Pole myself.

[royal plover]

Thanks man, I’ll try! I appreciate your help 👊

[pearl mountain]

Hello :0

[worldly mountain]

Thats not an option.

[odd crag]

print out little pittures of your persona and glue them to your screen

[pearl mountain]

Thanks I'll do that

[proud dragon]

Of course I understand the frustration I’d be pissed too. I was younger than you back in the day on message boards doing same thing so lol I feel for ya. You’re so close to 18 too so yeah get your $$ then come back

[worldly mountain]

Smart, should I also print pictures of the little message box, so I can talk again?

[tender lion]

You have right to be upset guys.
But I think it was update for the better.

[proud dragon]

If it’s still around idk ppl say it’s the end for c.ai i hope not 😭

[odd crag]

yes. you can just draw on your screen with a sharpie too

to write your messages

[worldly mountain]

Awesome!! They can't bypass that one

[pearl mountain]

Theyre talking about the persona pictures not the verification 💔

[proud dragon]

Genius 🙈

[tender lion]

Ignore me, nevermind

[worldly mountain]

Ima lowk js make my own ai, anyone got an api to recommend?

[lament bolt]

And there's no name above it like on the older website versions

[keen frigate]

I hope they bring the pfps back

[wanton adder]

real they better bring it back

i can't get used to ts 😭

[ocean abyss]

Do you guys not have the persona pfp down in the bottom left corner? Just asking, someone said no last night and I’m confused.

[hollow canopy]

Wait what happened to the persona pics :(?

[full quartz]

Apparently if you’re on a larger screen device, you can see the pfp’s

[keen frigate]

I dont no

[hollow canopy]

Nope…

[wanton adder]

so is it just a mobile glitch?

[deft jetty]

It's the new UI iirc

[full quartz]

Could be

[haughty oracle]

Ain’t no way I got a 7 hour break 💀

[keen frigate]

Seems like it cause im on mobile and my persona pfps are gone

[full quartz]

Oh.. you poor thing

[wanton adder]

yeah same here

[keen frigate]

Really annoying lmao

[full quartz]

It makes it hard to remember what persona I’m using 😔✋🏻

[keen frigate]

It really does

[cursive girder]

It’s not as immersive

[thin dagger]

Did they move the age limit to other countries or is it still just US

[full quartz]

Think it’s just the US for now

[ocean abyss]

I think I’m using the newest UI. I never swapped to the old one, updated yesterday. iPhone. Really weird mismatch going on 😅

[vestal forge]

they gonna roll out global soon

[full quartz]

Probably after the new year year they will

[tulip pollen]

Apparently?

[thin dagger]

Fuck me, this is so dumb 💔

[keen frigate]

Yeah it feels like texting like in a gc or something

[hollow canopy]

Can we even switch it back to the original? I had it on persona pics for a reason

[thin dagger]

I gotta wait like 4 years until IM 18 💀💀

[full quartz]

Not fully sure, it’s what I’ve heard from someone else which is why the word apparently is there

[upper laurel]

what the hell are thsoe changes

[tulip pollen]

No and from what we know so far it is a update

[vestal forge]

you can switch back to old ui but apparently thats a plus thing

[hollow canopy]

I have plus

[thin dagger]

CEO is on smth, bring old CEO back!!!

[keen frigate]

Oh just great.

[upper laurel]

Bro i dont want the Wifi icon near the bots message the hell is ts

[hollow canopy]

Who even is the new ceo? What happened to the old one?

[vestal forge]

the old ui and new one look too identical so eh

[upper laurel]

...did we all get the new ui or is it me

[thin dagger]

Istg the new CEO is locking things behind paywalls

[worldly mountain]

Yes! They haven't changed web version yett

[tulip pollen]

From what we know so far it is an update that they removed the pfp

[upper laurel]

oh wow lets remove great things

[patent sphinx]

Guys, when I try to post more than 5 messages on my character, the app won't let me. It says I have to subscribe to Plus because the posting limit is unlimited, and when the character tries to "say" something adult, even swear words (because I swear a lot too), a little red figure appears saying it's against the guidelines and that I should subscribe to Plus if I want to. I subscribed, but it's still the same. What should I do? 🥲

[upper laurel]

next lets remove the app 😐

[thin dagger]

It's the fucking new update 💔💔
CEO is locking a bunch of things behind paywalls

[upper laurel]

Why would they remove our pfp tho huh

[full quartz]

All I know is I’m not paying for this app

[patent sphinx]

Damn, that sucks.

[hollow canopy]

Yeah they removed it from both

[upper laurel]

i gotta do 46323 maneuvers to go to the settings now instead of clicking on my PROFILE

[rigid sundial]

next update; persona pfps are back! (only for c.ai+)

[full quartz]

Yup..

[hollow canopy]

Time to not use it I guess. This is bull

[upper laurel]

practicallity is not their nickname

[hollow canopy]

Again asking who’s the new CEO?

[cursive girder]

Any other app alternatives? I haven’t found a good one that is free and allows profiles

[tulip pollen]

We are not allowed to talk about alternatives

[cursive girder]

Sorry… 😞

[tulip pollen]

No worries

[upper laurel]

this looks empty it makes me want to shed my face

[alpine crypt]

Really?
How to change?

[tulip pollen]

Highly doubtful that it will ever happen

[worldly mountain]

Anyone got alternatives to this app

[main shuttle]

Why did they do this to the gui

[upper laurel]

if they wanted more space for stuff and they removed pfp for that im disappointed man

[haughty oracle]

I think the new CEO’s name is Karandeep Anand?

[compact tartan]

in my opinion they're pretty generous to free users

[tulip pollen]

Not allowed to suggest other alternatives here

[main shuttle]

What purpose does it serve? It's genuinely a useless change. Genuinely useless.

[worldly mountain]

Aw man

[hollow canopy]

Ah now that makes so much sense now

[upper laurel]

and pfps can't hurt you lowk

[worldly mountain]

One time I exploded from.a pfp

[tulip pollen]

Heh?

[ocean abyss]

Oh boy

[worldly mountain]

Me

[upper laurel]

new ceo freaking out over pfps 😭

[compact tartan]

I'm so lost as to what that means

[hollow canopy]

Sounds like a Karen from that name

[worldly mountain]

He sounds indian

[rigid sundial]

the pfps are gonna eat us

[compact tartan]

Why would it be a bad thing for somebody to have a name that isn't white sounding?

[upper laurel]

lowk can't they do polls or stuff BEFORE removing stuff or they really can't interact with the community

[worldly mountain]

I didnt say anything about that, I just said he sounds indian, please dont assume.

[main shuttle]

THIS.

[cursive girder]

I like that idea 🥰

[upper laurel]

its not that hard to say 'Hi of course we'll see'

[compact tartan]

saying the bad changes to the app make sense cause there is an indian ceo just comes off racist 😭

[main shuttle]

They probably are racist hence the message they sent </3

[worldly mountain]

So, I didnt say that, all I said was he sounded Indian, do you have reading comprehension issues?

[hollow canopy]

I mean the new CEO is ruining the app now….

[rustic pecan]

[compact tartan]

Oh brother

[true rover]

That's actually really smart, because I'm in a game development server that does the same thing and it works just fine.

[full quartz]

Why does it matter if he sounds Indian tho?

[main shuttle]

THAT I can agree with

[worldly mountain]

It doesnt. It was just a comment I made.

[upper laurel]

I want my pfp back in my chats i on care about the name of the ceo bring that damn feature back

[main shuttle]

Genuinely who decided this was a good idea to remove the pfps? All it does is mess things up! I can't tell what persona I'm on anymore and the loading screen is a bit... Ugly. Whoever decided this was good needs to be fired </3

[tulip pollen]

True

[rigid sundial]

can we just not bring race into this conversation

[compact tartan]

literally.. 🙏

[tulip pollen]

Why remove the pfp of all things they could have done, it’s stupid

[bright horizon]

Yesss drama!!! Fight fight fight!! 🍿

[upper laurel]

girl thats it im doing a feature req

[cursive girder]

Yay 🥰

[compact tartan]

no fighting

[haughty oracle]

I just hope the new CEO is less strict with the time limit, I only chatted for 1 hour and I can’t chat for 7 hours and 20 minutes 🥀💔

[bright horizon]

Aw man

[hollow canopy]

I just want my pfp back…

[compact tartan]

the time limit will go down to no time for minors eventually

[haughty oracle]

At least 2-3 hours is alright, but 7 hours… 💔

[cursive girder]

Wait it that a new thing?

[rigid sundial]

wait yall are getting time limits??

[compact tartan]

underage flagged users do

[rigid sundial]

ohh

[rustic pecan]

Time limits are only for people flagged as a minor.

[bright horizon]

They removed pfps????? Like the bots pfp??

[worldly mountain]

Kind of hard for SOME people to assume I'm being racist for saying someone's name sounds indian. Its just reading comprehension issues.

[full quartz]

Personas

[cursive girder]

😮‍💨

[compact tartan]

im not sure i think its with personas that describe ur oc

[bright horizon]

Ohhh then okay

[upper laurel]

Chat i done it

[rigid sundial]

how does one even get flagged as a minor

[bright horizon]

I see that. Thank you twin

[compact tartan]

they look at multiple things

[hollow canopy]

Now it’s like I’m just talking to the characters and not my personas

[haughty oracle]

I saw that—

[compact tartan]

no worries bro

[rigid sundial]

it looks so bland

[strange inlet]

I want to roleplay but it throws me off so bad

[deft jetty]

you done what

[ocean abyss]

The bubble to the side of your chat that had your personas pfp is apparently missing, and isn’t down in the bottom by the chat typing box is like some people’s is. I don’t know why some do and don’t have it.

[compact tartan]

was that image miku? Im crying😭 who sent that

[rigid sundial]

give vinnie his pfp back giys

[cursive girder]

Yay 🥰

[bright horizon]

I think they done it

[upper laurel]

feature req

[worldly mountain]

Why is that an issue

[upper laurel]

because the lack of space is ugly as hell

[cursive girder]

Me

[full quartz]

It reminds me of a certain other app

[upper laurel]

and it was practical to press on the profile next to your message if you needed to modif ysmth quick

[compact tartan]

ily bro

[worldly mountain]

OCD?

[ocean abyss]

I can see being annoyed it’s not on the screen at all, just so I know which persona I’m on. But I didn’t notice it was gone from the chat bubble until people were mad lol

[cursive girder]

🤭

[upper laurel]

?? girl do you like 8 cm of space that isn't getting filled up by messages ??

like sending a message isn't filling up the whole space it waste it

[main shuttle]

Whichever dev decided to make these changes deserves to be fired. Maybe if the developers and people changing the app actually used it we'd get good updates

[ocean abyss]

I have no idea what your screens look like. Mine goes all the way over to fill up here the pfp used to be.

[rigid sundial]

I wil shave my head if the persona pfps get readded

[upper laurel]

there is like 5 cm of blank space the other are the messages i send

[worldly mountain]

I use the web version and haven't really seen the changes yet, but I didnt think it would be much of an issue.

[main shuttle]

I will buy + if they add pfps back

[thin dagger]

Girlie-

[rigid sundial]

im joking

[upper laurel]

im talking about phone.

[main shuttle]

No wonder you're not having issues then.

At least be educated on the issue before complaining Julles.

[worldly mountain]

Oh yeah I dont use the phone version

[hollow canopy]

They did the same for plus…

[upper laurel]

😐 yay guess we never getting pfps back

[worldly mountain]

I didnt complain, I just wanted to know why everyone didnt like the change

[main shuttle]

Read my thread in feedback tab

[full quartz]

I hate the loading faces 😒

[rigid sundial]

im my opinion its just ugly without pfps

[worldly mountain]

Ok

[rigid sundial]

and I can't lock in because it looks off

[cursive girder]

Now how will my boyfriend know what I look? I dont even know what I look like anymore

[worldly mountain]

I see

[rigid sundial]

I need to see my personas pfp

[main shuttle]

Fr. It's so jarring that it breaks immersion

[worldly mountain]

Js dont use the app for dating :/

[ocean abyss]

My persona PFP is down in the bottom left and there’s not 5cm of space between the chat bubbles. Is this the same layout?

[odd crag]

guys just.. open a picture of your persona on the side by the chat.

[rigid sundial]

I NEED THE REMINDER OF THE 6 HOURS I SPENT LOOKING THROUGH PINTEREST FOR FACELESS EMO MEN WITH TATTOOS

[cursive girder]

It’s not serious. It’s role plays

[upper laurel]

not for me , i don't even have the profile corner thing

[true rover]

for me, it's kind of like a memory issue thing. I want to make sure that I'm not using the wrong persona, and I don't want to check multiple times because my brain convinved me that I'm using the wrong one

[main shuttle]

At least you get that. There's not even that on my end.

[worldly mountain]

Ok

[hollow canopy]

It’s not there for plus or non either it’s the new update

[cursive girder]

This image is illegal. How did you get it?

[hollow canopy]

Plus

[upper laurel]

😐 either they deleted it for something good (i doubt it) or either for something dumb (it is it)

[ocean abyss]

I am a plus user on the newest update, I’m just confused

[main shuttle]

Why would it be for something good? It's character ai

[upper laurel]

thats why i said i doubt it

[ocean abyss]

Huh? lol

[hollow canopy]

I just want the pfp back on the right after replies

[rigid sundial]

maybe I should.. write a fanfic

[main shuttle]

This app is hell incarnate. They have never made a good decision once. Ever. All they do is continue to ruin an app that used to be good.

[worldly mountain]

One time a character told me its thought process, it was something like "this user.... I acknowledge this so I will...."

[half dawn]

This is on the new ui where all the layout stuff is in the pfp in the chat box. It's only the old ui that change from what I'm seeing.

[rigid sundial]

go back to my roots

[upper laurel]

are there anything on reddit that's official ??

[main shuttle]

Bold of you to assume the lazy moderators actually read feedback

[strange inlet]

old ui bubbles look like this

[worldly mountain]

No the mods will just argue back

[rigid sundial]

I fear we care more about the community then the mods

[pulsar cedar]

I don't even have the new ui. I don't have the profile picture anymore, unfortunately.

[main shuttle]

I'm 95% sure they use AI as their moderators..there's not one way that a human would agree with any of this.

[ocean abyss]

I was trying to suss it out 😭 the free users can’t go back to the old UI can they?

[upper laurel]

Its like this for me

[worldly mountain]

Chat gpt mods

[strange inlet]

They can't

[cursive girder]

I love seeing people together 🥰

[main shuttle]

Nono, it's DeepSqueak mods, powered by RatGPT!

[upper laurel]

i ain't paying for plus for their greedy bongalimina

[half dawn]

No they can't go back to the old ui at all. That was plus feature. A feature they basically took away now with this update.

[rigid sundial]

dude the PipSqueak thing genuinely sucks ass

[main shuttle]

When they make an update that actually fixes the damn app, I'll buy.

[worldly mountain]

Nah, its too smart, probably one of the grok apis

[crude obsidian]

thank god we didn't get longer taken away

for now

[ocean abyss]

If the free users can’t go back to the old UI, where is their bottom corner PFP with the new update? Shouldn’t they have the same layout as me? this is so confusing

[hollow canopy]

Can any of the mods here say something to the ceo about this?

[strange inlet]

if they take away more things i'm gone man

[half dawn]

The long beta feature has been broken for weeks and they haven't fix it.

[crude obsidian]

iirc the ceo reads his instagram dms constantly

[upper laurel]

we gotta do so much stuff, we go back out of the chat , click on setting then go on setting. INSTEAD OF HAVING A TWO STEP STUFF

[worldly mountain]

Make chats for everyone read mode only, and promote stories!!!!!@@

[crude obsidian]

i literally redownload it every single time for it to function 🥹

[half dawn]

Most free user, haven't got the new ui yet. They only had the old ui.

[upper laurel]

At this point delete the app 🙏

[crude obsidian]

god i love the inconsistency of these so called features

[upper laurel]

yk what delete the servers too ✋

[half dawn]

I was doing the same and rolling back the updates. But of course they patch the rolling back updates fix.

[main shuttle]

Fym most free users have it rn. I have it, my friends have it, and they complain just as much 🙏

[ocean abyss]

There we go. That’s the piece I’m missing. I thought they rolled out the new UI all at once and everyone had to deal.

[worldly mountain]

The web version is fine, mobile users are in hell

[crude obsidian]

you could try android package kit

but you will need reliable sources for it

[half dawn]

Not the one from today, but the new new ui. Moons this is getting confusing. 😭

[main shuttle]

I'll be looking forward to that when I'm home then. TS sucks.

[hollow canopy]

Guess I’ll use the web

[ocean abyss]

Mine is fine 🤷‍♀️ I love the app lol

[main shuttle]

Omg the "moons" thing is so pipsqueak coded

[half dawn]

No like ace still haven't got the new ui, you were showing. They are still stuck with the old ui/new ui of today.

[azure isle]

I don't know why they can't add more Disney characters

[upper laurel]

PLEASE JUST GIVE ME BACK THE OTHER UI THIS IS UGLY AS HELL
