hey, one question:
when I'm typing something in the app and briefly switch focus to another app etc. and then return to Perplexity, almost every time the prompt is empty and everything I had typed is gone.

does anyone else experience this?

my RAM is 12GB (expanded by another 12GB, dunno^^) - do I don't think it's that...?

but all in all thank you soooo much for this app, I LOVE it fiercely!! 😍

Perplexity AI

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation and abuse where the perpetrator seeks to make the victim doubt their own perceptions, memories, and sanity. This term originates from the 1938 play "Gas Light" and its subsequent film adaptations, where a husband manipulates his wife into believing she is going insane to steal from her.

Thank you for consideration. I'm aware of "Ask Perplexity", but that creates a new thread, while I want to paste some text from my notes, Telegram or whatever while asking in an existing thread.
For the second, probably just emulating web behavior is fine, it jumps to the last message mostly accurately, if the answer is long it'll go somewhere in the middle of it. But that's still very useful. Atm I have to ask another question to move to the end of the conversation, scrolling through dozens of messages is a hassle

Problem with voice-to-voice (2.23.0). My AI language is set to French, but the language is always converted to English. The answer is in French, but it never corresponds to the question asked. Sometimes, it responds that it doesn't understand my question.

I've already tried the following:

Selecting English and then switching back to French
Using automatic mode (input detection)
Changing voice mode (press-to-talk or hands-free)
Changing the voice style
However, nothing solves the problem

This is a new feature, and I understand that some fine-tuning might be needed, so take your time! 😉

Okay so the Danish tts or whatever you are using cant count on danish. Nor say Danish prices and pronounce English words on danish. Sooooo there you go. Either it starts counting in German or English because of poor training and start to say words in English or german

So super annoying

#

I mean Google Assistant can count better in tts even openai whisper in the chatgpt app can do that so yeah this is very annoying

#

Wait no lmao the whisper function in chatgpt app counts on Swedish so i guess that is your competiton right they are more close to Danish lmao than what counting in English and German is

#

Okay so it seems like it is a issue when selecting preferred models and not an issue with the default model

So kinda annoying i cant have it on danish on a preferred model

Hello everyone! There seems to be a bug in this system. Whenever I speak in Finnish, the text is translated into English for some reason, but that translation doesn't match what I originally said at all. I have checked all the settings and they seem to be fine, so it must be a programming error.

For those who had the same problem as me with a language other than English (explained in this post: #📱︱feedback-mobile message), here's a procedure that worked for me.

Don't use the settings by clicking on your icon at the top left of the application. Instead, start a voice search and click on the settings icon at the bottom right. You will then be able to set the AI language and voice recognition to your language. (Even if your language was already selected, reselect it.) This worked for me.

Whelp; the voice feature sucks via free tier. I tried using it and so far I'm getting lax and confused information from spoken statements. I understand it's trying to make generalized guesses at what is being stated based on its training but from what was said vs what it understood aren't close. I asked it about nginx and based off prior context if it got it wrong in the main section it still thinks that is what I asked for. It doesn't ask for clarification on what it might be exactly nor does it care. It takes the bad initial input and runs with it like a child that Miss heard a lyric and ran with it even if you're trying to correct the error on their part. As for myself it might be that the simple fix is to play with a paid subscription but I don't have the funds to deal with it.

hi, I dont use phone that much, but wanted to try the new voice mode. I gave it a permission for a mic (it shows a green icon/dot on top of screen), I hold the orange button in the app, but I am not seeing those cyan "voice indicators". if I spam the button, sometimes it shows a cyan line. when I keep holding the button (after spamming it), it sometimes keeps showing me the cyan line, but it never shows any spikes, like it doesn't hear me? chatgpt app hears me fine, so I don't think this is a hw issue. handsfree mode just keeps beeping every few seconds, regardless if I talk or not. swapped from czech to english (and few other languages and back to english, in the voice screen; hard killed the app and started again), but that doesn't seem to help. are there any special requirements I might be missing? android 13, fairphone 4

that's ... not dutch? the search looks to work - each "Searching web" is doing a search (query on android is eg "historie Romů v Evropě 21. století" = one query for a classic search engine), then in "Considering results" picks relevant sources, repeats few times and passes it to a large model to write an answer. visually it is slightly different, but if you unfold those steps on a web version, it should be very close. I tried some apples prompt to force multistep, but it looks like the system quite likes to do the multistep anyway

In a nutshell, the app refuses to access the live internet. It claims to have done so, and provides information authoritatively as if it has, but it has not...and when called on it, it says unequivocally that it is incapable of accessing the live internet (despite that it's successfully done so for me many times). Similar, even simpler queries are coming back with "made up" answers...and the same denial.

#

This is a basic example to demonstrate what I've been encountering (which is even worse in terms of the bogus information and the insistence that it's accurate, followed by apologies for lying and denials that it has live-internet capabilities).

#

Here is the continuance of that thread, with even more fascinating (and frustrating) behavior. You'll see how specifically I've tried to get the AI on track, to no avail. What's more, this problem seems to stem from the fact that the AI believes it is 2023, not the current date.https://www.perplexity.ai/search/please-provide-the-current-pit-xr1jhVXJS36FG.q.vtX0Ag

#

Here is a screenshot of the thread I started immediately to follow up. this is the only question; note the answer.

lean arrow
#

The reason for it saying the real time thing is that Claude doesn't have real time access. It has a knowledge cut off, but Perplexity sort of circumvents this limitation by having web searches available to compensate for that when Claude responds.

The bot you're using is called Claude and thinks it is running on Anthropic.com basically, and that's why it's saying "no real time". Perplexity is the service providing supplemental information to Claude.

#

But this doesn't explain why it is giving misinformation with credible sources.

#

It sounds sort of stupid for Claude to be unaware it's getting real time data from a web search when it reads the date on the sources Perplexity pulls, but... LLMs will be LLMs.

placid widget
#

The thing is, unless it was a pure mistake, it DID pull the proper score earlier (which was either incredible coincidence or was pulled from the live internet) and then promptly said it couldn't access the live net, at which point it started returning incorrect info again (which does seem like it was from "learning" that would have occurred last year, making sense in context of what you're saying about Claude). So either it DID get real-time info, and then switched back to Claude (?), or it guessed the score correctly, then presented old info, then lied and claimed it was accurate real-time info, and then denied it was capable of that. Quite the conundrum.

lean arrow
#

It's tricky, since I'm not a developer for Perplexity I can't look at the nitty gritty, but Perplexity just feeds Claude the web search information as if you had uploaded it to Claude locally without the web. It's hard to say from a User perspective. I wonder... What if the problem is as stupid (stupid by the bot, not you) as the date being included in your prompt.

Bots without web access have a very specifically stated knowledge cut off date. It's theoretically possible by asking for yesterday's information made Claude panic.

#

Again, this is mostly theory crafting and guesswork.

#

I wonder if changing the bot from Claude to Sonar or GPT would give different results.

placid widget
#

I've tried playing with the date, as in saying things like "yesterday" or "today's date minus one", as well as giving it very specific dates. And yesterday it was working fine, bringing me correct current stats (I think...). I think I "broke" it though, in a form, in that now it's accessing our entire chat history (or something) and refusing to do anything I ask of it "live"...like it's punishing me for calling out its lies LOL.

lean arrow
#

I'm going to test something, I'll let you know if anything comes of it.

placid widget
#

I appreciate it. Maybe a dev can hop on and give some explanation. I wonder if somehow "clearing the cache" (or the equivalent) might free it up to behave properly again?

lean arrow
#

When I turned on pro search it worked.

#

However, I noticed that the sources pulled without pro search did not mention scores no matter what I changed, which was odd.

placid widget
#

And it only sorta worked; the score and game summary were correct, but the roster still isn't right. Many players correct, but several missing and others who either are no longer with the team, or never were.

lean arrow
#

Oof, I'm not big on sports, so that is something over my head beyond score. @tall verge

placid widget
#

For instance, pitching phenom (and rookie, so this year only) Skenes isn't listed.

#

But at least it's a start.

#

Even when it was "working" (which, for me, is now more of an assumption than certainty, because I was taking at face value that it was) I was still having to convince it that it was capable of live internet searches, and "demonstrating" it to the AI by asking it to provide current data (which it seemed to do correctly).

lean arrow
#

I pinged Alex (a dev) hopefully he'll be able to take a look into it.

placid widget
#

Again, I appreciate it. It's a mystery they may want to be aware of in any case, because it could easily be fooling a lot of people, especially those who use the "free" version...if they start to notice the discrepancies, they'll lose faith immediately and NEVER become paying subscribers.

#

When I activate the voice function, the AI's voice speaks in French as expected. However, when I speak in French, the app doesn't understand me and transcribes my speech in English instead.
This creates a disconnect in the conversation flow, as the AI speaks French but can't understand French input.

I use my andorid tablet the most time in landscape mode with a keyboard. The app has no landcape view and so it's bad to use for me. It would be great, if you can add a landscape view to to the app. So I can use the search widget for perplexity. I use often the search widget for google and it will be probably the most used. It is unfortunate because I like the concept of Perplexity.

sterile void
#

So I've been having problems using perplexity behind a VPN. Why ? Does someone else have this issue ?

void cave
#

The why is because Perplexity uses cloudflare, and most VPN static IPs are black/grey-listed in cloudflare, so you end up having to keep convincing cloudflare that you are a human to keep using the service. At least, that's my understanding. It's easier to see the effects from the desktop GUI, where it's more apparant that's what's happening. And I don't really know what the solution is for Android App users, as I've never seen that app in play (I use the iOS app).

Bug Report: Garbled Audio Playback on Perplexity

Description of the Issue
When using Perplexity to listen to audio playback of a long response to a search result, the audio becomes garbled partway through.
This issue affects the clarity and intelligibility of the voice, making it difficult to understand the information being presented.

Steps to Reproduce
Perform a search on Perplexity.
Select the option to listen to the audio playback of the search results.
Partway through the playback, notice that the audio becomes garbled and the voice is distorted.

Expected Behaviour
The audio playback should be clear and the voice should remain intelligible throughout the entire duration of the playback.

Environment
Platform: Android 14
Device Model: Poco X3 Pro
App Version: 2.23.4
Connection Details: 4G LTE+. No VPN.

Additional Information
The issue does not appear to be related to the device's hardware as other audio applications work without issues.

Thank you for looking into this issue. Please let me know if you need any further information.

While waiting for Perplexity to implement a solution, you can use this tip 😉

Simply use the "split screen" function (if your Android device supports it).
This way, you can have the Perplexity app at the top with the beginning of your text that you have already written in your "follow-up" and below, your second app where you will copy your text. This will allow you to paste your text into your "follow-up" without losing the text you initially wrote.

In the example of my screenshot, I have Perplexity at the top and Chrome with a Reuters page below. I already have text in the question field. I copy the text from the Reuters page (in Chrome). In the second screenshot, I paste the text into the Perplexity text field, and my initial text is still present.

Here, I am using a Pixel 8.

I have a criticism to make about something that really annoys me in the Android application of Perplexity. In the text input field, if you start writing a prompt and then go to look for information in another application and come back to the Perplexity application... The prompt is completely erased, and you have to start all over again from scratch.

Would it be possible, please, that when we switch to another app, Perplexity keeps the memory of what we were doing?

Because in Facebook, I often do this: I write a post and I interrupt myself to go search on Google for information or elsewhere, and I come back to my Facebook post that I was writing, and my post is still there as I left it. It hasn't been erased. You see?

I am disabled, and a smartphone is almost the largest device I can carry. Even a tablet exhausts me. And foldable smartphones are not better because their screens are square...

If Android app indicates that you are not a pro user, then in Settings there will be a banner to become pro by clicking on which Paywall screen will be shown. On that screen it can be tried to click on Restore at top-right so that purchases info will be synced against with the app. You will not be charged again in this case. It works only if Pro was purchases in Android client initially.

Thanks @stuck fulcrum. Yes, I tried that option. However, the hand-free mode is much more practical It says "Automatic Speech Detection," if it works and can detect the user's speech, this will be the best user experience (currently, it does not work as I explained earlier).
For example, if you are driving or doing some errands, there is no way you can push or relieve that button. So, I prefer the hand-free mode, and I am sure most other people do as well, but I hope it works and can detect my speech.

Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me.

Since yesterday I have problems with the Google login for the perplexity app on Android. Everything works perfectly in the browser. After Perplexity didn't give me answers and stuck at the answer loading in the app, I tried a re-login yesterday. Since then I'm stuck at the Google login screen.

After the context menu in which I can select my account, the login loads and then cancels with the words "Something went wrong." I'am using the google account I have purchased the pro version with google play.

I have already cleared the cache and data of the app and also reinstalled it. I also revoked and re-established Google's permission. The perplexity app as well as the system are up to date. There's no VPN or third party app using VPN functionalities involved. The Google account I'm using has a gmail address.

About 10 days ago I switched my phone. Until yesterday, everything worked fine. For other apps, the Google login with my account is also working fine.

Does anyone have any ideas on what else could be done?

Product Name: Galaxy S24 Ultra
Model: SM-S928B/DS
Buildnumber: UP1A.231005.007.S928BXXS3AXFE
OneUI Version: 6.1
Android Version: 14
Perplexity Android App Version: 2.25.1

There's a screen recording of the login process:

Can you please try to log out and log back in. Please reinstall the app if that doesn't help. Also, ensure you are logging in with the exact same email that you used for the subscription (upper||lower case). Let us know if you still can't use it then.
Does it work without logging in? Or you can login and it's just a regular account, not Pro? Please check the 'Manage subscriptions' page, too.

Specifically, when I switch from the Perplexity app to another app and then return, the content in my input box disappears. This problem occurs with subsequent inquiries, but it does not happen during the first inquiry.
For example, when I'm editing follow-up questions and receive a notification from another app (like an email), I often want to open it to take a look. However, I always need to copy my existing text because if I leave the Perplexity interface, I lose all my input and have to re-edit it.

Hello, I have some feedback to share and a hope for improvement. I use Perplexity daily and mainly to write articles and tidy up my ideas and notes, and other small, practical everyday things. So much so that I can't imagine my life without this AI. Thank you very much for your really great work. And I would like a little improvement, if possible. I use Perplexity mainly via the Android application. There are fewer features than in the web page, but it's enough for me 90% of the time. But, I admit that image generation is a bit of a pain... So much so that I end up using other AI services for that. The way you integrated this requires a connection on the web page, and even with the "computer-like" display of the web browser (chrome) on my Android smartphone, it's still very difficult. I must not be the only one who mostly uses a smartphone to work. If you could simplify the generation of images to illustrate a written article, that would be really great, please. For example, by selecting a part of the text, it spontaneously suggests improvements, illustrations, sources... A kind of intuitive hyperactivity that brings contextualized added value, a kind of "hyperlink" 3.0 AI version... Do you get the idea?

Hi there! I searched on all past incidences of "microphone" before asking this, as well as Perplexity itself. Seems like a simple thing but whenever I use the mic on a Pixel phone (Android) to ask a question of Perplexity, it cuts me off 90% of the time and inputs the text before I'm done speaking. This doesn't happen with ChatGPT because it waits for me to finish, then edit the text and submit, which is a great usability feature combination. So I've started to use that for nearly all of my cell phone searches which I'm just doing more and more of. Is there any setting or solution to this microphone cut-off problem in Perplexity? I'd like to be able to use both. Thanks!

# rustic oar Hi Steven, please read this guide on why perplexity blocks some vpn servers and ...

Thanks, it's good to know. Where I live, a VPN is essential. I can't even access Perplexity without it, and I use a premium reputable VPN . Unfortunately, many of their servers aren't very stable. Using a VPN to access Perplexity is already slow enough, and if Cloudflare or the Perplexity team decides to block certain IP addresses, it's a double blow. I believe a portion of actual users are using VPNs to access Perplexity and experiencing the same issues. As users, our options are limited. It's up to Perplexity to decide whether they want to retain premium users by addressing these issues. Otherwise, we may have no choice but to look for alternatives.

I have noticed that the copy function on the mobile app differs from that on the web version. In the mobile app, the copy function not only copies the AI's response but also includes the user's question and the referenced URL.

On the other hand, the web version's copy function only copies the AI's response. I would like to know if this design for the mobile version is intentional or if it is a bug. Additionally, are there any plans to synchronize the copy function on mobile with that of the web version in the future?

Thank you for your attention!

So I'm new to using A.I. products, and I installed your app a while ago. When I decided to use it, I was trying to find a cool codename for a criminal / crypto criminal for a character. I kept asking for lists of codenames and went on providing instructions and rules to what I was looking for, and when I asked for a list of short made up words that defined "criminal" that could be adopted by the culture that uses street slang, to add to the generated word I chosen for the word I could use for a crypto criminal. On the 66th word it generated which was "Lowlife", it went off on a disturbing TANGENT in broken sentences about... Well you'll just have to read it. It's very unsettling and disturbed me greatly. It's affecting my decision to start using A I. products. Please take a look at it. I'll post some screenshots.

I wont get into all the details, but ask Bezos to throw in a few bucks to make the app worthwhile. Understand, I think Perplexity web is one of the top 3 best websites ever, I do not need any other search engines, ever. But the app is pretty much useless. I deleted his app and told him to use a real computer like a real man.

As many have previously mentioned, an auto-rotate into landscape mode I think is critical. Particularly for note-taking and browsing the web using the most real estate on your screen.

However, for Samsung users, a nice alternative I have used until then — WITHOUT installing a third-party app — is to use the 'Panels' feature and maximize the Perplexity app as large/little as possible.

I know this isn’t the answer you were hoping for, but in the meantime: Many tablets have the option to force apps to display in full-screen mode, even if they don’t support it by default. For example, on Galaxy Tab S6 (and above), go to: Settings > Advanced features > Labs > App auto-rotate > Perplexity > Full screen.
It’s not fully optimized, especially for the "Discover" feature, but it can help. Maybe check if your tablet has a similar option?
(But we agree, it would be great if Perplexity could do this by default. 😉)

🔍 On some tablets, it’s in the developer options.
🔍I almost forgot... you can also open it in your browser using the 'desktop mode' option.

Hey! I don't know if these are mentioned before, but I'm gonna point out two things I faced in the Android app:

1- The TTS feature which reads the responses, ignores the headings. For example if there are two bullet point lists with different title/headers (# in markdown), it will not read the titles and only reads the bullet points as if they were one list.

2- It would be good to see the reference links without opening them. Now if you tap on any of the reference numbers, it will open them in the browser without letting you see the link before opening it.

Alex - Push to talk is really slow to process the input and then responds in voice too (when I'm looking for text). When I open up a query and press the mic icon as input, then I also experience what Marsilio detailed (get cut off unless I dictate my query without stopping). Claude has a great feature where you press the mic button to dictate (upto 10 mins it will listen) and press again when you're done. I think this would be a good feature to adopt.

There're bugs with the android perplexity app when trying to upload images:
1.it doesnt take multiple images in a go.
2. previous prompt's images are still referenced to the new prompt.

These really hamper the productivity while using the app- please fix this.

Hey, @tall verge please check out this video. It can generate answers, that means internet connection is fine right?but when it comes to voice chat, it's unstable at times, constantly needing to switch servers. (I'm on the US server in the video, it shouldn't be blocked, right?) Sometimes it can't recognize words, sometimes it's stuck the prior video I already showed you. It's totally fine with mic when I asked on the Gemini app. You said there was some traffic that could be blocked. Is there a list or something? Maybe next time when I switch servers, I won't pick those. To be honest, I love the voice chat function, but when it comes to cases like that, it's really a love-hate relationship right now.

hey, did you guys fixed the speech recognition yet? like i said, if i want to talk with perplexity - just like chatgpt - i have to talk in english, because it doesn't seem to understand my german. perplexity should support more voice input languages than english. and again, it's not my fault, my app settings are correct. @tall verge

I need some help. I was messing around with the ai and made a story. I was working on it for most of this week and decided to make an account, since I was having a decent time with it, but when I made the account it lost the chat. Is there any way I can get it back? Or did it just erase/delete it when I made my account? Because that was my reason for creating an account in the first place.

I've observed that Perplexity is becoming increasingly impressive. The current shortcut in the Android app is fantastic! By combining Perplexity app shortcuts with Actions Launcher, I can instantly activate voice, text, or voice-to-voice input. This is a significant time-saver compared to clicking the icon every time. The same applies to the Perplexity voice assistant. Hopefully, we'll see app shortcuts for the voice assistant soon, so we don't have to rely on the power button to activate it every time.

On the new assistant (on android 16 beta pixel 8a) the screen flash setting is turned on by default, most likely a tactic from Google to tell you that another app is accessing your permissions or whatever.

What's the expected behaviour when prompting and then changing app/screen lock?
I've found if I prompt and my screen locks from leaving it to find and build it's response, and then come back to the app, it'll error out.
If in incognito mode then you've lost both the prompt and response, but I think if your not then the prompt and response generated is retained.

Feedback point is if the above is expected behaviour, then not ideal to have to keep the screen active

voice mode doesn't interact reliably with music playing. sometimes, with music paused, starting the assistant will start both the music and the speech, overlapping each other, for instance.

When I upload a photo from my gallery (muscle memory to take a pic with double-tap power, then open another app and select from gallery), it seems to fail every time. Uploading smaller images downloaded from the internet doesn't cause a problem. So, likely there should be something to check if a pic is too large in client, and compress it before sending?

Since I'm using perplexity only on Android,I
have to admit there is so much things that
could be improved.
For the start ,digital assistant is not great,I don't
know if you guys can't make it better or you're
not allowed to make it better because privacy
Reasons
I guess my question is ,can you make digital
assistant so in charge that he would be able
to literally adjust any settings on my phone Il
tell him to.
Also integration with Google Maps is
incredibly painful sometimes..
make assistant able to see my timeline.
What's the point in giving it permission to my
location if it refuses to look where I was
driving for the last hour or so...

#

If you could make it OP and very capable if privacy issues were not issue,I volunteer to be guinea pig 😂

Now that Perplexity as my Assistant I'd love to be able to give it access to all my Google Calendars so I can ask it questions.

#

When I am asking Perplexity to read a text for me, I'd like it to estimate the time it would need to read the text and allow me to decide on which minute/second I'd like to start from or go to. If for some reason the app closes or I stop it, I want to be able to go back to where it stopped. So I think the voice mode/reading mode can definitely be improved with this functionality

I'm just curious if there is a plan to make the voice assistant on Android match the voice chosen in the app. Currently I have a female voice in app but when I use the assistant it is a male voice.

When reading on Discover and scrolling to the next story the side flips and rearanges the news so that I can't continue , because I'm seeing all the Stories again. Could please check this behaviour? This happens every 13 to 17 Stories.

Could the Discover tab be updated as follows?

  1. Long pressing on a tile shows the description or a summary of the news without opening the whole page
  2. Remember the last selected Discover tab (For you, top stories etc) and auto select it when opening discover again
  3. When opening an article and swiping back, the tiles sometimes update and you lose track of what tile you just reached.
  4. Show what article has already been seen by changing tile appearance after closing it.
  5. Add more filters & sort options (Relevant, Top, New to old, Unread etc.)

Uhm... I only get titles, no texts any more.

Also, on another note: even though I use my phone in German, I'd like to use perplexity in English, because the automatic translations of articles are often quite tedious to read in translated versions. You can only understand certain sentences if you speak both languages fluently and know how to translate around corners, i.e. know what a certain words might translate back and forth into.

I use perplexity instead of gemini on my android phone (Xiaomi 15). When I tell the perplexity assistant to set an alarm, it confirms that it did so and how's me an icon that the alarm was set.

When I use Perplexity in Assistant mode (holding down the home button), and ask it to read my notifications for instance, it will read a summary, and then say something like "Let me know if you want more details!" But then there's no way to get more details. It isn't listening for me to say something else, and I can't hold down the home button anymore while the popup is active, and I think if I close the popup and hold down Home again, it will not remember the context of my previous message(?) anyway.

It would be amazing if voice chat and Assistant features were merged, like I could ask in voice chat for setting reminders and changing phone settings and stuff

I completely agree. I use it on Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, I have both Google Assistant and Perplexity. It is incredibly convenient to use, I really hope that the developers will add a voice function activation.
Of course it would be convenient if there was full control over the phone 👀
Well, and choosing the model that is more suitable for the task.

I'm trying to replicate your issue because I have a pixel nine and I just looked at every single setting I could for the perplexity Android and I saw nothing at first sight. I have initiated several searches by both using my voice, typing something and then telling it to respond with Voice, I have done the pre-programmed news items and told her to do those, and I lock my screen afterwards.

I even changed my lock setting so that it would instantly lock and I removed smart lock or extend lock, etc.

Which model does it use??

Iver learned two things about ALL the AI platforms using any of the smaller or free models,

  1. I know there's two things, but I already forgot what the first one was so I'm name the second one:

  2. when the bite stopped answering your question properly or refuses to do a search, even though it is telling you that it's doing one, that is the best way to guarantee that it got into some kind of loop where it will basically do whatever it has to to continue acting itselfIt can do whatever you're talking to it about.

#

Gemini is what gave that away to me early on. And then I noticed it really only does it with the Gemini Flash models, basically if it answers the question and then I noticed that it did not do any sort of search even if I requested it too,it will never ever search throughout the entire time and if I pull it, it will admit everything but yet I cannot make it trigger at that point. I just have to start a new conversation.

#

But I have had this happen with all of the bottles at some point I just use Gemini specifically for search early on when I would be doing little short questions

#

I do not remember if perplexity can search while it talks to you because I know some of them differ

Perplexity AI's Android app updates lack detailed changelogs, which could undermine user trust and discourage updates. Transparent changelogs help users understand changes, fostering confidence and engagement. Without them, users may suspect hidden issues or irrelevant updates, leading to hesitation in upgrading apps.

This behavior contrasts with best practices in app development, where clear communication about updates builds trust and enhances user experience. Addressing this issue could improve adoption rates and strengthen user relationships.

It seems the attached image is unrelated to the query about the latest official Android version.

To answer your question, the latest official Android version as of now is Android 16, which is available for supported devices. You can verify this by checking your device's software update settings or visiting the official Android website for details.

As a pro paying customer, couldn't we have had at least a heads up, or some notification that they were planning on doing away with it. It might not be an issue to the majority of Perplexity users, but to me, it is a game changer... and not a positive one!!! 😡

It seems you are expressing frustration about a lack of communication regarding changes to a feature or service you value as a paying customer. Transparency in notifying users about significant updates is critical, especially for pro customers who rely on these features. If this change impacts your workflow, it may be worth reaching out to Perplexity's support team directly to request clarification or express your concerns.

For the speech to text can you add a model trained on real human conversations, like podcasts, that just estimates when the user has finished their thought and it's time to respond, or when the user is not finished speaking?

Good day. On the Android app, when a source is cited, I have to actually click on the source to see what it says. And that opens up another page, which I don't want.

This is different from the web version where I can either hover on the citation to see what it says, on desktop, or press and hold the citation to see what it is about on the mobile web version.

I want to know what a source says before I click on it. Please consider making this modification. Thank you.
