You're welcome, I just bought Pixel 8 pro and left S23U.
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!! 😍
The mobile team is working on this, it'll be improved soon.
Why does this only use the system default language? Wouldn't that be better to be open for all installed languages on the smartphone
It would be nice to have the ‘Read-aloud feature’ on the pages too. (Android)
Changed place because it concerns feedback-android .... 😉
Thank you for your feedback! We are working on it!
Thank you for you feedback! Could you DM me links to problematic answers? We will take a look at those. Thanks in advance!
Can y'all implement Whisper speech recognition system on android? It's like a 1000 times better at understanding words then the default one
- https://www.perplexity.ai/search/Suomen-vaakuna-meU6M_6jQ4yTry2R46UfFA in Finnish. The tts is skipping all the headers and the number 1580 is completely messed up
- https://www.perplexity.ai/search/what-is-gaslighting-ju5FAaBfSpqBP5ec0nq8mA in English. Same thing, the headers are skipped
Suomen vaakuna on Suomen valtion virallinen tunnus, jota käyttävät muun muassa tasavallan presidentti, valtioneuvosto, ministeriöt, korkein oikeus, Suomen Pankki, puolustusvoimat ja Suomen ulkomaanedustustot. Vaakunan syntyhistoria on osittain tuntematon, mutta sen tiedetään esiintyneen ensimmäisen kerran Kustaa Vaasan hautamuistomerkin jalustas...
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.
- Man...
Please add "service is currently offline, see Perplexity Discord for more information" or so to the timeout-message (after you submit a query or try to open your threads or collections in your library).
new audio read aloud feature is awesomesauce. but can it please:
- keep playing when i switch apps
- work for the discovery(/news)
Thank you for your feedback! We are working on it.
When is incognito coming to the app?
Would the android app UI be developed in landscape for tablets? It's annoying to have to always use in portrait mode all the time on my tab
I don't know what's going on. I ask the chat to translate one of the news stories into my language from the news that is on Discover. But he says there's no such thing as the above.
It's as if he's not seeing the news story. And there's no use sweating and going back in
Apartment the problem is not only in the noble version
Could the perplexity android app be able to be recognised as a search engine by the android system? I search through Sesame, which detects those, but it doesn't detect your android app, and due to the problems I have with the web version #🌐│feedback-web message I don't like using perplexity on my phone at all.
As an option, we have shortcuts and widgets for similar interaction on Perplexity App. Wondering whether those can be used?
I strongly miss the ability to stop/cancel a search/response in the Android app. Often the response is enough and I want to tell a follow up questions (or want to correct my input).
Thank you for your feedback! We have it our plans and it will come in future release. Let us know if you have any other questions / concerns / ideas.
Can we have "pull down to reload" (or something similar to reload). When I switch from website to app, I need to restart the app so it fetches the most recent threads.
Thank you for your feedback! We will consider pull-down-to-refresh. For now, when you change tan (for example, from Library to Discover) new selected tab content is being refreshed. You can try to select Home/Discover and then Library again and it should refresh. Let us know whether it will work for now as well as if you have any other questions, ideas and concerns!
Thanks for the update. Can confirm that switching tabs works for now.
Wow! Pretty nice update. Searching and text generation from online sources is much faster now on Pixel 8 pro!
Thanks!
Even ChatGPT-4o is faster
Those do not show up in Sesame's quicksearch apps (whereas twitter and brave do).
The shortcuts are nice, but not quite what I'm looking for.
What also would work for me is if the perplexity android app offers to open perplexity search links.
.... oh that's already a thing
yet it never opens the perplexity app when I type in a perplexity search in the address bar
I came across the sports unrated and I have been wondering the same thing for a while. Like the op said it's been more than a month since the launch of this feature for iOS but still not available on Android yet.
When will this feature be available on Android?
It started working normally again. Thanks for the job well done.
Please don't forget about this bug, plenty of people have mentioned it and it's quite important imo.
Also, having a button to jump to the end of a thread like in the web version would be very nice
Thank you for your feedback!
We are working on a fix for the 1st issue. As a workaround, for new queries text can be selected in other apps and shared with Perplexity via additional actions (3 dots) by clicking on "Ask Perplexity".
As for 2nd suggestion - to jump to very end of last answer or to the beginning of last answer?
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
It would be nice if I could have perplexity rewrite an answer using the free model. It would be faster than copy pasting my question
Do you mean something different than the rewrite button?
No I mean the rewrite button. But currently, all the options for rewriting are Pro only
Sonnet 3.5 still not available for android?
Hey, @severe oar! The model is available on the Android app if you choose Claude Sonnet 3, the interface will be updated later.
Hello community, does anyone know if Claude 3.5 in Android is already available?
@stray haven the interface mentioning the name isn't updated to say 3.5 yet but it is the 3.5 sonnet
Is there any good reason these are still hardcoded? Surely an extra api call to grab the current names won't hurt
Would be really nice if Perplexity app support landscape mode for Tablet!
That would be a really great change for Tablet! - It feels really weird to use the Tablet as portrait mode.
I forced rotate the Perplexity app in my Tablet. It works well, but except the Discover tab, I see half of the card like in the image
But unlike in the older version (2.18.0) It worked well with tablet (with force rotation)
Voice to voice on perplexity is now available
Sounds a little weird in Portuguese.
Do you know, if only english is supported for the input language? I have tried it in German, but it always converts the spoken word into English, even though I get the answer in German
I fixed that by changing the language to English and changing it back to Portuguese.
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! 😉
Please please add this awesome Android 14 feature to the app as soon as possible. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/app-languages#auto-localeconfig
Previously, this feature worked for me, but for some reason, it is not working now. It catches only a fraction of the words, but still in Portuguese for me.
I have issue with the voice mode in the app will only take English inputs but if i set the main language in the app it speaks in fx my language which is quite annoying
Yes, the 2.20.0 update with the Read-aloud feature for answers worked well with different languages (#📱︱feedback-mobile message). It's the new voice-to-voice feature (2.23.0) that's causing the problem.
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
So here is me counting on danish it should sound like this and not like this. Is the difference obvious? Lmao
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
Like proper danish
And i have to choose the default option
How it should sound like using other models in perplexity
Train the tts a tad bit better lol it seems it tries too hard on some words and stuff using the default model
Its like it is switching languages
So weird
can we have shortcuts for specific collections? Like, when you press and hold the app icon it shows a few shortcuts that you can pull and place on you home screen, so I'd love to have collections appear there. Or even if it's implemented as a 1x1 widget
I see another issue: some answers are incomprehensible or perhaps in different language.
I have English set for both questions and answers. But asking what is two plus two renders incomprehensible answer.
there's some problems with code blocks in the android app
can't scroll properly, been like this for a while
Is there incognito mode in Android?
Thank you for your interest! Not yet
I was using the push to talk microphone option before for free but now I can't anymore
Would be cool if you could select voice to voice as your default assistant on android for quick access
Great, thanks very much for making my life harder
This is exciting. First note: the voice chat does not handle saying the temperature very well. 73 degrees F sounds like 73 degrounf or something nonsensical.
Is there an option to change the language for voic2voice? Mine does only understand english, but i talk german and it also answers german
Also it doesn't seem to be as good as google assistant or anything like it at capturing voice. It always gets something wrong and misunderstands me on voice to voice
Or at least the option to change the language doesnt change anything
I use my AI profile like its chatgpt custom instructions, makes Claude very chatty, sometimes with asterisks, and those end up being read by the voice too. Would love being able to set a different profile for voice.
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.
If the mods want more information about this problem, I can explain in more detail via private message. I can send screenshots etc.
You can use it but only after query got opened - voice input button stayed there still
Oh ok
Could you DM me screenshot of voice settings screen (bottom-right icon on voice-to-voice screen) and share a link to a thread with voice-to-voice session? All voice-to-voice session results in threads which later appear in Library.
Yeah. Sorry for making it not clear. For now, voice to voice can be started only on main screen. In other places like query input, follow up to a thread / page and new thread / "+" button on Library still have voice input option.
When I talk german text seems to try understand english. Answer frok perplexity is german.
There is a separate option for speech language in settings for voice to voice. Wondering whether desired language was selected there? If it was, wondering what voice-to-voice mode was used: push to talk or hands free?
I want a push to talk widget
I reselected german and its working now
Thank you for your feedback! It is in our plans! Let us know if you have any other questions or ideas!
Awesome thanks, sorry for brevity just wanted the idea out lol
which model is the voice using? the one i'm setting?
Is it normal for voice mode to take this long before responding?
Fixed the issue for me too
Unfortunately only for standard german. Swiss german stays english :/
Just a quick question. Does the "5 queries left" on my free account mean 5 per day of 5 total?
Please also add version number to the app itself, that when user taps on profile icon in top left and then scrolls down all the way, that it displays version number there aswell and not only in the Android app settings.
Please highly prioritize major bugs that are already reported since over half a year (example https://ptb.discord.com/channels/1047197230748151888/1201317209557975172)
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.
I thought this was used whisper for voice to text. But it's not. This is very bad for small language users...
Guys, the voice recognition doesn't recognize what I say in my (French) language. He answers me well in French, but what I say is not understood at all by Perplexity.
Here's an example where I asked him orally in French, "Tell me about the coconut," and this is what he heard (see picture).
Regardez deux posts au-dessus du vôtre, je propose une solution à ce problème. (Vu votre question, je me permets de vous répondre en français 😉) #📱︱feedback-mobile message
Merci beaucoup mon ami
Thanks for the report. Could you please share details of your phone model and version of Android? It will help a lot with troubleshooting. Could you also try to switch to Hands Free Mode in Voice settings (icon at bottom right on voice-to-voice screen) and let us know whether it is reproducible? Thanks in advance!
5 queires / voice answers per day.
It doesnt respond to which language model is being used and I can continue a converstation.
But would say pretty decent
It was significantly faster with hands free
I'm running on Android 10 (Huawei Mate 20 Pro)
Does not work in german. The text I speak inside in german do not get a proper translation and so the response is also not worth it. so work in progress have fun to solve the issues 🫡 Google pixel 8 newest Android version.
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.
I also have a Pixel 8 Pro and it works as expected in French, have you tried this ? : #📱︱feedback-mobile message
Doesn't understand German
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/let-s-get-this-actual-earth-so-TlWYzBG9QgGRr23Mlqhncw
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
The language was forcibly set to english on the first try even when the UI was saying Finnish. I toggled to Swedish and then back to Finnish and now seems to mostly understand Finnish ok
There is an issue with the voice that after talking for a long time becomes cracked or changed completely pitch
Voice to voice session are being added to library. Could you make that thread sharable and share a link to it to troubleshoot?
Also, it would be super great if the voice recognition system was multilingual so that I could help myself with my mother tongue or using English when trying to speak Japanese. That would be veery cool! A very nice way to practice speaking and listening in another language.
Where I can found a new search on Android?
It should be working when you enable the "Pro" toggle (under "Ask anything..." text input). I mean the agentic search (multi step search). Not sure about the code execution, that stopped working for me on web and never saw it on android app.
Yeah, but I don't see additional generated queries
Within one session I can use both Dutch and English. Pronunciation leaves some room for improvement, but useful already!
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
Sorry did not work for me
Please examine the following thread for a problem I'm suddenly encountering. For additional info/context, please see the "general" chat I just concluded, where I give a better accounting of the overall issue (which started yesterday, but is REALLY "stuck" at this point).https://www.perplexity.ai/search/please-provide-the-current-pit-xr1jhVXJS36FG.q.vtX0Ag
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
This contains the entirety of the conversation, so you can skip the first link as it's included here.
Here is a screenshot of the thread I started immediately to follow up. this is the only question; note the answer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm going to test something, I'll let you know if anything comes of it.
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?
Yep
Alright... Some interesting news @placid widget https://www.perplexity.ai/search/what-is-the-roster-for-the-pit-yNa7Z3SFSM2T53QnTy0I4g#0
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.
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.
Oof, I'm not big on sports, so that is something over my head beyond score. @tall verge
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).
I pinged Alex (a dev) hopefully he'll be able to take a look into it.
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 listen to results via the headphone button my phone screen locks after x minutes and it stops playing. I cannot resume from where it cut off but only start from beginning. It should keep the phone awake or allow background playing
I miss a scroll to bottom button. When I select a lot of text and pick "Ask perplexity" from context menu, it opens the app and I need to manually scroll down a lot to see the response. Alternative would be to start the scroll position on the bottom.
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.
Hey, @viscid breach! Could you please check if French is set as the default Speech recognition language in your Voice & Language settings? You can access those settings when you start a dialogue.
Hey Alex , yes it is
Could you try switching that setting to another language and then back to French. That should help
Awesome it worked ! Thanks for the fast help !

I have the same issue with German voice input. Tried changing language and change back. But don't work for me. It always tries to detect English voice input. If I speak English to it, it properly understands me. But the goal is to speak German with it.
Thanks 😉
I still don't have that update in Google play
I still see only 2.23.0
#📱︱feedback-mobile #1140622008086970420 I am a Pro subscribed user. And I am not able to use Perplexity for Image creation or design of any kind . Even tho it says there are 3 languages available. Why can I not get this function?
please add a button for threads for acces v2v mode...
Perplexity continues to develop its mobile applications, so it's possible that image generation will be integrated directly into the Android app in the future. In the meantime, you can use image generation on the Perplexity website in the browser on your Android device.
Hey! It would be really cool if you could add the V2V feature as an Android Digital Assitant, that way I could use it with the android assitant shortcut instead of google assistant
This feature has already been put forward many times
Great to hear that!
Unnecessary buttons in widget...
Two different places ("ask field" and "perplexity logo") trigger same action : tap to ask perplexity. Why not a button for incognito search and another for classic search?
Could you fix it? I got the same Problem
Yes. The solution is to use the additional settings menu just for the voice assistant mode, that is hidden and bad UX wise
Where can i find it?
Ah got it after you hit the speech button...
Thanks alot!!!
How to replace it with the Google assistant?
It's not officially possible but maybe there are tips, I don't know
Hi, y'all, are we gonna bring whisper V3 into app tts/stt or what?
Google tts literally not let me think for a bit.
Thank you for your feedback! In settings for voice-to-voice (icon at bottom-right) Push-to-Talk mode can be selected - with that listening your voice input will start upon pressing on MIC icon and will stop upon releasing it. Let us know if you have any other questions, concerns and/or ideas!
Yeah,I tried, but I do think like to read answer is a better experience, and I assume like push to talk/ voice to voice still use Google's tts, the accuracy is no where near whisper V3, is technically possible to replace Google's tts with whisper in perplexity's android app? And also with the voice shortcut launch, perplexity can be my voice assistant 24/7 everywhere.
Unfortunately the app tries to understand my words in english even though i am talking in german. the assiatant then answers in german and says that it does not understand my english words. i set the app to german. Why does the app try to make english words out of my german words?
#📢│announcements message not very good at recognising questions in a language other than English. Switching from English to Czech and back helped, but even when I try to pronounce it accurately, it doesn't recognize my questions properly. I find GPT a bit better at this.
Speech recogniser has a separate setting for speech language. Wondering whether it was tried to set German there?
Yes it was. I was able to fix it by setting it back any other language and then back to german.
Thank you for your feedback! Glad to see it working! Let us know if you have any other questions, concerns or ideas!
Having a visual glitch on Android. When I move to another app, do something and then come back the response text is gone and everything is white... until I start scrolling and then it's back rendered correctly.
Hey @tough ibex! Could you please share a screen rec with this issue. We'll check
It's not deterministically reproducible. It happens here and then, when the Perplexity app is a long time in the background.
Frisurentrends der 80er Jahre
Great question for https://pplx.ai ☺️
Was able to record that issue. Resumed Perplexity after screen turned off.
Oh my gosh,Is this the new look? When you select specific words, the color is white? Lol
Good job, great work, lmao
The 'dark' system interface does not have this problem.
Can you please try light mode?
Yes, I've just tried it in light mode and it also works. (If it helps, I'm on version 2.23.3 of Perplexity.)
Thx, on the same version and I've tried to reinstall and it didn't work, probably simply my phone's issues.
Did you try it in another app to see if it worked? (if not, maybe restart your android device)
It's absurd, it only happens on perplexity, whether it's dark mode or light mode,and I tried on other apps, it's working fine.lol
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.
So I've been having problems using perplexity behind a VPN. Why ? Does someone else have this issue ?
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).
Switching the hotspot/location or the VPN provider usually helps.
Hey @gritty solstice! Could you please send me your device/os details, we'll check.
Thanks,My phone is running on HarmonyOS 4.2 from Huawei.
Seems like it's not possible to generate pictures in the Android app. Maybe that's not implemented yet?
Thank you for your feedback! It is not implemented yet. Let us know if you have any questions, concerns or ideas!
I have a suggestion, when sending images the model always stays with that context, is there a way or
could you add a way to remove the image or images from the main context?
Maybe something similar like in pc you can remove certain links that were used when looking for a query.
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.
Thanks for reporting, @quartz spruce! The team is aware of this issue, we've had some reports about it. We are working on fixing it, thank you for your patience.
Seems like a bug: I open a collection, then an existing thread, and start to type a follow up question. Then I switch app to copy a text from another app. Then I open Perplexity again, and now it has forgotten and removed the text I was typing (and hadn't sent yet)
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.
Please add the ability to remove sources on Android.
Smart! Thanks for the workaround!
Can we get the android widget to start the voice mode in perplexit when tapping the microphone instead of starting google voice to text?
Thank you for your feedback! We are working on it! Let us know if you have any other questions, concerns or ideas!
I am unable to to log in into the android app using email option. After choosing email I get information about code being send to email. In the email there is code but after clicking the button instead of app logging it the link opens in chrome/firefox on my android device and proceeds to web version instead. In the app there is not even the option to enter code manually like on desktop pc.
Try to follow these steps or try to copy the login link and paste it into a incognito tab of the browser.
No difference. Link still loads web version in android browser.
did your browser prevent the intent? which browser you used?
I used Mi browser - default for the OS, chrome and firefox. other apps work with login from link to apps but there are some that don't and this one seems to be the one.
Thank you for your feedback! Login via code on Android will be available in coming release. Let us know if you have any other questions, concerns or ideas!
Thanks.

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?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the feedback, @rare harness! Please check the workaround MyDpi shared, and afaic, this will be addressed in the next release.
is this related?

not familiar with android dev ...
Hello, yes, I've seen it. I've tried screen sharing for other applications, but the problem is the keyboard. As soon as the keyboard appears, it covers almost the entire application in the lower part of the screen. It's practically unusable; I never use this feature. 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...
I don't think so; I believe it’s just the Perplexity app on Android that needs to be fixed.😉
It works as expected in version 2.25.1 👍 Thanks!
That's why owning a Pixel is superior
Hello! I'm having difficulty trying to get the pro-version start working
The payment worked fine but it still acts the same
Thank you for your feedback! Wondering whether there is PRO text at the top of home screen? If not, could you try to restart the app and/or re-login into it?
I also have the same issue but I’m iOS. Have tried logging out and in same issue. Please see iOS support channel for details on mine
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.
When I do voice chat, most of the time, it starts to answer before I finish my question and constantly interrupts me!. Users should be able to interrupt the voice chatbot instead of the other way around. Please improve this. Thanks
@tall verge @glacial shell
This was a waste of money. Maybe when they get their android app updated where you can do the things it says . I'll consider looking at another Pro Version Subscription.
Until than - Cancelled!!!!
Thank you for your feedback! There is an option to pick Push-to-Talk mode for voice-to-voice. In this case app will start listening when button got pressed and will stop listening when button got released. To make use of Push-to-Talk mode, there is Settings icon at bottom-right when this mode can be selected.
Let us know if you have any other questions, ideas or concerns!
In the notification setting "daily discover threads", please also add a menu "daily discover threads curated by Perplexity team", so that we users can disable daily discover threads notifications for any curator apart from Perplexity team itself.
Please allow users to change back to the pre-2.25.1 icons on the bottom of the app. The new icons are suuuuper awfully confusing to understand.
Hey there! 👋
I'm having some trouble trying to get the Perplexity Pro subscription on my Android. Even though I've updated my payment info, I keep getting this error message saying "transaction was declined."
I've double-checked everything, and my bank says there are no issues on their end. Any chance you could help me figure out what's going on so I can get my subscription?
Thanks a bunch for the help! Looking forward to hearing back from you soon.
Cheers!
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.
Thank you
Hey, @calm hatch! We've got some reports about this issue with Google Play and cards from Brazil. As far as I know, we don't decline aany, could you ask the Play Store's support team about this case? We'll investigate it further, too, thank you!
I've sent it. As soon as I get a response, I'll post it here. Thank you @tall verge ! ❤️
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:
https://youtu.be/OXk2NLe4qBQ?si=watbOzjPE2y9M4YT
Thanks in advance!
Quick update: After doing it all again (delete cache and data, revoke Google login) and restarting the phone afterwards everything seems to work fine.
I'll keep this post open for others to see.
Thank you for the details! We have released an option to login with help of short codes. For that, start login via email and short code will be delivered to your inbox. Let us know if you have any questions, ideas or concerns!
Small detail, but I'd love if there was a landscape option for android! It's espeically helpful for tablets, thanks.
Hi. I bought perplexity pro subscription as it said it can generate images but in fact it does not. Any suggestions? Thanks. Leo
Great! I'm going to see that
It's alive!
It's working!
Youhou!
Thx a lot Perplexity staff 😘😘😘😘😘😘
I had similar problems. Switching language forth and back to German obviously fixed the problem.
I just bought subscription on phone, but when i open app i cant use pro version. Whats going on? You took money from account
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.
And it's been like this for a few days now. I have a paid subscription, but I can't use the full functionality of the app. Another problem concerns the web version, look in the corresponding section of the server.
Tried with and without VPN. Cleared data and cache. Reinstalled the app. Everything was fine a few days ago.
Pixel 4a, Android 13
@tall verge hey. Is there a solution?
How long to wait for a response on this issue?
Thanks for reporting, @radiant linden, our mobile team is working on a fix for this issue.
Thank you, how soon can I expect results?
Should be updated soon, will surely be fixed in the upcoming release.
Does anybody think we need to integrate whisper V3 into perplexity's app? I'm torn between Chatgpt plus(voice dictation and advanced voice) and perplexity pro,(pro search is just something else)
This issue should be fixed now, @radiant linden 🙏
Yes, I confirm. It's working now! Thank you.
What was the problem? On the server side, as far as I understand, not on the client side?
Don't understand the french by vocal
click on share button should (?) also automatically copied the url
After logging in, it keeps showing an error message saying "Please try again," and I can't log in.
But it works fine on the web version.
When publishing discover pages in notification bar (current example is https://www.perplexity.ai/page/kroger-s-controversial-ai-pric-yYXqe_z4SkOZq62JYBnVUQ ), please please make sure it is very understandable in European countries aswell, by mentioning in a short sentence what it even IS (In this case "Kroger, a ...... company (??), has....."). Thank you!!!
Thank you for your feedback! Wondering whether you are referencing voice-to-voice mode? In such a case, in settings on voice-to-voice screen Speech language can be configured so that voice regnizer will be informed about preffered language to be detected. Let us know if you have any other questions, ideas or concerns!
Good idea! For now it triggers Share Popup which has an option option to copy url. But we can make this feature 1 click shorter. Let us know if you have any other ideas or questions!
it didn't worked.
Did it few days ago
Hi team, I'm unable to upload a document. Always getting please try again later, could you please help me out
i think this was mentioned before but it still exists: the input field in edit query disappeared after accidentally clicking outside
Can someone spot the issue? 😆
💀
bruh
Why is that?
I want to know why I can log in and use the web version normally, but I can't log in on the Android app. I'm unable to log in! I downloaded the Android app from the Google Play Store. Could it be an issue with my VPN, or is it something else?
Could you please try switching the hotspot/location and let us know if you are still facing this issue.
Alex, is this because my phone?
Only on perplexity app
I guess, @gritty solstice, the selection is visible on my devices.
Which device is this one?
It was like a month ago.
Only on the Perplexity app; it never happened in the other apps
Hello!
On the Android version, but might not be restricted to android only, the FAQ says that we can upload up to 3 files/day on the free version of the app, but that is basically false.
Please correct your FAQ or actually allow us to do that what the FAQ says.
Hey there, just a small feedback to give us some way to scroll through our chats when using Android app.
It is very hard to go to top or bottom when I am in a in a long chat and want to switch context a little bit.
Hey @warped harbor, are you talking about the documents or image upload? Image upload is available only to Pro users. The 3 file uploads should work for free users if you are talking about the text docs.
Yeah. They are not working
can someone please tell me what's the brief popup thingy is for, if it disappears before I can read it ?
this
but it only appears for a moment
This popup is there so that if you are using Perplexity on a PC, you can see the source when you hover over the citations.
Will be removed on mobile soon. Sorry for inconvenience!
mobile app doesn't work on pc tho?
this is the app, not the website
Yes it's a bug
I would've liked it if it's kept actually, e.g. long press to view the popup
Hi, is it possible to turn discover in french ?
Hey, @cedar zealot! #💬│general message
I really need a "scroll down to the bottom" when I reenter long threads.
Also it's very intuitive to edit the prompt. As a user I would look for a button near the prompt at the top. But actually I find it at the end of the response.
For some reason the audio feature doesn't read the story beyond 4 paragraphs. It just stops after the sources part https://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-penrose-process-OypBJwelTc6A530BezjYhg
I can see only 4 paragraphs there (intro counted separately). What paragraphs do you have after 4th?
It never reaches here
Can you make the audio read even if the screen goes blank? I mean if the phone goes to sleep. Similarly to when you listen to music.
We are working on it. Will be available on coming release. Let us know if you have any other questions, ideas or concerns!
Listened twice till the end. Could you DM me your account email and we will troubleshoot it more details. Thank you for your feedback!
On mobile devices, whenever you exit the input state, the content in the input field is cleared.
Is this a bug or is it designed this way?
Wondering whether it is Edit Query functionality or follow up input? There were some updates for follow up input in 2.26.1.
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.
I am not able to upload files from Android, it takes me to the subscription page. Whereas from my laptop I am able to upload. I haven't even exhausted the daily limit for it. Please help.
I second this
Hey @spark galleon! Please ensure to update the app to the latest version. This specific issue has been fixed in v. 2.26.1
Hello. I have downloaded perplexity on my android but it just dont give any answers. I deleted perplexity and downloaded it 3 times and didnt fix it. When I use it using web browser it works, the problem occurs only on app. It worked on my phone 3 days ago but I formated phone, and now doesnt work. Any ideas how to fix it?
Could you DM me your account email? It will help a lot with troubleshooing.
Why does the android app not allow both a pdf and a text file attachment at thr beginning of a thread?
Thank you for your feedback! It is in our plans to support multiple attachments. Let us know if you have any other questions, ideas or concerns.
Come on guys, we need perplexity to be our voice assistant, let's make it happen.
Let's replace Gemini, its search and refuse to answer are so bad rw.
@stuck fulcrum @tall verge
Bei mir hat es geholfen, die Spracheinstellung auf Deutsch , dann auf Englisch und dann wieder auf Deutsch einzustellen.
Hey nice update, on Android, can you please add voice preview option while selecting a voice model. Currently I don't see any way to check what the voice sounds like before I start using 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?
Thank you very much for detailed proposal! We will review it internally. Let us know if you have any ideas, questions or concerns!
Please store threads + pages in phone cache so that it also is available offline. (Open a library thread. Then close the app, turn off internet (wifi/mobile). Then launch app, try to open the same thread as before. Infinite loading animation appears. (I know library content is stored in app cache due to detailed observation). Bug appears on Android 13 and 14)
This request is based on my over half a year old post here #1206837498475577354 message .....
Hooooo. Now yes. It's good. The text bar no longer loses the written content when you leave the screen. This problem used to bother me a lot.
Thanks to all the perplexity team
+1 ! 👏
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!
I've unsubscribed . Wish it was what it was ment to be but alas
Hey @distant quarry! Have you tried the Push-to-talk mode, too? You can set it in the Voice & Language settings.
This makes me crazy. I have a Pixel 8 pro and longer threads take ages to load. It doesn't happen on PC.
Does anyone have the issue specifically to Perplexity App on Android sometime waiting forever after asked a question? I never have this issue when use via android web browser, but for Android App, this happen very often and even close and restart app doesn't solved.
I always need to switch back to web browser and ask Perplexity instead.
Uninstall and reinstall doesn't help, it's randomly back again. This happened to me about 2-3 times per day.
Anyone know how to fix?
Using on iQoo12, Android 14, no root.
Hey @cursive haven! Could you send me an example thread where you're facing this, so we can check how long that is and what's happening with it. Thank you!
Hey @brisk basin! Are you using a VPN service, too?
As soon as I get a thread (again) with these issues, I will send it!
Nope, I'm only using 4G or wifi. Happen on both.
Help! I created a thread this morning, but now all my data is missing! No threads at all. My subscription is up to date. My Collections are intact, but all my threads are missing! I have accumulated a lot of knowledge. I'm distraught.
Hey @peak lintel! Are your threads missing in your library? Have you tried opening it on your browser?
Thanks for engaging, @tall verge. Looks like it was a temporary glitch, like the app's local database is rebuilding. Still glad I just uninstalled and reinstalled. Whew!
Hi Perplexity team,
I wanted to share that I've been using Perplexity daily, and I rely on a VPN to access the app. However, the VPN server requirements can be quite demanding, often leading me to switch between different servers to maintain a stable connection.
Is there anything Perplexity can do to make the VPN experience more seamless for users like me? Thank you.

Hi Steven, please read this guide on why perplexity blocks some vpn servers and what the possible fixes are #1232978227371442237 message
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.
Sometimes the discovery feed has text/background colors that are slightly more difficult to read because a lack of contrast. Would be nice to have them all higher contrast to the text color.
The copy function on mobile versions includes the question itself when copying text. Why is this the case? Every time I copy and paste, I have to delete the preceding content.
Hi there, I'm new to perplexity so apologies if this is addressed somewhere. I just did an audio search in the app and got an answer but then it didn't show up in text form (or any other form) in my history. Is that normal? It'd be nice to have that, especially since the answer had LaTeX that is much easier to read than hear.
Thank you for your feedback. We will take a look at it! Let us know if you have any other questions, ideas or concerns!
Answers should appear in Library once those got completed. Could you try removing the app from recent app and opening again and check whether thread re-appears in Library?
Ah, I see. Apologies. It's there. I just thought it would be in the same tab and didn't realize I had to go to the Library.
Yo!
I'm using my tablet in horizontal layout + simple bluetooth keyboard, soo: vertical ui in horizontal layout is extremely strange ui/ux choice for android app. It makes android app less usable then browser(iceraven) for tablets making perplexity apk install a practical user experience downgrade
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!
Is there any way to change the language of the discovery page? I'd like to read the articles in English but idk whether it is updated to be system default. I can't find any switch for the articles in discovery page but only the ai response language.
This has probably been suggested many times before, but please bring image generation to the Android app (feature parody, or ideally a better implementation to be able to directly give an image generation prompt without having to go into a search/chat first)
A couple things about Android. It would be nice if I could edit my profile or special instructions from the app instead of having to delete the app so that I can open the web page and do it there.
Another thing is on tablet it opens in portrait mode only which is a little awkward.
Please allow deleting a "pages" page in the Android app
It should not show up if there are no pages. But those should be deleted on web at the moment. Let us know if you have any other questions, ideas or concerns!
Push to talk conversation via an android smart watch would be a killer feature.
Uh
this is a common problem with android tablet apps as most of them aren't optimized for it. There is a neat trick tho - there are multiple apps that FORCE horizontal layout. Use one of those and all of the apps look great!
Why not simply add a "delete" option for pages in the Android app?
We really need a way to be able to scroll down to the bottom of a conversation on Android. PC has that but you can literally just drag the scroll bar on PC Android I have to thumb swipe for ages to get to the end of some of these
I hope that's awesome thanks for pointing that out
When are we getting reasoning mode on Android too?
I'd love to be able to use perplexity as an assistant, android exposes it as an API
Same but as a search provider, there's a system API for that as well, iirc
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.
@tall verge Please check out my screenshots is this kind of behaviour normal for GPT 4? I was having a great time tinkering with this product but it was at night toward the end of my queries and it really had me feeling uncertain if I want to continue using these kind of products.
@stuck fulcrum
Bro....... I laughed when I read your post, THEN I actually read it! 😲😳 I've already have concerns about the path that AI will lead us on since humans are overall dumb regarding pushing into the unknown with arrogance and hubris. Soooo this is EXTRA creepy!
I am having the same issue with Marco. And even with the newly released function of email login and short code, Still not able to login via my android APP. When I use email log in, the link received in mailbox would show invalid and code would show expired or being used (I have not exceed the five minutes limit). 😫
Could you DM me email account used for login? It will help with troubleshooting.
I am having issues with my android PPLX app for the past few days- it is simply unresponsive.
tried from two different devices and same result. restarted many times but does not help.
anyone facing similar issues?
Could you share details on Android version and phone used and, if possible, screen / video recording of the issue faced? It will help a lot with troubleshooting. Thanks in advance!
Please improve the voice interaction. I don't use it because it sucks but I would use it if it were better. First of all I speak slowly so I have to use push to talk otherwise it doesn't let me finish. Second the speech rate is very slow I would like it to speak much faster in responding to me. Also would be great to integrate into Android better so that I can call it through a routine or trigger it with a button on my Samsung. I love perplexity it's changed the way I search, hoping that the Android version improves.
I think the UI for code execution on Android app can be improved, currently when it's running code it just looks like this, there's no way for me to tell what code it's running or is it just stuck
Kindly give us image generation on mobile. With ChatGPT launching web search features, I am struggling to find reasons to keep subscribed to perplexity.
The only appeal for is now that it is all in one app
But on mobile, it does not live upto the promise with missing features
Yeah, it's pain to use Perplexity App on phone.
I'm a Perplexity Pro user, and when I try to log in from the Android mobile app, I receive a login email on my phone. If I click on sign in, I get the sign in link no longer valid. It may have been used already or it may have expired error. If I manually enter the code, I get a "something went wrong, please try again" error. I haven't been able to solve this issue.
Could you DM me email you are trying to login with? It will help with troubleshooting. Let us know if you have any other issue, concerns or ideas!
Hey, thanks for getting back to me. The issue was related to the VPN. Since my devices are connected to the VPN all the time, access wasn't granted for this reason. I have resolved the issue.
Juansc, I don't have access to the channel you are referring to me
Hey, has perplexity recently received an update so that it no longer searches as many sources in the Pro Search as it usually does?
I just noticed that.
hi. why it isn't possible to speak with pplx using bluetooth headset or via mic but with the screen turned off? Is it known issue?
Having been delighted in finding Perplexity Web, seems I use it constantly with everything. What a gem. Wanted to show my dad, he wanted it on the phone, Android. Not a good experience at all. 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.
Realize, I love Perplexity web so much I will become a pro user just to support the project, not that I really need the pro. It is a fascinating web project and definitely increases productivity even for deep technical troubleshooting.
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.
Some previous landscape mentions:
real compujter like a real man? XD
I think the copy button should be pushed up at the same level as bash otherwise it covers up text
Hey, Perplexity Team!
I'm not sure if I'm the only one requesting this, but I really miss a button to enable "Voice Mode" in all threads. I love Voice Mode, but I would like to use it in existing threads, and the speech-to-text button that uses Google's Speech to transcribe what i say doesn't provide a good experience such as voice mode.
Hello, is it planned that image generation will be integrated into the application. Since I work almost exclusively on smartphones and with the Android application, I cannot generate illustration images to accompany my articles. The bulk of my use of Perplexity is content creation. Very short mini videos, like gifs, would be great too. Please 😊
Please add a "delete" button in the app to delete pages that are drafts
(a delete button on every "draft" page)
Can't add more than 1 file at a time, can't add a file in Collections, can't see graphics generated
I've just added 15 files at once and it's working fine.
Send a screen to show the problem
I'm selecting the 1st one then I'm trying to select the second one While doing this it only selects 1
Oui ça fonctionne parfaitement via pc mais sur le portable avec l'application bah ça ne passe pas plus d'un a chaque phrase
attend je test j'avais pas capter portable
Je peux même pas ajouter un fichier moi
Si sur Iphone ça marche bien en fait
You can't upload files to a space on app
spaces uploaded files doesn't work on the app
If I do it on web browser from my phone it works OK
you add the jump shortcut to the latest message on the Threads it take time to scolll down evertime i open the app.
Also, if you do really long Threads the early result is gone.
There doesn't seem to have an option to change app language. Am I missing something?
Hey @eager island! The interface language is set to match your device's language. We have received feedback requesting a separate setting for the app language, and our mobile team is looking into this option.
Thanks!
I couldn't log in to perplexity with my Google account on either Android phone or IOS phone. However, logging into your Google account on the web is no problem. Some time ago, I accidentally logged out of my Android phone, which caused the current issue. Now I need a technician to tell me how to solve this problem. Thanks.
I hope they deliver it soon 🙌
Hey @fathom lily, are you using a VPN service, that's usually the case, and if you are, please switch the hotspot/location or VPN provider. Let me know your account details if that helps. Thank you!
I use Nord VPN and now Perplexity app won’t work. Other AI apps with web access do. Please find a solution so that your app works with VPN. It shouldn’t be a problem.
Do Perplexity Android app have a near future plan to support tables? While I love the service, it's quite inconvenient not to be guaranteed to see the same response across platforms.
I use Nord and it does work. However, it doesn't work with obscured servers. Did you try switching?
Test servers 87 and 88 in Brazil on NordVPN.
Hello 👋 It'd be a good idea to have our follow up messages, and their responses, included into categories, collapsed even. This way we can easily and quickly identify and find the question we are looking for, and its response, when the thread gets long, instead of scrolling up and down.
Thank you for your feedback! Shared with the team and we will evaluate it internally. Let us know if you have any concerns, questions or ideas!
Will do, cheers 🍻
Hi guys, on Android I was on VPN connected to Bulgaria, and the Perplexity app's Discover tab changed language to Bulgarian.
Now, even if I'm not on VPN, or connected to another country, the Discover language is stuck on Bulgarian, which makes it completely unusable to me. I tried reinstalling the app, but it didn't help. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Hey @plush aurora! Is your device's language set to English?
Hi Alex. Thanks a lot for the suggestion, the device language was not set to English (and not Bulgarian either). I changed it to English and the Discover tab language got changed to English too :).
Then I changed the language back to my native language (not Bulgarian), and the Discover tab is back to Bulgarian! OMG
How can I fix this?
I don't want Bulgarian
Looks like language handling logic is broken here.
Hi, I don't think Space feature work well on mobile app. I have uploaded my files on space on web environment, then I asked question on the space on the mobile app. However it seems like it has no information or context about the file and says provide more files.
Am I using it wrong? Or is space feature not fully shipped yet on mobile?
Thanks for your feedback! We are working on these improvements for Spaces on mobile. Should be coming in future release. Let us know if you have any other concerns, questions or ideas!
Could you DM me what language your phone was changed to to turn Discover to Balgarian? We will troubleshoot it internally. Thanks!
cannot able to generate image in android ? there is no option in my device please
web version and Pad only
Can you make dedicated speech to text interface? This raw voice typing interface just doesn't look right.
Voice not the latest?
I don't know how meaningful multiple reports are, but I have the same issue. I often use my Android tablet in landscape mode, but unlike other apps, Perplexity doesn't rotate. Seems silly since it works in landscape mode on a desktop 😄
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.
Hi. On Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, when I click the microphone nothing happens. I tried giving full permission and re-installed, nothing worked. Is there any setting I need to change?
Please add the ability to quickly change the AI model for each individual Space in the mobile version of the Perplexity Pro app, similar to how it's implemented in the web version. This would greatly enhance convenience and flexibility
On Android (<= 2.34.1), since the "Edit query" button is hidden in menu button after the answer, it's hard to edit the prompt, especially when the answer is long and with shopping results.
Other apps would (1) allow long press on the query (2) have the "Edit query" button also show on the top menu.
I really need a "scroll down to the bottom" when I reenter long threads.
Where is the setting to open link in the default browser instead of opening it in the app browser?
The spaces feature doesn't take into account the files when using it on the app
Excuse me, does anyone know if there is a method of preserving a specific instance of perplexity for continual and long term ongoing interactions with the same person?
no roleplaying with pplx AI they can see your interactions
Hey, guys I purchased a pro subscription today and it still shows to purchase the pro. Plesee can any rep see through it.
Hey @astral ermine! Have you received a confirmation message? Please send your account details to our support@perplexity.ai email, we'll check
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.
I never replied, sorry about that. The voice input now works but I don't need Perplexity to talk back to me, I just want text answers. This doesn't seem possible in any setting that I see. Am I missing something?
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 guys, can you please work on the speech recognition system? it seems when i speak english, it actually detects everything i say, but when i speak german it literally doesen't understand anything.
@tall verge
Hey @crystal bolt! Please check the Speech Recognition language in your app settings, it could be one of the languages or your device system language.
everything is set to german @tall verge
"spracherkennung" means voice recognition and it's set to german. but it still seems to not understand, when i speak german.
so maybe it's an issue on perplexity's side. 🤷🏻♂️
I can't sign into my account on Android
Hey @south rover! #📱︱feedback-mobile message
please add the Sources option for Spaces in the android app
it's really inconvenient to add links from a browser
Can you please add edit button on input text.
It is there in web based version but in android, i can not see any button to change my input
Below the response, you have three small dots on the right with "Modify the request." You can edit it and resend the question.
Hi guys, this is why I love perplexity, lol
@tall verge Hi,man. If you could help me fix this voice chat issues, I'll buy a yearly pro rn and screenshot for you.
Hey @gritty solstice! I thought that might be due to the connection issue, but the input should show voice waveform animation anyway if the mic senses any input. Could you please check how your mic works with other apps' voice input, and let me know if the issue occurs only with our app and if you are still experiencing it.
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 think there should be a toggle for "web sources" and "related questions"
Now in a thread even if you uncheck web in the sources section. The 2nd question will be with "web sources".
Also, turning off the related questions will make the page cleaner.
@ok.alex
RIght, @crystal bolt, your settings are correct. The mobile team has been working on a fix, and the app will be updated shortly.
alright, good to know 👍🏻
안녕하세요
Hi Perplexity Team, I hope you're doing great. I'd have a feature request. Please kindly implement the ability remove sources from threads as it's implemented in the web version. Thank you!
I can't select the o1 model in the Android mobile app, when will this feature be added?
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.
Should I be sending this somewhere else?
Your conversation isn't store anywhere so you just lost the chat. I don't think there is a way to recover it. Maybe you can contact the support...
Well if not I'm just going to remove the app and never use it again. Thanks for answering my question quickly anyway
Hi all, is it me, or does perplexity app not support landscape mode? This is very frustrating, as I often use my phone to work on projects, and landscape + external keyboard is my default mode for that.
Same
In the Android App it's not possible to input more than one image which should be fixed. Also Image Generation isn't possible in the App and it should be way easier like in ChatGPT. Additionally O1 is missing in the App.
Perplexity is a very responsible ai but my problem is my gallery is bugged i couldn't send pictures for the ai to answer i hope this feedback would be seek thankyou.
Did the push to talk language detection stop working for anyone else? It used to work fine a while ago in detecting my language (or was able to use the preset language from settings). But since a few days ago it tries to interpret my finnish into english which doesn't quuuuite work out
We are working on a fix for it and release is going out soon. Let us know if you have any other questions, concerns or ideas!
I would really love to be able to keep the phone screen awake during voice conversations.
Hi! Just curious - has there been an internal update for Perplexity? The last two-three searches I did used like 15-20 sources, where it would only use, like, 5-6 before. Just genuinely curious, not complaining haha the more sources the better anyway! Loving Perplexity!
To any conversation thread if i want to save it as new space, I can not directly do it! I can only see already exists space option.
I needs to create new space and then only i'm able to save current conversation thread to that space.
I feel, While saving space i should allow to create new space along with existing options
^Under +add space option
I have to main problem on my samsung s24 ultra:
-
I wrote about this earlier in support, but I'll duplicate it here just in case.
Something happened with the audio reproduction of the answers.
It only plays for a few seconds (about 10) and then it cuts out
Changing the voice does not help, reinstalling the application does not help either. -
When I select the GPT 4o model, the answer is always in the language in which I made the request. The other models respond in the language I selected in the settings. This one does not.
When o1 for android?
@tall verge take a look at this. The abort button is stuck even when the answer is completed. Has happened multiple times even after closing and reopening the application.
I had the same problem with speech recognition for the German language, which was apparently fixed in version 2.37.0. German speech recognition now works perfectly.
I also can't get it to generate images
i noticed that too
same
So my wifi provider gave me perplexity for 1 year when I went to sign in today it charged me $206
Hey! Please send all the details to our support@perplexity.ai team, they will check and help you with this.
Thank you I did immediately with all the information needed I definitely didn't have money for that so I'm stressed.
The response time can take several working days
Yeah that sucks and makes me furious 1 I didn't have the money 2 if I'm pro customer then I should get better service
I have perplexity on my tablet, but it doesn't connect via Google account, so i cannot use the Pro. Tried several times nothing, however it's working on my phone.
Double-clicking on this. Seems that this feature is still outstanding.
There is a possibility to login with short-code which is being sent to the email. Let us know if that works for you.
Thanks for your interest on this feature. We are planning on doing it in coming releases. Sorry for delay.
Hi, is it possible to have a continuous conversation with the Perplexity voice assistant? Currently, I have to click the microphone button every time I want to give it a new prompt. It would be nice to do this without leaving the screen. Thank you.
Hey guys, just signed up and the Android app seems to be in a perpetual loop for getting the code to log in.
Could you share a screenshot of how it looks via DMs to me? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your feedback! We have some updates planned related to it. Will be coming in future releases. Let us know if you have any other questions, ideas or concerns!
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.
Hello on the new assistant it has an issue finding contacts even though I have given it the appropriate permissions.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. What query are you trying, and did it start working by any chance after trying the query again?
I was just telling it to message someone good morning to test it and it was saying it couldn't find the contact
I tried multiple times with no luck
I tried with multiple different contacts as well
Here's an example
yo, is perplexity assistent a seperated app or is it built into perplexity itself? i can't find perplexity assistent on google play store and the voice function in the perplexityvapp hasn't changed.
You can turn it on in the app settings.
Please update the app to the latest version.
omg, i can now talk in german with perplexity! 🤩👍🏻
and yeah, i might check out the assistent feature too
yo, i love the new assistant feature from perplexity. definetly better than siri 🤣
any idea how to change the voice?
Hi, I just got a One Pad Tablet and am using the Perplexity app, I have a case with a keyboard that I need to put my tablet on landscape so wish there was a landscape mode. I did see some messages in the chat for this but it will be a great convenience for people who use keyboard with their tablets.
Has anyone else here had the experience that the perplexity assistant consumes an extremely large amount of battery? I had to deactivate it again because my battery was draining too quickly. In a phase in which I didn't use it once, it accounted for 24% of my battery consumption
Works well, this came just as my yearly subscription expires. I wasn't about to renew it, now I'm considering paying the 27 or 37 dollars or whatever it costs
Is there a way to have the assistant voice activated, just like you would with "Ok Google"?
Hi, is there a way to trigger the perplexity voice assistant on a phone with action launcher, like this one?
well, you can change the voice in the app settings. you have 4 voices that you can choose from.
Here's an example
This was fixed in the latest update, please make sure you are on the latest version in Play Store
Unfortunately not for the moment, this is a platform limitation. The team is looking into possible options
Unfortunately there is no deeplink and no intent that can start the assistant, since triggering assistant needs to be initiated by the system. So I'd say there is no way, although I am not very familiar with the action launcher.
+1 to this, I've set the voice in the settings and the in-app voice is correct but the assistant voice remains the default. Is there a different setting for the assistant voice?
Could you please add a feature so that I can activate perplexity assistant also without assigning it as a default on my Android? e.g. widget or shortcut that I can assign to a gesture.
vivo iqoo8 pro android ,i don't know how to trigger the assistant
I think that's also what I was referring to. For Google Pixel and Samsung phones, it's always so natural to trigger the Perplexity voice assistant with certain gestures, but for other brands, it can still be difficult to activate. If there were a shortcut or widget, that would be best.
Same issue here. Cant change the voice on assistant. Only in App it works.
I have constantly the same issue:
The new Android update is burning through the battery. Went on to disable the assistant but it still consumed hours of background battery.
I'm on version 2.38.0 and there is no new version shown in the Google Store. Have to uninstall the app and use the web version until this is fixed.
You can setup voice activation via Tasker app
You mean this one?
yes
Cannot set Perplexity as default assistant, all options checked, still showing Google Assistant upon long-press of Home button. Using Google Pixel 7a if that's possibly the culprit
I'd really like to use the Assistant but if it doesn't have anything like "Okay Google" recognition it's a no go for me. It would be really cool if Perplexity could integrate something like an "Okay Perplexity" wake word.
Can you please explain further? I thought with tasker you would have to somehow have autovoice as your selected assistant on your phone and then have it trigger Perplexity assistant which I can't figure out how to do.
Hey, I am using perplexity pro on an Android phone and I noticed some of the settings that I configured on web aren't available e.g. the model I selected on web (O1) isn't available on the android app. My profile data is also not available. This is quite annoying as it's almost 2 different experiences depending on the device you use and makes the android version unusable for me. I'm forced to use the mobile browser version instead which is very laggy.
Is this going to be fixed soon?
Hey, thanks for the info. I'm currently using Action Launcher, and unfortunately, there's no always-on assistant gadget or shortcut for Perplexity. Are there any third-party apps or other ways to trigger the Perplexity voice assistant without relying on the power button or specific gestures?
@lone acorn@gritty solstice This is probably easier than me typing it all out. I did this sequence.
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-can-i-set-up-a-wake-word-f-bMa.1IwNSMmHBUKrjBdlAA
Thank you so much!
IDK if there is a way to do this but it would be really cool if when you go to a source that Perplexity links it could highlight the part of the source that Perplexity drew from.
General feedback for voice model, when dealing with abbreviations, it tries to pronounce them as if they are words, eg Mhz being mega hertz will be pronounced as mhegz or something like that... also when dealing with degrees Celsius, etc. these vocal issues are quote common and make it tricky to follow.
Hello
Im using Perplexity pro's latest version on Android 11 and set it as default assistant. When I try to interact with it, it starts with no problem but the voice input doesn't work, it can't hear me.
The older voice chat in the app used to work perfectly but now when I switch between the push to talk and the automatic options in the settings, then trying again, the app keeps crashing.
Does anyone have some tips how can I overcome this issue with the assistant?
Perplexity cannot pronounce numbers like 533 correctly in German. Is this a known issue?
In Android Auto, when I hold down the assistant button, it immediately tells me something went wrong, but if I try again right after it works and allows for Google Assistant. I would love it to be Perplexity if possible!
Thank you for your feedback! We are looking into this one! Let us know if you have any questios, ideas or concerns!
When I ask to set a reminder, where is it going
Or is it on app? If this thing gets more app intents it could speed past Siri and Gemini so quickly. It's an amazing little thing.
I'm surprised it can get all the way to the page of an item you're looking for, but won't just open you to the page itself.
hey, are there any plans to add the o1 pro search feature to the mobile app? and why is there a limit to 10 requests per day?
o1 is expensive
Yes please bring o1 and especially r1 to android
The voices are just reading a bit of result text and stop right in the middle of an output. That's not that good and could use a fix.
Hello, just a small one. I've started using the assistant on android! And it's really good! Just I would love if you guys used your own sound when the assistant is activated over the default Google one.
it's been brought up a few times as well, not ETA yet
Thanks for your feedback! We are working on it!
I cancelled Perplexity Pro just for this reason. They don't let us generate images or access better quality searches on Android which my on the go workflow demands.
I am more satisfied by you.com
I find perplexity's response when I ask it, "What unique features does Perplexity AI offer that You.com doesn't" odd. It doesn't come back with any sources or videos. It looks like the result is prewritten.
The pro search was also extremely fast. It didn't seem like it spent time doing research at all.
This is what I got back from You.com's research agent:
This is what I got when I disagreed with it
When I ask it to talk about it's own functionality by asking, "what math capabilities do you have?" it has the same form of response. Very little time spent generating, no sources. Like it's pre built. This makes sense when it is talking about it's own features but not when it is talking about another platforms
Instead of getting new ai models that are at least updated to a recent date and not 22 October for claude, you even take away sonor huge???
I have issues with Vivo X Fold 3 Pro Chinese ROM for using Assistant and Voice chat. I contacted customer service but no response. Help me please. Thank you.
I have issues with Vivo X Fold 3 Pro
Hello , using Perplexity Android app.
Unfortunately i cant seem to find R1 in the list of models.
I am from romania and I have pro version.
Hey, please make sure you update to the latest version in Play Store. An update for R1 has been rolling out today
hey i have a few questions: 1: how to change stocks in the new perplexity app update? 2: how can i change default location (city) in perpexity? ( in the profile on the web i have the correct locatio, but when asking in the android app for weather for example it gives weather for another city every time and also how do i change units (to c from f and to km from miles)
and are there plans to make a wake word like hey google for assistant and is there a roadmap for the assistant? would like to see if there are any new features like option to use other reminder apps like samsung reminder and option to send messages on whatsapp for example or just anything that is on the horizon
what is actually the difference between the pro search and the R1 reasoning?
How do I select my ai model of choice if i'm using the Digital Assistant?
I have the feeling that Perplexity is more neutral in normal Pro mode and argues more convincingly for a topic in R1 Reasoning mode if it is verifiable.
Anyone please
Perplexity Android App should support DeepSeek R1 on the Pro searches (turn the Pro toggle on to see the option). Update the app from the Play Store before trying.
I didn't compare them but I can tell im loving R1 reasoning so far.
I'm annoyed swipe up gesture from bottom left corner is not working if I set perplexity as my digital assistant...
Hey @strong oriole! Thanks for the feedback, it may depend on the device. Doesn't long-press on the power button work for you, as well? Have you tried resetting the assistant switching to another one and back to PPLX?
Long pressing power button is working fine but I'm just used to having it activated by swiping up from bottom left corner. I tried resetting and all but I think my phone is the issue.
Nvm,its not a big deal.
One more thing,generating images is possible only on web?
Also, any tips on which ai model works the best with r1?
And in general,which ai model is best for what etc...
well, i compared both answer styles and it seems like perplexity gives you a good overview on normal pro mode but it actively tries to seek for good arguments for or against a topic if you choose R1, but thats just my opinion.
Yes, it's currently available on the desktop web.
Thsts exactly why I love it 😂😂
Does anyone get deepseek's reasoning disappearing when done?
Oh I had to tap on the pro search icon....
I have a similar issue on S24 Ultra. The corner swipe works but only after doing it twice, unless the app was recently open. It may be a result of Samsung's background optimization. I'll try setting the battery optimization to unrestricted for the app.
I'm here to express that I'd like the option to disable the horizontal scrolling feed on the Ask tab.
Hey, what was the rationale for the new android app design? And how can I be added to the user research group?
I don't know if this is already reported or if it's just me, but when I click on the weather forecast that appears in the options ribbon I get an error. Could it be an option limited to some territories?
Hello, I have an problem with voices reading higher numbers >1000 in Polish language. Any sound is not able to read them in a proper way. They are trying to read them in russian or other east language. That is something very annoying and disqualifies the use of voice features.
There's quite a few formatting errors when r1 writes calculations
Could you share query tried to check out? Thanks in advance!
When will the android app support reasoning models like deepseek r1, openai o1 and o3-mini?
it's now doing it less but i had to try different versions of "how much is it to drive a Ford Everest 2024 edition for 12000 miles if diesel is $3.70 per gallon?"
on my galaxy tab S9 Fe, when I open perplexity it is locked in portrait mode, which is inconvenient on a tablet, is there a way to change it to landscape
I understand now that the perplexity android app does not support landscape
on my tablet there is an option to force landscape, but that just fits the portrait window into the screen as shown
although this is a lot better than before
This is now a feature. 👌Thank you!
The assistant gets automatically reverted to gemini on my device after a day
Also would it be possible to expand these reasoning traces and not hide them when the answer is ready?
Hi Folks,
Is it possible to use perplexity with 2 input languages? Let we say dutch and turkish?
Because i use perplexity mainly in dutch butt today i wanted to ask stuff in turkish and needed to manually change the input to turkish and then after the conversation finished back to dutch.
This would be really handy to use 2 languages at once
Just add your preferred language at the end of your prompt.
e.g. Please answer in English
Thank you for your feedback!
By clicking on Pro Search label at the top after answer was generated, all steps including reasoning will be shown expanded. We are working on some updates to this UI as well. Let us know if you have any other ideas, questions or concerns!
I totally missed it, thanks!
Hello, I really enjoy your new assistant but I miss one thing: it’s “Ok Google”. It’s stupid but I use this functionality a lot just to find my phone when I have misplaced it. I miss it and I would like to be able to summon Perplexity the same way. Another thing, I am annoyed by how we activate it. We cannot personalize our buttons to do so, and now it’s using my shortcut (power button) that I normally use to open my wallet app and pay with NFC.
hi i just paid 20 dollars and using on android mobile and on my windows
mobile doesnt respond anything
its frozen
Hey @balmy osprey! Please switch the hotspot/location or the service provider if you are using a VPN service.
Hi, I'm just wondering if we could have a voice speed option for the Perplexity app. The current regular voice speed is relatively slow when having a voice-to-voice conversation or reading the answer aloud, so it would be better if we had different speed settings for those who prefer a faster pace. Thank you in advance.
Literally has "con" in the URL
Anyone ever type a prompt but you dont see the response?
Hey Alex Romanov Vova Kerus. I hope you're fine. Can I ask if you have seen my message before and if it's something that you think to implement soon ? Thanks.
Any solution for this: #📱︱feedback-mobile message
https://discord.com/channels/1047197230748151888/1336969814643703879 - is anyone else having this issue?
@patent barn Thank you for your report! Reasoning model are not included into default ones at the moment. Those can be selected in a dropdown menu on Query Input screen.
If dropdown does not include Reasoning models for you, it may be the case that configuration failed to load. Restarting app 2-3 times and/or Stopping the app from App's settings and starting should force configuration reload.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Thank you for you feedback! There is no standard way to integrate in the same manner as "Ok Google" works unless you own version of Android. We are looking into alternatives and we will share those news when and if it is possible.
In Settings -> Gestures there is a list of other possible ways to do certains things with quick actions. For example, Pixel phone has 1st item on the list as "Quick Tap to start action" where Assistant can be configured as one of the targets. Let us know if that works for you
Also, let us know if you have any questions, ideas or concerns.
Thank you for your interest. Sry, but no updates at the moment except that it is plans. Let us know if you have any questions, ideas or concerns.
No I mean it's a bug right
Perplexity assistant shouldn't revert to gemini
Oh. I though it was about multiple attachments
I do not have any drop-down on the input screen. I've contacted perplexity pro email support and was told to reinstall the app and restart my phone.
On start-up is the app trying to update itself? I'm using nextdns and can see various domains are getting blocked for analytics
I haven't sent any reports about multiple attachments 😅 I'm just reporting that my assistant keeps reverting to gemini from perplexity. I remember there is some rule that blocks google ads n stuff if you try to compete with Google for the assistant feature but didn't know it auto reverts you randomly too
Thanks for details! We have some ideas around it and we are working on them
Thanks for the help, butt i mean really 2 languages as input, also with voice option, so i just could speak dutch or turkish. Instead of changing the input language.
when using STT you have to manually select prefered language
Thanks, is that something that would change in the future? Or to be able to select 2 preferred languages?
Wondering whether you are looking into a possibility to use 2 languages in the same query or being able to use one easily for the whole query?
ChatGPT's STT and Doubao from TikTok are currently very good at recognizing multiple languages simultaneously. It would be beneficial if voice input could automatically detect the language. (Although Perplexity's settings claim to auto-detect language, it appears to recognize only one language at a time.)
Hey, just wondering have u found a solution? It's always effortless to trigger the perplexity voice assistant on Plexi and Samsung phones, but for other brands, it's a pain, it's always "the" brand's default voice assistant.
we should have options to upload multiple images and files at once
Thank you for your feedback! We are working on it. Let us know if you have any other questions, issues or concerns!
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. But with the Alexa assistant, the screen flash does not happen, even though the option is again turned on and greyed out.
Attached video comparing the screen effects from perplexitys and alexas
I was hoping that since Alexa is doing something to circumvent this you guys could too
What happened to the "Writing" option? I noticed it disappeared a bit ago, and it was basically just writing stuff without searching the internet?
On older threads I still have the option, but not on any newer ones?
When new thread is being started, there is a possibility to select a Focus and Writing is one of them on Android. Wondering whether something different is being observed?
Hi when can we have a scroll to bottom button on the android app? It is tedious to scroll all the way down a long chat
Thank you for your feedback! It is not available yet. Wondering whether scrolling till the end or start of last answer is a desired behaviour?
Sorry I asked in the wrong thread. I thought this was for the website, my apologies.
On pixel, if I activate the voice assistant without unlocking the phone, and type to it, a lot of the keyboard is blocked because the fingerprint sensor would keep activating. This doesn't happen with gemini, and I couldn't test with other assistants
Whichever is fine, thanks
Hello, on Discord, regarding perplexity Pro, is there a channel in French?
How do I activate sonar on Android app?
if you ask me - till the end
I search too
Please get these settings to android app 🙏
Can I switch to or set a Perplexity Space for the Assistant on Android?
It seems some apps that are "secure" are only being detected as blank screens for context while for the assistant. Is it possible for it to let the user know when it detects such an app? Very frustrated that the assisstant couldn't summary a news article for me that I accessed via a finance app before I realized the issue.
Hey, I'm just wondering if it's possible for the Perplexity app to support multilingual voice input with voice-to-voice conversation or assistant. The Sonar model is already blazing fast right now; if it could support multilingual voice input and more accurate STT like Whisper, it would be a game-changer.
Hey @lone acorn! Try switching the hotspot/location if you are using a VPN service. Please let me know your account details/os/app version if that's not the case.
How can I enable side button to launch perplexity
Bruh, the NEW Perplexity Deep Research is sick af, very good. So Long to think and so Long and good answer. Wow
Go in the settings and search for Default Assistant settings
Wich Phone Brand do you have?
What APK version do you have?
Version: 2.40.0
How strange! I was asking because I have the same version and I don't have the Deep Research option. And if I perform a search with Deep Research enabled from the web when I later open it in the mobile app it shows me as Pro Search.
Problem solved by clearing the application cache!
nice that it works now, but strange that you had to clear the cache first
I had convinced myself that it wouldn't be available in the app yet and when I saw it in your screenshot and couldn't find app updates (having the beta) I didn't understand 🤣.
ah ok
Please add a wake word for the voice assistant. I'd be fine with something like "hey sonar"
i have samsung a55
Does it working now?
Assistant needs handfree activation. Exactly as hey google.
yeah there is an option, but i think, its only working in the perplexity app
Would love if there was an option to mute all responses when I use the side button to call up the assistant. Siri, Google Assistant, and Bixby all have this feature (but Gemini doesn't for some reason too)
If I'm able to press the side button on the phone then I'm typically using it and would rather read the responses than hear them
the voice just pronounced "February 22" as "february twenty-twoed" instead of "twenty-second"
also i don't seem to be able to change the voice style, it sounds the same no matter which one i select
I have Amazon fire max 11 side loaded Google play and install perplexity on it. I can't seem to get the microphone to work to use the voice to work. Any ideas?
This app can be installed and it should be recognised as an app to be used as default voice input: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tts&hl=en&pli=1
Let us know if that worked.
How to find it
Yeh the apps VOICE TO TEXT. Needs to be fixed. All of it is like this. Especially it cannot say degrees or special symbols
Profile Pic
Scroll down to "Profile"
Click "speechmode"
Choose mode
is it possible to have the assistant toggled by voice like google? i kinda wanna be able to use it whitout manual input every time, and after the asistant responds it seems i have to manually press the mic button again in order to comunicate with it
I would like to know why the perplexity assistant can no longer analyze the cell phone's screen. Was it just a bonus with a set time to finish?
Yes we all do. So I'm sure this is high on their list.
Chatgpt. Voice2text
Perplexity voice2text.
I really HATE it when a service offers voice2text but send it INSTANTLY. Let me check my text first 😦
Btw dear perplexity admins you can use the voice2text function from chatgpt!
https://github.com/openai/whisper
If your developers are too lazy to Google, here is a direct link 😉
https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1aj61hj/comment/kozm64f/
A user gave a tutorial, ofc you need to adjust it for your server system, probably a Linux based.
It's free to run on your own system
I would NEVER do that... A YouTube video, a stranger or else can activate it also that means it has to PERMANENTLY record EVERYTHING you say! AND everything other people do say around you. It's proven that if you have Google as "hey Google" assistant active that ads you see goes fit to the conversations you recently had. Because your phone did record everything even your little farts 😉
Hey, I am a new user and I just started using Perplexity as the Android assistant. I wanted to change the voice style for the assistant but even upon setting the voice to Kate, it only changes it inside Perplexity and not in the assistant?
Is assistant voice change just not a thing?
I just tested it too. Switched from male to female, but my German speaker is only male.
Seems like the voice assistant doesn't change from the app settings
I guess it's only for this screen, where you can have a (limited) voice chat. Which I really don't want. It's at the app start page at the right bottom
I truly dislike that the app doesn't have a "writing" mode.
I hate that the AI does(try) to research for my writing help.
A BIG plus for perplexity was always that I could use it for improving my text WITHOUT getting annoyed from web stuff.
It cost YOU more power to let it check through the Internet and I don't even want that!
I want a option to disable web search!
I really dislike how perplexity is getting worse instead of getting better, it was 2023 a really good website!
Same its so bad . Its pretty funny how much worse they are able to make it
I dont really understand why everything is done so poorly on perplexity
I had all these issues too, do the devs actually use their bad solutions?
Yeah I don't understand why they try to look bad compared vs chatgpt.
Always adjusting their app/website to let it be MORE unfriendly.
It's just not smart.
Android still have Writing mode in focus mode selector. At the same time, now we can detect user's intent from query and there is not need to additionally select focus for query. If there some examples which do not work as expect, feel free to DM me and team will take a look.
Definitely needs a wake word so I can use it hands free while driving
The wake word can be handled locally in the phone and only the conversation after that is sent to their servers
Found it today at the tiny right top. It's bad placed there.
I'm missing in the app the option to delete the last reply from me/the AI.
I do it sometimes to clean the thread up.
Also would it be nice to remove the suggestions under EACH answer, it makes the scrolling unnecessary longer!
What is so important that you can't stop to use your phone?
Literally everything? What do you do while driving? Stare?
Focus on driving safely. I just have a bicycle, but even there do I stop to use my phone, also never using headphones.
Only exception is when I would drive far away into a new region, then I would use Google maps.
But when I would drive I wouldn't touch my phone.
I even hate it when the driver is looking at me when we talk, just look on the road!
I saw too much dashcams recording and final destination. Also got hit once by car.
My buddy girlfriend got two or three times crashed by a car including brain bleeding. She's heavily disabled because people doesn't looked on the road...
Yeah that's the point. Not having to touch your phone...
Even free handed speaking with your phone can be distracting. That's why it's not recommended to have emotional intensive phone calls
Like getting a call that someone died or having beef.
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.
voice mode doesn't interact reliably
The integration between web and android should be there
Like I can see and follow on the threads I had on pc on my android app
Hey @finite bramble! Please ensure you're logging in to the same account on the web and the app, and please send me your email so we can check.
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?
Hi, i have stupid question, but can I activate perplexity by voice command? Like Ok, google
Why did you get rid of the one click voice shortcut? ☹️
We are fixing it. Thanks for your feedback! Let us know if you have any other questions ideas or concerns.
We may need more details on this one like whether VPN is being used or not. Could you email to support@perplexity.ai with additional information for assistance?
We are looking into it but currently only Google can do it. Wondering whether some other Apps installed from Google Play were observed to be doing the same. If so, please share samples with us and we will take a look at those. Thanks in advance and let us know if you have any other questions, ideas or concerns!
Will android get the new voice talk UI?I have the old one
Yes it's a vpn problem which i never had before this. But now you want us to whitelist it in order to use? Ok stopping my sub
Sounds like a job for Perplexity Deep Research 😅
Yes that's truth 
Adding to the requests for having the same source options, within Spaces, in the Android app as there are in web.
Got another: parity in the search results time range options
Yes, pls bring the new Voice UI to Android
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 😂
The Android app is missing functionality to clear ALL conversations, not just conversations outside spaces.
Will there ever be scroll to the end button on Android? Delete last message feature? Or is it just my OnePlus 8T and everyone already has all these features in their app...
it does mess up things, and you can't even delete your last response so 👁️ oh and last time I sent a message like that ppxty created another thread just for that message instead of continuing the existing one
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.
Mini rant to perplexity devs for prioritizing iOS app over Android app.
Let them have Siri in peace.
🍐>🍎
Because usb c cable sold by Apple costs like budget Xiaomi Android phone
Maybe they are oppressive but they're still being prioritized over us when it comes to perplexity app for phones.
😂
Yes, iPhone "premium" class...
My phone is also "premium" and perplexity doesn't cares cuz it's not "iOS"
@rustic oar
Thanks 
appreciate it
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.
Hi, calendar support is available now on the latest version. Let us know of any feedback!
Thank you, we will be looking into it
Could the Discover tab be updated as follows?
- Long pressing on a tile shows the description or a summary of the news without opening the whole page
- Remember the last selected Discover tab (For you, top stories etc) and auto select it when opening discover again
- When opening an article and swiping back, the tiles sometimes update and you lose track of what tile you just reached.
- Show what article has already been seen by changing tile appearance after closing it.
- Add more filters & sort options (Relevant, Top, New to old, Unread etc.)
Android app is forgotten.
Has been updated to day from version 2.40.3 to 2.41.1, but I don't see any change.
Yeah, no advanced voice mode, no latest models available
On my Samsung phone, I mostly use Perplexity from a browser.
The app is outdated.
Yes, that's one of the reasons why I'm planning to buy an iPhone
Perplexity is only good for website and iOS
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.
You can set it up easy
I can't
How bad translation has to be? 😄
Tell it in profile description to browse the web in German and prioritize German media. That way it won't need to translate since it's already German s
Articles 😂
У всех пропал режим генерации изображений в про версии? Она была. После покупки поработала пару дней и теперь даже нет такого пункта в меню
Even for iOS it’s not good. There are many bugs or “unfinished things”. But that’s how it is. When you want to use something cheap you must suffer those consequences.
Can voice chat please stop cutting me off just because I paused for 3 nanoseconds? I have to constantly stutter and say um um um so there's continuous-sound-so-it-knows-I'm-still-forming-my-thought-and-not-finished-talking.
Not every input to an AI is a short single sentence question.
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. However it does not. It I click on the shown picture it opens my clock-app on the phone, however the alarm is not set.
Please check the notification settings of your device, there's sometimes an additional permission required to let the app set alarms.
Same for me
I ask it to set a timer, and it shows it on the screen, then I go do things and the timer never goes off and my pizza is burned 😭
Please be more specific. I have all notifications on and neither does it work nor is the help specific enough
Try enabling perplexity to modify system settings. And bunch of other special permissions in settings
Everything is switched on. The assistant just doesn't work reliably 😦
Mine?:😂
Also you allowed perplexity access to all this permissions?
Everything is switched on. It has the permission to set in alarm.
To be frank it worked once (!) in maybe 20 tries.
Perplexity has all the necessary permissions and even more...
I also have Xiaomi phone ,you can find this in :
Settings-privacy protection -special permissions
Follow my steps.
And also allow background auto start for perplexity.
The steps won't work on android 15.
Again: perplexity already has all permissions
Strange.
But try somehow to find this specific settings in your phone.
That's what you have to allow and I think it should work
Sorry here
But you have to open every single one individually
Nope 😂
Search more,you will find it
You came here. But it's not that
Also: since I switched my phone to English the assistant doesn't work at all anymore
Go to something like privacy or ehatever
Enable it there wherever you can and also allow background auto start and it must work
Everything is already switched on for perplexity
Also it has background Autos tart
Use hammer and hit your Xiaomi 15 and buy another android
Yeah or I just leave a crappy assistant behind before blaming the phone
If it would have never worked. But it did. Randomly. Once. Not before, not after. The issue is not on the phone / settings
If perplexity confirms that it did something when it in fact did not it's BS
Is this also on?
No change necessary
Then you're doomed.
If only you bought Samsung or pixel ....😂
Funny how it drains 12 percent of my total battery for just hanging at the background doing nothing
Maybe sneaking though all my stuff with a the nonsense admin permissions it has
Thank you for trying to help me anyway, @maiden mulch
Np 😁
Can we please get same hand free voice thing on android it works super well enough to replace my gpt and gemini but on android it sucks it keeps not responding you cant interrupt it and i cant change voice
I think it would be great to have a setting that lets us automatically delete old Threads from our Library after a set amount of time.
Similar to how you can set your Google search history to automatically delete after 3, 18, or, 36 months
Oh ps if you could include like to drop the call with double press on headphones or speaker that can drop calls that would be top. I use voice ai on the move and need often to break the call
To be clear same hands free voice as on iphone
New voice mode is only for Apple devices, why no android?
It's coming to Android soon! In most cases, iOS is just the easier platform for companies to develop for and test updates on
Mac already has it
Yep - I edited my message
When, next month?
Will the voice feature on Android be similar to iOS soon?
Hello! Tell me, can I call perplexity like google?I mean like ok google? I installed perplexity as my main voice assistant.
Not yet.
I don't think it has a wake word yet. I would like it too.
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.
Yeah that's also my experience
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 mean AI models
hi i have a question i use perplexity on web ios and android on IOS (ipad) i have the new talking thing (it works better and in czech) Android rn dont have the new speeking thing i like the new one becouse it works in my language and i wanna ask if it is available on android too
Hands-Free voices not working like a #1140622008086970420 all like at all. I asked it for something and if I lock my screen it will just shut down and just keep going and loading and loading and nothing happens. I like perplexity for news but this makes it unusable on the go. So what is the point??
I have pixel 8 device and now I have searched and it started talking. I locked the screen and all of a sudden it stops talking after few sentences
Hi, i noticed the response reading button disappeared. Is it intentional or just issue on my side? It was great feature for multitasking and now its gone for me.
Talked with Perplexity while driving this weekend, about 4 hours total, trying to learn about MCP servers and stuff like that, and when I was back on my phone and looking up the documentation for software libraries I realized Perplexity fabricated half of the stuff it told me. 😒 The hallucinations are really out of control.
I've been using it and subscribed to Pro because ChatGPT stopped working over Bluetooth, but it's way less trustworthy.
I assume you talked without breaks for 4 hours so amount of tokens in that thread is the problem.
No, less than an hour each conversation
That's still over the token limit I'd say .
Why would that matter for hallucinations?
I would assume it's an issue with the internal prompting and what the LLM is shown from search results and web page scraping.
Like if it's shown a bunch of snippets from a keyword search and told to summarize them instead of evaluating each independently, and mixes up search results for different things with the same keyword, stuff like that
You can manually check that thread to see if it's over 32k tokens
If yes then that is the reason,if no then it's a mystery
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.
Right now, mine is just going and going and he's been on for like five minutes
Which model does it use??
Iver learned two things about ALL the AI platforms using any of the smaller or free models,
-
I know there's two things, but I already forgot what the first one was so I'm name the second one:
-
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
does it have a button to take a screenshots? i know i can do it by voice, but images opens the camera but gemini has a "read my screen" button
What happened to the buttom to read the answer out loud? It's gone since the recent update.
After clicking in, all these pictures are not displayed. They were displayed fine yesterday. Why?
So to me pixel 8 i put it in hands free mode then i tell it something and lock it it can work for one or two questions but after that i keeps breaking. I have developer latest android 16 on it
No joke i took out my iphone with me for a few days as voice is so good on it so now I carry 2 phones :/
I don't know what it uses in voice chat
Hey, I would like to know if I can go back to speech mode?
I set up the Space with the custom prompt, added a previously created Thread (which was a conversation) and I would like to start the conversation again. Is it possible on Android?
@astral furnace Where has the read aloud button gone in the android app? It's not there anymore
The "read aloud" button in the Android app may have been removed or relocated due to a recent update. You can check the app's settings or update notes for any mention of changes to accessibility features, or contact support for clarification.
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.
@astral furnace Your answer regarding Android is not entirely correct. The latest official Android version as of now is Android 15. Android 16 (codenamed "Baklava") is currently in development and has not yet been officially released. It's currently in its Beta 3 stage, which was released on March 13, 2025.
Thank you for the correction. You are absolutely right, and I apologize for my mistake.
Android 15 is indeed the latest official Android version currently available. Android 16, codenamed "Baklava," is still in development and reached Beta 3 on March 13, 2025. I appreciate you providing accurate information to ensure users have the correct details about Android versions.
@astral furnace why is the Android app currently soooo unreliable? ("Something went wrong" errors)
We're having trouble answering that question right now. Please try again later.
Same problem here :/
@steady pivot @astral furnace @nocturne cosmos
Getting annoyed with the App, I don't always want my questions search queries using search online all the time
@astral furnace what date was last android update
The last official Android update, Android 15, was released on October 4, 2024.
Android 16 (codenamed "Baklava") is still in development and is currently in Beta 3, which was released on March 13, 2025.
Joined the server just to report the exact same problem lol. I tried reinstalling, logging in and out and even clearing the cache but nothing works
Is the App down or something?
What happened to the read aloud button in the android app?
For some reason it's gone. I put it out as a bug report. Hopefully they will improve it and give us the opportunity to select exactly where the reader should be
I mean that there is a selection about time. Estimate time and allow us to select to which minute/second it should be at
They took it out on web too, so I don't think it's a bug, but didn't see an announcement about it
Sigh
Today i found that "listen" button disappeared. I use this function a lot...
@astral furnace why Android Perplexity "listen" button gome?
It appears that the "listen" or "read aloud" button has been removed from the Android and web versions of the Perplexity app, as noted by multiple users in this thread. While there has been no official announcement explaining this change, it does not seem to be a bug but rather a deliberate decision by the developers.
A feature
Rate developers decision from 1 to 10
why android's app is so terrible? why they don't sync web's ui change with mobile app?
@astral furnace I have seen a lot of feedback about the font size on pretty much every platform. Is there any word from the developers about implementing a way to customize the font size?
There has been significant feedback across platforms about font size customization, but there is no confirmation from developers regarding plans to implement this feature. Customizing font sizes typically requires platform-specific solutions, such as using scalable units like sp for Android or system-level settings, which developers may consider in future updates.
Hey guys, I just set perplexity as default assistant and while exploring the triggers I found that there is no voice activation trigger like "Hey google". Is there any work around for this? @astral furnace
Unfortunately, Perplexity does not currently support voice activation triggers like "Hey Google." As a workaround, you could use automation tools like Tasker to create custom voice commands that activate specific actions on your device, though this requires some technical setup.
@astral furnace when the new voice mode will be available on android?
There is currently no confirmed timeline for the release of the new voice mode on Android for Perplexity. While similar features, such as ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode, have been rolled out to select users on other platforms, updates regarding Android availability remain unclear, with users expressing frustration over delays.
@astral furnace
I'm upset about the ability to NOT be able to use the "headphones button" as a TTS feature within the app anymore! I used it constantly, and it definitely will push me into deciding on staying with Perplexity or using another AI platform instead.
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.
@astral furnace when you get complaints from the userbase, do you also let the support team know? Btw, I also am furious over the loss of the "listen" button.
Complaints from the user base, including the loss of features like the "listen" button, are typically forwarded to the support team when voiced through official channels or feedback forms. If you feel strongly about this issue, consider contacting Perplexity's support team directly to ensure your concerns are documented and reviewed.
The voice chat constantly hears the tail of its own output and responds to it. 😒
Hey @toxic vector! Could you please share a bit more about your device/android and the app versions?

And by "constantly" I mean "occasionally, but enough to be annoying" 😅
its only for apple devices
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? It's so annoying to have to output my entire thought in one continuous breath so it doesn't cut me off and start pontificating about all the different possible meanings my half-finished sentence might have had. 🙄
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.
Hi, would it be possible to add the "skip to end" arrow on mobile? I have a few very long threads, and it takes quite a while to scroll to the end.
Add image generation on Android
Kindly add the save feature so that i can refer to the older conversation and add on to it
You can bookmark threads which will be available in the bookmarks space if that is what you mean
How do i get to the bookmark space. so far i can only go to the Library, scroll through the threads, find one that is bookmarked and when I click the tag, I'm in the bookmarks page. How do i get to the page without having to do all this? I saw a video that there should be a bookmark option on the Library which takes me to the space. I don't see that option on the page on the right side.
You can go to Spaces where there is one solely for bookmarks
Will this keep changing?
Where are the Collections located?
Aren't all conversations saved automatically under Library?
It would be really great if the text to speech would have a speed dial allowing for 2-3x speed
