[haughty kettle]

They upped it 8GB specifically for Apple Intelligence

[haughty kettle]

It helps in other places too tbf

[gilded apex]

Oh Yeah, RAM helps in general true.
But VRChat specifically needs more than 4 GB just to stay stable.
The devs said 4 GB phones freeze even in tiny worlds.
So for VRChat, 4 GB isn’t enough no matter what?

[haughty kettle]

Because your OS is also using memory. Also iPhones use unified memory meaning your GPU will also be using memory too.

VRChat is always using anywhere between 2-4 GB on an iOS device

Also VRChat is CPU intensive, very.

[sturdy cargo]

People tested 4GB on Android side for mobile, and gotten stutters

[haughty kettle]

Yeah that’s from the phone constantly trying to swap and compress

iOS can perform better in memory limited scenarios, but that’s because the virtual memory is more like 12GB and it’s “intelligently” choosing what goes in RAM and what doesn’t.

You’ve got a little over 5GB of “VRAM” on an iPhone, but that’s shared with system memory and both CPU and GPU have DMA so the GPU can just pull from whatever it needs to.

[gilded apex]

Bro listen…
My iPhone got ONLY 4 GB RAM.
iOS: lemme take 1GB
GPU: lemme eat some too
VRChat: ‘I NEED 4GB ALONE 😡‼️’
Phone: Crying, shaking, overheating, teleporting to Jesus
World: loads 2 polygons and dies
Avatar: T-poses, then disappears into the void
Everything freezes like: ❄️🧊🤖

So yeah… my phone TRYING to run VRChat is like:
1GB for Apple
1GB for GPU
VRChat: 2–4GB
But phone only HAS 4GB
💀💀💀🥀🥀

[cloud vapor]

It's not that serious.. Just play vrchat on other devices then. 11 Pro is getting old, accept that. Even if it had 6gb ram. Vrchat is not a small mobile game. It's a port of a very unoptimized platform due to the self creation nature. I respect vrchat for using the quest 2 as the base.

[haughty kettle]

You can stream it using Steam link

[near crypt]

Steam Link is a good alternative for VRC

[haughty kettle]

Yeah

[hardy sage]

yeah i do

[stray shore]

I who am always stuck

[junior perch]

Noooo!!! I’m sorry to hear!

[worldly plume]

they need to pin this

[haughty kettle]

Is iOS getting the new audio engine?

[rigid surge]

Pretty sure it has had it since day one, unless I heard wrong one reason they swapped was just because IOS couldn't support the old audio engine.

[haughty kettle]

Interesting

Steam audio is fairly efficient, I hope iOS gets avpro player support

[rigid surge]

You mean playing youtube videos specifically?
AVPro itself supports IOS, although with limited format support.

[haughty kettle]

Idk, maybe. I just want the HW codec offload

[onyx stratus]

Wait

Since when is vrc for iOS on the App Store?????

[pulsar jolt]

Might be dumb but can you do finger gestures on mobile? Like can I do a peace sign?

[haughty kettle]

Since a few months ago

[indigo shard]

You can but required external controls like keyboard ⌨️ for example

[tidal salmon]

iOS is already using it 🙂

[inner saddle]

@charred mulch

[fading knoll]

Just sideload it if it’s not in ur country i did it too and it work great

[stray shore]

🤨 I know that on iOS in Europe you can install apps from alternative stores, but VR Chat is only on the App Store and not on Alt Store or Side Store. When I search for the game on the App Store, it doesn't exist at all.

[fading knoll]

Yes same it doesn’t exist too but i just installed vrchat on a site that i don’t actually remember right now

If u want i’ll go find it and then give u the ipa files i guess.

[stray shore]

I prefer to search for myself or wait for an Apple Store version even if it would have helped me out.

[fading knoll]

Oh alright

Goodluck finding the ipa (it will be easy no worry)

[stray shore]

[fluid shadow]

Even if you had .ipa, it wont work

Already tested it with someone here and they got the security violation warning

[stray shore]

I don't want to take risks just for so little

I will just content myself with complaining because I find it unfair to block something that I have been waiting for 2 years.

the majority of laws in France I am not interested in, but when it blocks something that interests me without a way around it puts pressure on me because I feel like I am being punished

Actually, I don't know anyone from my friends who are interested in iOS and the French community loves to criticize this version. I was insulted for no reason at the beginning when I was playing the beta version.

[old widget]

guts and blackpowder mentioned

[old widget]

RAHHHH

I love that game i have like 30 days playtime

actually no 42

[gilded apex]

Oh nice me too love game and i have 128 day

LIE

[old widget]

wait ru serious or

cuz im like deaadahh serious

[gilded apex]

Yes im Serious (lie. I have 92 DAYS 😂😂)

[old widget]

send proof

[lavish jungle]

Does anyone know if third person is being considered for phones cause that would be kinda cool methinks lol

[placid prairie]

Hey I put a video on vrchat to listen to but there no sound?

[drifting zephyr]

Still wish vrchat didnt do the whole 6gb update. Just shows that they dont care about the suggestion canny EVEN with hundreds of thumbs up agreement

[true cargo]

the what update

[rough barn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[true cargo]

vrchat on ios was always 6gb?

[fluid shadow]

It was not on first builds. But since people lied on their questionare and got bombarded with inavlid bug tickets due unsupported hardware, it was made to block it. Thats what I think happened

[true cargo]

so people decided to force vrchat to patch what wasnt supposed to be a feature

[rigid surge]

From having forced it onto a 4GB Android phone during the android beta, VRChat really is not playable on less than 6GB and even that is minimum at this point.

[charred mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/sh-quiet-india-indian-tiktok-gif-16906342

[haughty kettle]

Even on 8GB it still fills memory

[little wave]

Anyone else have VRChat plus and when you go to boop someone on mobile it does this??

Like, I have plus but if I’m in game it works but when I’m using the app to view who’s online, it thinks I don’t have it?

[rough barn]

You also shouldn’t need VRC+ to send a fuckin boop lmao

Anyone can do that for free

Sounds like a canny needs to be made

While we’re at it lets talk about the sort order of offline friends in the companion app cuz uhh

It seemingly doesn’t have any

How tf do I find a name amongst 100+ offline users with 0 sorting

Cmon guys :(

[rough barn]

Ohhh it wants vrc+ for custom emoji boops

Definitely report that on canny, massive oversight from the devs

[rough barn]

It’s still “last time logged on” but it’s impossible to tell when all you see is a username 😂

[fluid shadow]

Cannot dupe

Just send boop via iOS, no prompt for VRC+ with custom emoji

[rough barn]

I did get the prompt for custom emoji, it was at the bottom

But I don’t have VRC+ so I can’t actually try

[little wave]

I have vrc+ and was trying to use the custom emoji

Either way, still a major bug

Hi

[rough barn]

Calendar in companion app when?

[cloud vapor]

Or calendar integration in your phone calendar app

[mental edge]

guys when vrchat coming to ps5?

[haughty kettle]

This is the iOS channel

For apple trees

[rough barn]

That’s.. what I meant

Don’t they call it the companion app??

[cloud vapor]

I meant in the native calander app on your phone with the other calendar things xD

[cloud vapor]

When sony likes vrchat so not for the near future I'm afraid

[mental edge]

tbh idk im just excited about it

[stark silo]

step 1: buy a psvr2
step 2: buy the adaptor
step 3: ????
step 4: roundhouse kick every manuka in the instance while in the ps5 vr headset

[dusky quartz]

How do i make it so that when i tap on a tv, it doesnt lock my screen on the tv. It also locks it on any screen i tap on like boards or pics and stuff in some worlds its kinda annoyingg

[rigid surge]

If there is nothing about it in settings then I would assume you can't.
To my knowledge that is a feature that has to be added to stuff to work.

[dusky quartz]

Im hoping theres something about it in the settings but i might just not know which setting it is xD

Just checking here if that setting exists

[rigid surge]

Had to dig around for where the docs about it even were.
It is called "focus view" you can disable it, no clue where but the docs list it as a requirement for it to work.

[dusky quartz]

Ahh thanks

Found it under controls tenkss

[waxen osprey]

Does anyone know how to get face tracking on iOS.

[rough barn]

If I remember correctly that wasn’t ever mentioned as an ios feature, only android

[waxen osprey]

Awh dang

[tidal agate]

What the flip bro

[reef scroll]

i can’t play vrchat on my ios device

[fluid shadow]

Does your device meet the requirements?

[reef scroll]

?

[vernal maple]

Anyyybody know why vrc subscription doesn't work on mobile app? Even after verifying purchases?

[reef scroll]

what requirements does an ios have to meet to be able to play

[rigid surge]

6GB of RAM and IOS 17 or higher.

[dawn crescent]

Crazy how it heats up the iPhone tho

[vernal maple]

Makes good egg sandwich on grilled toast tho

[lean oxide]

How do I resend the confirmation email?

[stark silo]

If you don't have at least an iPhone 13/iPad Pro from recent years, you can't run VRC

[reef scroll]

I have an iPhone 13

[lean oxide]

Your iPhone needs at least 6GB of RAM.

[haughty kettle]

And eats memory

[haughty kettle]

Can’t run it

[lean oxide]

I wonder if there are any one handed controllers that can pair with iOS devices.

I tried a Switch Joycon, but that didn't work

[haughty kettle]

Idk

PSVR2 maybe?

[cloud vapor]

iPhone 12 Pro/iPhone 14 or later

[stark silo]

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if the 12 Pro eventually gets knocked off the list in the future
VRC's only getting less optimized 😭

But I'm surprised the base 13 can't run it it seems?

[cloud vapor]

the way developers cut of devices yeah i see them cutting the 12 pro and 13 pro faster then usual.

[stark silo]

God I can't wait to just be able to afford at least an iPhone 16 in the future
My XR aint cutting it nowadays

[cloud vapor]

sadly the 13 was stuck with 4gb of ram, the only good thing the useless iphone 14 did (and trust me that phone is worst iphone ever made kind of phone) it did got the 6gb ram upgrade so atleast something positive about that phone xD

fixed the typo xD

[stark silo]

Ok that's weird 💀 💀

I wanna joke of how Warframe somehow runs on the XR compared to VRC bring unable to but then I have to remember how insanely difficult it is to optimize VRC to begin with compared to the 13 years Warframe's existed

[cloud vapor]

if you can find an iphone 15 i reccomend that one! it's cheaper and a big jump from the xr

[stark silo]

Honestly I just wanna carry my M2 around less, so ideally I'd want the Pro or Pro Max

[cloud vapor]

i find it funny vrchat runs so poor on iphones yet console grade games are being ported over a lot these days xD

[stark silo]

See also: RE Village, Afterimage, Assassin's Creed

[cloud vapor]

but can it run doom tho?.. xD jk

[stark silo]

Unironically 7 dollars on ios rn

But why would you play the shitty port just download Retroarch

We're getting fucking Tomb Raider 2013 on iOS soon and we finally have RDR1
It's only a matter of time before more games follow suit, hell GTA V might as well come

What we need is Crazy Cattle on iOS NOW

[cloud vapor]

am actually considering getting that assassin creed mirage game for my iphone 17 tho, i want to see how well it runs a modern console game

[cloud vapor]

hyped! so far the only serious game i bought on my iphone is the prince of persia lost crown game, but that's not a huge demanding game

[stark silo]

I won't be surprised if it runs better than my M2 iPad considering it has more RAM
However expect to be holding a bomb

[cloud vapor]

subnautica,powerwash simulator,doki doki club. damn the iphone game store is getting big. oh and vrchat ofcours xD

[stark silo]

It's the fact I have games on my phone me as a kid dreamed of having

[cloud vapor]

wait osu is on iphone??

[stark silo]

Yeah
The osu!lazer beta test might be full rn tho

[cloud vapor]

interesting

[stark silo]

It used to run like actual fucking horseshit in 2019
But then Peppy locked tf in, implemented Metal in 2023 and now its playable

The only issue is the iOS version blocks you from downloading non-featured artists
There were predictions it was supposed to release on iOS in 2023
Then in 2024
then in 2025

You can still import non-featured artist charts/beatmaps but it has to be done externally

[cloud vapor]

My current games for my iphone 17

[stark silo]

based space invaders

I'm gonna blow up TAITO's HQ if they don't fucking release the OST and let me buy the fucking game

I waited TWELVE fuckinh years for them to port the PS3 version
And somehow they FUCKED it up

[cloud vapor]

damn..

[stark silo]

Some ships were meant to be controlled via an extra button on your controller (Field for example)
But in this version, they changed how it works and now Field is hard to play

I'm still surprised they made Cosio do the OST
His style fucking EVOLVED

I used one of the tracks in my DJ set lmao

Still waiting for the day VRCiOS gets the face tracking tho

[cloud vapor]

discord in dock gang btw xD

[cloud vapor]

fingers crossed!

A lot of it

[lavish jungle]

Has anyone noticed vrchat loading considerably slower on iOS or is something just up with my iPad lol

[rough barn]

The fact that the companion app’s friends list is unsorted with no sorting modes is insane

Y’all expect me to blindly scroll through hundreds of offline/online players just to figure out who’s online??

[rose nebula]

Is there an easy way to port my avatar from my PC to my MacBook? I've been copying over the project folder then building for iOS but it's such a huge hassle especially because login isn't persistent

And double especially because copying over a 30GB file is booty without setting up ssh or ftp

[rigid surge]

Install ios build support on your PC? Inside unity hub, installs and click the cog.

[rose nebula]

I just learned I could do this like literally 5 mins ago. I feel dumb 😂😭

Thank you

[haughty kettle]

iCloud?

[rose nebula]

turns out I'm just dumb 😅 don't do what i do. just use your Windows machine to build for iOS

[haughty kettle]

If you wanna play VRC on your M series MacBook there’s an iPhone emulator built in I believe

[rose nebula]

you can't install apps on the built-in iphone emulator. I've tried. it's just for testing apps you built locally

[haughty kettle]

Ah

[rough barn]

So… what’s the limit on number of friends displayed on the companion app

It’s just arbitrarily adding new ones every time I come back after unfriending, which explains why I can’t see 200 friends anywhere in the companion app

Makes unfriending really hard lol

[fluid shadow]

Companion app is not official product of VRChat. VRChat own app can be found at https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/vrchat/id6448578770

[lavish jungle]

girl that is the companion app

[haughty kettle]

It launches into actual vrchat though too.

[hot garden]

how can i report a bug on the ios version? I was wanting to play a bit to pass the time but the audio either didn’t work at all or sounded like a corrupt nightmare. What’s weirder is the corrupted audio wasn’t coming through on a screen recording

[rough barn]

All the bug reporting is handled in one place: https://feedback.vrchat.com

[hot garden]

gotcha- thanks!

[fluid shadow]

Already reported months ago

[tawny oracle]

Can u still do the vrchat mobile badge challenges?

[copper cave]

try and see

[waxen osprey]

What do I do when this happens, everytime I log out and log back in it says password is invalid but when I log in on google in my account it doesn’t do that?

Then I have to say I forgot my password and change it to the same password but again, it doesn’t work.

It’s only for iOS my pc is perfectly fine with logging me in

Seems like it’s fine now, I reset my phone and it let me log in.

[waxen osprey]

Well it’s doing it again so I’m not sure how to fix it from doing that.

[waxen osprey]

Does anyone have any idea on how to fix it I’ve been working on it for about an hour

I think it’s a problem with the iOS app cause again my pc is perfectly fine.

[waxen osprey]

So after multiple hours I still can’t log in soo

is it possible to join via invite link on mobile? i can send mysef an invite but i cant see the message invitation even though it says i got one?

[balmy haven]

Guys I'd play vrchat on mobile for longer if vrchat didn't drain so much battery or if vrchat didn't affect my phone while charging but why does it affect my phones charging state?

[rigid surge]

VRChat very heavy application, makes phone hot, would guess that is why your phone decides it cannot charge as quickly.

[boreal bear]

Hey there I’m now playing but I lost some stuffs is missing especially crouch or even shows stuffs or emotions change on vrchat I play on iPhone and struggling to do any of those can anyone help me?

Hello there! I’m trying don’t block with some characters! Yet ios not letting me have full access of control on my settings! Can anyone explain me how to clone or also use my friends’s characters? As in settings?

[rough barn]

you can't enable more than 5 very poor avatars at a time, if that's what you're talking about?

I think it auto blocks the oldest one when you block a 6th

And you can't wear avatars that aren't ported to ios, so if they look cool and you can't clone it probably means that avatar isn't actually on ios

[boreal bear]

So it is? Thank you

[peak pulsar]

hii does anyone know how to make avatars on mobile?

[rough barn]

you don't

you make avatars with a PC, by uploading from unity

Anyway? Am i can connect my steam to moblie version?

[rigid surge]

Assuming I understand what you mean, you would need to migrate to a full VRC account if you want to use the same account on multiple platforms.
There should be a button in the menu for doing what they call linking (but is more of a migration when going in your direction)

For more details read this

[hybrid creek]

Is it normal for my iPad's battery to drain over 30% from a full charge in less than 30 minutes of playing VRC on iOS while also being almost too hot to touch?

It's a brand-new iPad Pro with an M5 chip, too. This doesn't happen with any other game I play...

[rough barn]

Yep

Welcome to VRChat slop

Everyone’s iPhones turn into ovens and drain at the speed of light

[hybrid creek]

Is there any settings I can change or apps I can close out that might help it run a bit cooler or more efficient?

I'd rather not kill my brand-new $2500 iPad if I can help it. ><

I mainly use my laptop to play VRC but I love having it available on my phone and ipad just in case I'm not near it and still want to hang out with friends for a bit...

[rigid surge]

You can lower the max fps in graphical settings and use avatar culling to only show a handful of the closest avatars, the rest become optimized diamonds.

[haughty kettle]

That doesn’t help when VRChat itself is poorly optimized and struggles even on private instances in small well optimized worlds

[true cargo]

The only thing not really optimized from vrchat's end is the ui which is a general ui issue with unity itself
Also your own avatar can cauae you lag

[haughty kettle]

Unity is very poorly optimized

That is just a fact.

[true cargo]

Its not that unoptimized

[hallow cairn]

I’m trying to play chess and practically every time I try to make a move, it opens the opponents profile, so I’m forced to awkwardly back shuffle into the board to face away from the opponent to move a piece, is there a way to circumvent this?

[stray shore]

I wonder if vr chat is not available in France why not put it in ALT STORE PAL to bypass.

[stark silo]

you consider trying a controller?
i've had better control (back when i was a deskie) with my dualsense

[stark silo]

my best guess is because allegedly vrc mobile doesn't have as much aggressive anti-cheat as PC, and there's been a handful of (alleged) cases where people've injected code into the APK on android

nothing would be stopping any malicious actors from doing the same on ios

[stray shore]

I think that even if developers could, I think they cannot either because it is a legal issue and not a technical one.

AltStore PAL is a legal store, visible by Apple, with contracts, audits, legal responsibilities, so even if they try, VRChat cannot hide there.

[stark silo]

Legal percussions are also a thing yeah

[stray shore]

It's a bit like trying to sell an illegal weapon on Amazon but since I can't, I sell it on the dark web.

It's a bit exaggerated as an example but it's a bit of a similar thing if we introduce the game on Alt Store in France.

[stark silo]

I guess the same energy as distributing a modded version of a game that has lootbox mechanics in a country that bans lootboxes

Wtf is france even doing

[stray shore]

France does not like sensitive content to be easily visible, most external apps allowed in France require an age verification to see certain content, as is the case with Twitter.

VR Chat does not have a developed enough security to be allowed.

I hope the problem will be resolved with the new security standards of VR Chat in 2026.

Similarly for strange websites

I am content to watch every day if the game starts to appear from one day to the next

on the internet no one is talking about it after my research

[minor lion]

Why is 6 GB of RAM required?

[round current]

Bc with 4gb vrc would crash so much it'd probs get auto removed from the app store lol

[final jasper]

Maybe it's your avatar

[haughty kettle]

Eh

[final jasper]

Completely unrelated to you or your question, but idk why so many people come to a hive mind that vr chat doesn't try to optimize their game and people turn their head at the fact that most lag comes from user generated content.

[true cargo]

You can load up the default robot and be fine in a lot of worlds especially in private instances so if you are somehow having issues its either your hardware or your own avatar causing issues

[haughty kettle]

Because it’s not a hive mind belief. There’s been multiple issues with insanely high resource usage on optimized words with optimized avatars.

[true cargo]

doesnt sound like at least one of those wasnt optimized then

[haughty kettle]

It also just uses a fuck ton of CPU

Their switch to steam audio helped a bit but still

[true cargo]

its a cpu based game so yea it would?

[haughty kettle]

And also memory

I swear they need to find a way to make it harder for crashers to crash people

[true cargo]

majority of the time it isnt a crasher but the person crashing themselves

[trim halo]

yall think theyll ever add vrc to macos? ☠️

[sick sleet]

try using ALCOM instead

[rough barn]

…to play VRC?

[sick sleet]

oh i misread it lol

[topaz torrent]

It is possible to make hand gestures on iOS without a keyboard? Like a menu or something?

[sturdy cargo]

Just like Android mobile, you can't.

[stark silo]

I honestly find it weird you can't do gestures with a controller like on Steam

[final jasper]

This is the hive mind at work

[fierce apex]

What does this mean?

[fluid shadow]

That your device cannot run VRC, but you can use it to see what is happening in your friend bubble

[fierce apex]

[boreal bear]

Hello there vrchats IOS, when is gonna be a idea on vrchat iOS version? Like if i wanna add a character! Because there’s a apps so many i can make and add the movements, and i hope you devs thinking use this app with language programming you can discovered for this app you’ll use?

[rough barn]

You can only add an avatar by uploading from a PC, not with mobile

[stray shore]

The phones are not powerful enough to upload an avatar on Unity unless you use Shadow.

[boreal bear]

Alright

[unborn anchor]

Why can’t I see what people are watching on the tv in instances

[clear igloo]

The shader issue making everything pink makes way too many games unplayable. I wish there was some way to optimize all the shaders.

[rigid surge]

Since shaders are compiled when uploaded there is no way to just convert them for IOS as VRChat works, the source files just don't exist to be recompiled.

[haughty kettle]

What? When did I need a desktop class GPU to use Unity?

Modern flagship phones are insanely powerful

The issue is power consumption is usually, and memory sometimes.

[stray shore]

I don't know the necessary specifications to use Unity but if you are doing a big animation project, it is recommended to have recent components.

Just to upload an avatar, a not very powerful computer can go through, but the download time would be extremely long.

[haughty kettle]

My phone is faster than my enterprise workstation. Then again my workstation is from 2010

[unborn anchor]

Why can’t I see what others are watching on the tv

Anyone?

[chilly magnet]

hello i can't install vr chat on my iphone 13 pro i live in france it's normal?

[rough barn]

France blocked VRC

[chilly magnet]

why?

[rough barn]

Blame your country- idk what you can do to get around it

Shrug, but tons of french complained here on mobile release week

They could use the beta but not when it released

[chilly magnet]

It's just annoying because I play on PC and MetaQuest 3, and I'd like to play on iPhone. Does anyone have a technique or an IPA file with a sideloader?

[steel fossil]

vpn

[rough barn]

Ios vpn? Never used or even heard of one

[steel fossil]

yeah, Windows Defender on iOS provides one for free

just sign in to your Microsoft account

[stray shore]

French laws are too strict with sensitive content since the game is not suitable for minors and they can easily see sensitive content without age verification, it was blocked.

(There are also certain websites blocked in France with a similar cause to VR chat)

(Most popular applications have implemented a verification system to avoid this same problem)

(The only way for the game to be available here is to wait for the developers to enhance security for people without age verification by blocking more content instead of just individual instances T-T)

I hope the developers will look for a solution to try to solve this problem and not ignore it 😕

[rough barn]

Well since they already announced age verification will be required to see such tagged worlds and avatars at some point this year, it sounds like they are

[stray shore]

Yes, I see what you mean

[rough barn]

Yep! Good news imo 🙏

[stray shore]

^w^

[fading knoll]

Eh for me it’s fine i just have to install a ipa or use a vpn so i can bypass france strict laws xD

[hot sail]

Hey does Anyone have a problem with the sound going out?

Then i have to restart my whole ipad

[knotty torrent]

I believe there should face tracking like in android for the iOS version

[steady sparrow]

I see pink squares

[stray shore]

Generally this happens when the world you are in is not iOS compatible.

[steady sparrow]

Will that change

[stray shore]

No, it's up to the creator of the world to make it compatible with iOS.

[steady sparrow]

Ohhhhh

[night cloak]

mobile shader copying from android to ios doing some heavy lifting

[haughty kettle]

I’ve noticed that some spotlight worlds marked as IOS compatible have issues with their rendering

[steady sparrow]

i was wondering if Vrc will be fully compatible with everything

in the future

[true cargo]

if you mean stuff like android vs ios then its eventually possible if they can get it translated

[night cloak]

"everything"? No. You still wont be able to see PC avatars or worlds for example just because of architectural differences. Those would have to be specifically built for iOS.
But I believe the goal for the clients is to be able to have similar or the same feature sets. For what it is, the iOS version is quite... Uh developed I guess is the word I'm looking for

Some things missing like the radial menu and ik about the wing, but it's a bit buggy with displaying icons and text. cough looking at gogo

[true cargo]

thats mostly from gogo trying to use html codes to manipulate the text n stuff specifically for the radial layout

[night cloak]

Yeah, but I doubt it'd be that hard to either scale the text or like limit the boundings of the text. Alternatively, strip away html formatting

[true cargo]

ye

[rich dragon]

guys im from android or samsung and i can´t play it says error of the verification what do i do?

[undone quiver]

Were you looking for the words “fleshed out” or am I tweaking

[night cloak]

Same thing I guess

[placid prairie]

Hii I need help

[rough barn]

With?

https://dontasktoask.com

[placid prairie]

My mic

[cyan niche]

What app did you use to play the PC version of vrchat for ios?

[stray shore]

https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=4438ef0d97d59ee6e5fb1762101b49ace9fd171b4c9806c0a2ad103a0e7c2d8cJmltdHM9MTc2OTM4NTYwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=2a9e9325-8324-6edd-2f29-80cc82f96fd4&psq=nvidia+geforce+now&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9wbGF5LmdlZm9yY2Vub3cuY29tLw

[cyan niche]

Thanks!

[stray shore]

no probleme If you plan to play using mobile data, it's not really recommended unless you have unlimited mobile data.

[cyan niche]

No, everything is fine, I have wi-fi.

[stray shore]

Ah, that's good then. On my end, I've been playing less on mobile since Nvidia GeForce Now, because the iOS version of Safari doesn't allow streaming at 120 fps.

[cyan niche]

I will be grateful to my device if it gives me at least 40-60 fps

[obtuse dew]

When will you be able to watch popcorn palace @soup

[cloud vapor]

this person

[obtuse dew]

Ok

[cloud vapor]

@obtuse dew ask question again and ping this developer, he will see it and can answer the best he can ^^

[obtuse dew]

When will we be aple to watch movies in popcorn palace @tidal salmon

Bc I don’t want to always have to use my vr

And pls add were we don’t have to use push to talk

[cloud vapor]

he complains cause the players don't work on the iphone version

now we wait ^^

[indigo shard]

Since when iOS could use a PC avatar? I spotted this person recently

[obtuse dew]

@tidal salmon

[fluid shadow]

You cant. Its impostor

[rough barn]

Last I tried, iOS couldn’t wear avatars that has no iOS version

So if you can wear something you can only see as an impostor, something changed

[fluid shadow]

Nothing has changed since there has been no update

[heady osprey]

who wanna add me so we can play

[stray shore]

It's a shame that the fall back personalize no longer exists, I have a version of my avatar that has become useless now.

[rough barn]

Lots of folks do

[somber echo]

Popcorn palace update neeeed help please

[round current]

if it's an issue with the world message the world creator if they have socials

[somber echo]

How do I call them

[rough barn]

This is ios so I’m 99% certain it’s cuz the vids don’t work

[gray mantle]

Is there a way to apply to be an IOS Beta tester?

[lyric lodge]

Can we ever get a change to the account token expiry system though? I hate having to log back into my VRChat account just because my IP changed because I left my house, went to my friend's house, or for literally any other reason.

Being logged out every single time because I went from Wi-Fi to Cellular is literally unheard of anywhere else on the internet.

[ebon sleet]

When is vrchat gonna fix prismics on mobile, Everytime I join in, my screen starts flashing

[haughty kettle]

You can wear android avatars on iOS due to the conversion shader

[haughty kettle]

Video players work on the iPhone version if they’ve been updated for the iPhone version. There’s already at least one world confirmed to have a fully functional video player.

[haughty kettle]

You need to ask the world creator to fix it.

There’s a few worlds that are listed as “iOS compatible” but have issues

[night cloak]

iOS can convert models with android uploads and no iOS uploads

The conversion for avatars and worlds does some heavy lifting

[cosmic sedge]

iOS update holy shit

[stray shore]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-thinking-think-don't-overthink-overthinking-gif-3750208506975714674

[stray shore]

Do you think that with a ban on social networks for those under 15 in France with mandatory verification

Will vr chat be available on iOS?

[rough barn]

It already wasn’t available in france

[stray shore]

Still not ready after several months of waiting, I have the impression that the developers are not doing anything to try to fix it.

I don't know the problem

I always have the idea of blocking the possibility of displaying avatars with a tag for unverified people to avoid the visibility of sensitive content.

[rough barn]

They released a video at the beginning of the year saying they’re gonna do that this year 👌

[stray shore]

Hoping that it will allow VR Chat to be released on iOS in France.

[stark silo]

Yeah face mirrors are still super buggy and it might be a while before they get to it

There’s a canny forum to report it to but i dont have the direct link off the top of my head

Yeah it’s a confirmed bug

I’ve reported it in the beta before

[sturdy cargo]

Same with Android

[autumn shale]

How come ios upload option is greyed out in the sdk, google’s information is outdated asf

[rough barn]

You’ve gotta download the ios build tools for that unity version using unity hub

At least that’s my guess

Same issue happens for android if you don’t install that

[autumn shale]

Yeah im still looking for it

[small solstice]

Did they add anything to new to the IOS update?

[copper cave]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202611
As per as patchnote, not really. (at least nothing special apart from other section)

[small solstice]

Thank you did they fix the screen so we are able to watch movies on iOS ?

[copper cave]

That one I think need to ask to @tidal salmon

[small solstice]

Oh okay would I ask that person then ?

[copper cave]

I think they will come back here once they saw message. (which usually they do)

[small solstice]

Okay great please let me know when they see the message then

[small dragon]

when voice activity in vrchat???

[rough barn]

Never? phones are rarely used in quiet enough places and the mic could pick up things across the room 👀

[heady shadow]

Vrchat hasnt came up on my appstore yet : (

[stark silo]

It’s available, but you need to connect headphones

Not sure if this has changed

[indigo ether]

Hello I have question. VRChat iOS public is only USA ,Canada ? because I have VRChat iOS bêta end in Europe.

[indigo ether]

Nah I see on up message

[inland raptor]

Don’t know if this has been brought up but for some reason I can’t change my microphone on iOS off of push to talk is that normal?

[rough barn]

Yes

[stark silo]

@inland raptor

To have it set to what you would normally have on Quest/PC, you need to connect any sort of headphones

This is to prevent echoing from your phone

[inland raptor]

Thank you

[stark silo]

Wired/Wireless doesn't matter, as long as it's not outputting through your speakers

[brittle parcel]

Cool.

[rough barn]

Blame the world creator for not properly or actively porting their worlds 👀

[indigo shard]

It depends on the creators if they want to make iOS compatible or not. But deep down, I'm happy if they don't tbh

[rough barn]

Sounds mean to me

[gray mantle]

How do I edit my bio and pfp, or access my account settings on mobile?

[atomic breach]

To change your bio and pfp, go to the vrc website and login from there, your settings should be in the menu in vrchat

[gray mantle]

I’ve been having trouble accessing the website. Every time I log in, it immediately logs me out after about a second

[atomic breach]

https://vrchat.com/home

[gray mantle]

Tried different browsers, and manually typing in my login info instead of autofilling it, but nothing’s worked so far

[atomic breach]

It’s probably the api that’s bugging out atm, just wait until they announced it’s fixed in #server-status

Otherwise it sounds like a you problem (no offense)

[gray mantle]

Bet, thx

[glass herald]

Huge player causes the mobile to lag tf out of it

[copper cave]

ios moment

[trim swallow]

Can we add icon/sticker upload inside the phone app?
Can we also add a features where your photo automatically gets resized to meet the requirements of Vr chat

[copper cave]

I think better make canny for it.

[pearl nymph]

Searching for avatars ?
-# idk if it’s already been brought up

[stark silo]

Prismic’s Avatar Search

@pearl nymph accidentally turned off ping

[pearl nymph]

No like when I search avatars nothing comes up

[pearl nymph]

.

[stark silo]

In that world?

[pearl nymph]

Yes on ios prismixs
-# @stark silo

[oak owl]

I kinda have a idea for iOS that PC Has is the Hand tracking for PC But instead that for phone you have Face Tracking 🤷🏽

[rough barn]

Android (mobile) has it too, not sure why ios doesn’t

I assume it’s harder to program if they haven’t already done it 👀

[sick venture]

Wait how do you get vrchat on iOS other than the website?

What’s the name of the brown haired avatar?

[rough barn]

The app store? 😂

It’s sometimes buried in fake alternate apps, even if you search ‘vrchat’, but you find it eventually

[oak owl]

Oh they have it I don’t think I seen it?

[light pike]

Yes, iOS can’t use search worlds like that

[stark silo]

It was working in the beta

[stark silo]

Selfie expression is up in the air somewhere

[oak owl]

Sweet :D

[stark silo]

Dont take my word on it

[oak owl]

i like using it on PC

[stark silo]

Ironically VRC's my vtubing app lmao

[oak owl]

but Yeah Will See if comes out sometime on ios

Pretty Much LOl

[stark silo]

@light pike @pearl nymph avatar searching works
Here’s things to consider:

• Have you filtered it to only iOS? Make sure you add Android as your filter, very little amount of avis are made for iOS
• Have you waited long enough for the world to fully load? A message in yellow tells you that it’s downloading and configuring the avatar database
• Do you have a stable connection? Slower connections tend to load longer and/or break the world load process
• Is your device fast enough? Lower end devices tend to be finicky with Prismic’s, so I’ve been told

I would turn off iOS filtering and use the android one since more avis exist
It’ll result in not-so-great and full experiences with avis not made specifically with an iOS version, but it means more avis for you to choose from

For reference I run this thing on an iPad Pro (2022), so things tend to load just fine

[keen igloo]

Does Any one has the same problem? notification used to be clear with full info. now all has turned in to this useless information.
Is there some new setting I miss? or it will stay this way now on.
The only reason I install iOS app is for knowing those info without opening any app or webpage.

[fluid shadow]

If your phone is locked, they are hidden. Once opened, then they will show

[sick sleet]

if you want to show their messages without unlocking your iPhone, check notification settings (global or per-app settings)

[keen igloo]

🥳 thank you

[copper rain]

I need help

Whenever I try to log in on the website it just kicks me out as soon as I get into it

[odd wedge]

Guys Could it be compatible with the actual Note 50?

Realme note 50

[raw sable]

Wha does this mean?

I tried restarting my phone, deleting and reinstalling the app, and logging out and logging back in

[true cargo]

have you considered looking at general chat or #server-status

[raw sable]

nvm, they're fixing the issue rn

[pearl nymph]

Do they know when vrchat will be back up?

[pearl nymph]

.

[wild radish]

how do i make it run better

[rough barn]

https://tenor.com/view/mike-tyson-gif-7463280333531053022

[wild radish]

?

[night cloak]

"run better" is subjective. The option to upgrade your device may be tossed at you. If not possible, then look into being around people who wear optimized avatars in optimized worlds and you should also wear optimized avatars

[hearty dome]

Hii, I play VR on iOS and I have a question about avatars. I don’t really know much about the gameplay since I’ve only played VR twice on iOS, but when I play and use different avatars, with some of them I can do actions like sitting and the other actions that are supposed to show up normally, but with other avatars I can’t. Is that weird, or does it depend on the avatar whether you can do those actions?

[night cloak]

Some avatars include a motion package called GoGo Loco. That system has a lot of poses including sitting, but it's not included on every avatar, though it is very widely adopted, so you may find more avatars with than without

[hearty dome]

I understand, tysm! So I guess I’ve just been unlucky haha, it’s already been 3 avatars in a row that don’t have that package

[small solstice]

Hi i had a question hopefully yall can answer can you record a video in vrchat on mobile ?

[rough barn]

You just… turn on your screen recorder??

[rigid surge]

The only video recorder that any platform has access inside vrchat requires vrc+ and uses the camera dolly system, which is time limited and not something you can whip out to quickly record anything.

Pretty sure that system is on mobile as well, it would make your phone stutter hard though.

[small solstice]

Ahh okay thanks

[lilac meadow]

Does anyone on iOS know why the video players don’t work very well for iOS? I have untrusted urls enabled but I can never hear or see the videos

[rigid surge]

If it is youtube videos then they are barely working for anyone atm

[lilac meadow]

Ahhh okay it’s not just YouTube tho, most video players don’t work

[lilac widget]

Does anyone who how to VRChat to work on iPhone, I know you need 6 GB of Ram but it’s not working

[steel peak]

Sadly I have iPhone 13

[hybrid tartan]

Skill issue🤷‍♂️

[covert eagle]

Are y’all going to fix that

[indigo ether]

macbook neo mhmmmm

[fluid shadow]

It has been said already. No, they will not. It is not a bug, its a feature. Read FAQ for system requirements

[dusky tapir]

What about iPhone 16

[silver saffron]

bruh

[dusky tapir]

What

[elfin veldt]

What device did you use?

[covert eagle]

IPhones

[fast crystal]

How about a way to completely hide the hud

[elfin veldt]

Ok, but which one? For me, i use iPhone 14 pro max.

[elfin veldt]

Iphone 16 are support device iOS 17 or higher

[stray shore]

I know I have already talked about this subject a while back, but I think it would be nice to have a touch screen function with NVIDIA GeForce Now to make the gaming experience much better without affecting the avatars and the world.

Having controls like that makes navigating the touch screen much less precise.

[stark silo]

Simplest answer is that iOS is built different

Video players weren't made with iOS' functions in mind, stuff like audio and video are processed differently and so subsequently the only "functional" video player is YTS 3.0

[lilac meadow]

Ohhh thank you!!

[junior cape]

I have an avatar that uses hand toggles to shoot. Can you use that on iOS?

[placid ermine]

does anyone know where vrchat support is

[verbal shard]

Asleep lol

[stark silo]

probably in theory? i know the desktop version of vrc mapped hand gestures on a controller, so you could try connecting a gamepad to your device
i can't remember if the controller gestures work on ios though

[haughty kettle]

Seeing as the game already uses 4-6 GB on my iPhone 16 which has 8 GB, unlikely.

[haughty kettle]

Afaik they don’t, unless I just don’t know the magic button combos

[haughty kettle]

There is only one that is verified to work on iOS and that’s the YTS 3.0 one

[haughty kettle]

It looks interesting. I wish they’d actually used the same A19 pro as the iPhone 17 pro but eh

And also gave it same amount of RAM

[stark silo]

It was either holding the left or right shoulder button and using the joysticks for the corresponding hand
Theoretically a keyboard also works, via the F keys

There exists another "functional" player and that's Haxy's Airship
It only displays video, no audio

[haughty kettle]

I wasn’t able to get that one to work at all tbh.

[stark silo]

It's a weird hit or miss, but Haxy's had some weird version that did work at some point

[haughty kettle]

Yeah last I remember hearing it worked in the beta but when I tried it I got no such luck.

Eventually more stuff will work for iOS though

[humble osprey]

bro why dis my friend say you could play vrchat on iphone 13 i got so excited😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[hybrid sail]

How does it make sense that you have an IOS app yet don’t allow us to use iCloud emails?

[fervent minnow]

Ok I have a question about mobile

When I got on vr chat mobile and I click on one of the worlds it won’t let me play it

[humble osprey]

u dont have 6gb of rammmm

[stark silo]

you'd have to sign up from the web version if you wanna use icloud email i guess

[ocean quarry]

What happened to microphone toggle? It is only push to talk or always off now.

[rough barn]

Always how it worked. Gotta have headphones if you wanna turn off ptt

[fervent minnow]

Do I have to get more storage on my phone to play the worlds?

[rigid surge]

6GB of RAM, which isn't storage.
And you can't get more unless you buy a phone with more RAM.

[heady shadow]

Guys basically um i did smthn on mobile to make a world have this effect on objects like this 👇🏻

And idk how to fix that btw

Idk how to turn off an effect like that for those to be normal coloured again

[rough barn]

When things are purple like that it means they’re missing a material

[heady shadow]

Oh

Is there a way to turn that type of effect tho

[rigid surge]

To be specific, purple means the shader failed to render, you should replace those with another shader, unless you want to take a crack at modifying them so they work on IOS, I have no idea what would be needed to be done though since it is Apple's graphical API which only Apple uses.

[heady shadow]

Okee

[atomic mantle]

How do I make a custom avatar on an iPhone 14 Pro Max? I got an email saying stuff like i can make custom worlds and avatars now but idk how to do that

[rough barn]

You can’t without a pc 🙏

The email was because you hit a certain rank and unlocked uploading to the acc

[atomic mantle]

Bruhhh..

[ocean quarry]

Ya had headphones.

[plain ice]

Someone know how to fix the glitch were i randomly stop hearing people talk?

While using airpods

[stark silo]

Might be a connection error, have you tried other bluetooth devices if you got any?

[fluid shadow]

Its been a bug for like year know :/

Technically it can be now marked as known issue

[plain ice]

Any fix?

[plain ice]

Its both with and without

[fluid shadow]

Known issue with no fix

[stark silo]

Should I still report bugs for iOS through the Canny?
I have a bug where groups I've muted notifs for in game still forward to the app notifications

known issue too

i reported it

[rough barn]

Blame apple for having shit ram for a long time lol

[royal orbit]

Can anyone else access prismics avatar search? Everytime I try to join on the loading screen I feel like I’m going to have an epileptic fit 😬it fully just will not let me in

[worn rune]

Are we allowed to watch movies

[indigo shard]

Apple has a shit small ram but I think their chipset is more powerful than the Android we have and able to run standalone PC games like Resident Evil and Assassin's Creed without relying on emulators honestly.

[chilly heron]

Um…i cant turn my screen sideways anymore-

[stark silo]

it's probably more because of gameporting toolkit iirc
you can optimize a game for a toaster if you have the right tools and stuff

resident evil and AC were more just tech demos tbh
didn't regret beating village on my M2 iPad but it showed its limits fast, it's barely held together

[haughty kettle]

I know of one world verified to work for video players.

[clear igloo]

Ok so there's a cube item that's supposed to be available to vrc+ users. All of my friends can access it, but I can't ingame. But I checked on the website and that says I'm supposed to have it in my inventory rn, but the app doesn't show it at all! What's going on?

[royal orbit]

Which world is it? I just wanna chill and watch videos in vr chat 🤣

[haughty kettle]

YTS

[royal orbit]

Thank you! I’ll give it a try 💖

I can’t send a video because it may cause epileptic fits 😬😭

[royal orbit]

I’m hoping they fix this soon because I can’t watch anything either the world won’t load or the video player on worlds just says there was an error

[clear igloo]

Nvm turns out ios hadn't updated yet

[haughty kettle]

You may have to turn on “direct mode”

But it was working for YouTube videos last time I checked if you use their built in search function

[stray shore]

Do you know if the developers have planned an ( alt store ) version for VR Chat?

[rough barn]

what’s alt store?

[stray shore]

Alt Store is an alternative app store that is only in Europe.

[rough barn]

is there any reason you can’t just use the app store? 🤔 I don’t see why you’d want it anywhere else

[stray shore]

The game is not on the app store for me

[stray shore]

[rough barn]

ahhh I see, I feel like they’re much more likely to just fix whatever’s blocking them there 😅

[stray shore]

I think that if the game had better security with players who don't have age verification, I would have never received this problem.

It's been 6 months now that I can no longer play this version.

And what worries me is how long this story will last

In the meantime, I don't even know if the developers are trying to find a solution to this problem or if they are literally ignoring it.

[fervent minnow]

I wish my updated the iOS
Vr chat removed the gigabyte thing because when I try to play, I need 6 GB like that’s so stupid

[stray shore]

If you could play with a phone that has less than 6GB of RAM, the game will crash when launching a world.

The game crashes sometimes by only displaying impostors on phones with 6GB, so having less makes it worse.

On devices with 8GB of RAM, I never crashed in the beta.

But good month I am not up to date so I don't even know what was corrected on the app store version.

The bugs encountered were:

The sound from the video player is not working

The microphone forced to use the one from the phone instead of using headphones (causing echo).

The inability to display avatars, when trying to display an avatar a message was displayed (avatars must comply with security settings).

[fervent minnow]

Well I have a lot of stuff on my phone I don’t know what to delete

[rough barn]

6gb ram != storage. you can’t free up more ram if you don’t ready have enough.

[stray shore]

You need to change your phone, not delete apps.

Personally, I upgraded from the iPad 10, which has 4GB of RAM, to the iPad Pro, which has 8.

[untold cape]

Yeah the 6GB RAM / Memory limitation comes from how much RAM the Quest 2 has, which is what they are curretnly still targeting for their mobile version. So what ever VRChat develops as well as all UGC (user generated content) is made with that limitation in mind.

[stark silo]

highly unlikely due to security reasons i reckon

[stray shore]

There's only Fortnite and Fall Guys, but these apps can be installed on the Epic Games Store in Europe.

[stark silo]

vrchat is a different story from fall guys
nothing's stopping someone from injecting some freaky ass code into a custom ipa

[stray shore]

Since this is an official application, I don't see how there could be any problems.

Fortnite and Fall Guys are directly in the Alt Store app and not on a website.

Similarly, for the Epic Games Store, its functions are similar to AltStore.

^w^

[stark silo]

as i've said, people can mod ipas the same as people can mod apks
i don't even think vrchat has a downloadable apk that lets you run the game

it's not about the fact that you can do that with alt stores, since i was doing sideloading since 2017, it's about what people will install

aren't you the person that has issues installing because your country blocked installs for vrchat

[stray shore]

In my knowledge, there is no IPK file, although you can put customized files on AltStore, finding IPK files from the internet is dangerous.

[stray shore]

I just want the developers to communicate about the problem that has been ongoing for 6 months.

[stark silo]

to be fair, if you consider the updates they've been pushing out, the issue you might be having regarding installations issues would probably be considered pretty low on the priority list

[stray shore]

And I'm not trying to install games from an IPK file

[stark silo]

i don't know how the eu altstore works since i'm more familiar with the classic version of it

even then, it seems it's like some regulatory thing that would still have to comply with eu law, no? regardless of whether it's placed on the app store or altstore, there would still need to be compliances iirc

[stray shore]

Maybe, but I would like to have some communication on this, because the developers who oversee the game on this platform don't know if they are finding a solution or if the problem is being ignored.

Contrary to Fortnite, when it was banned from the app store, Epic Games made a precise communication about it.

And not just a simple message (the game is not available in this region)

[stark silo]

again, prioritizing this would take a while before they acknowledge it

they're yet to fix a lot of the more minor issues like how sound is handled in their engine so that video players function properly

[stray shore]

It's been 5 months since nothing has been said about this, I hope it doesn't last another year.

[stray shore]

@stark silo maybe by creating a ticket with support, he will be able to answer my question ^w^

[stark silo]

they're likely not gonna answer with a guaranteed time frame because considering how amorphous vrchat's development is

please stop pinging me on this matter, i'm only giving my best speculation.

[stray shore]

? 🤨 eeeee ok

In itself, it is always good to try. ^w^

[stark silo]

you keep pinging me when i already read this channel often, i answer when i can

[stray shore]

😕

[full moon]

Will iMac be available to play soon?

[stray shore]

No idea but since the iOS version already exists, just an adaptation is needed in terms of controls and interface.

[stark silo]

Until VRC updates the base Unity version to work with a newer version that doesn't have the iOS environment bug, no foreseeable date

[stray shore]

I don't know if the iOS version still has certain problems.

[hot garden]

ive noticed lately every single VRC notif I get on my iPhone just says "VRChat: New Notification" then doesnt give any details :/

[torn peak]

same here

[rough barn]

I’ve seen that once or twice but it doesn’t happen for friend requests

[subtle sundial]

.

[indigo ether]

still wait in EU 🇪🇺

[clear igloo]

Literal main thing ios needs is some way to use gestures and I'll be happy

[granite yoke]

I have Iphone 13 and it said that VRChat is too big to play but I can still download it

[urban wagon]

What’s up with the mic sounding like robots

[true cargo]

Aggressive lag

[rigid surge]

Without at least 6GB of RAM, your phone only has 4GB, the VRChat app just becomes a way to check up on who is on, be sent notifications and do whatever else that you could do on the website, but you can't enter the game.

[rough barn]

honestly what’s the point of even giving me notifications if I can’t click on them and see them…

every time I click a notification it opens the app to my invites which are obviously empty

also can’t edit my bio

companion app still being worse than the website after all this time is really sad

[idle canopy]

i cant see urls even though i have trusted urls on, i also cant load a lot of worlds like prismics, youtube search, and like many other small worlds

[clear igloo]

98% of video players just don't function for me

[rough barn]

for all ios players yep

[shadow junco]

World doesn't load at all, or like, the search or things don't work? Cause I have an iPhone that I test it on and it loads and searches and performs the core functions.

[idle canopy]

It doesnt load at all, it just flashes the “join” screen and black when it trys to load the world

I can try to screen record and send it when i have the time to show you what i mean

[shadow junco]

What's your iPhone/iOS version out of curiosity?

[idle canopy]

Ios version is 26.4.1

Ive tried deleting vrc and redownloading it, updating my phone, i have a lot of space on my phone

[shadow junco]

What iPhone though?

[idle canopy]

Iphone 12 pro max, sorry lol forgot that part

[shadow junco]

Thanks. I figured that might be the case. I've heard other people having iPhone issues in VRchat and they've all been on iPhones below 14 (14 is what I test on). So it might just be a consequence of that 🙁

[idle canopy]

Ah, ok! Thank you so much for the help

[somber wind]

was something changed with the small icon for the app on iOS? I’ve noticed that the app icon is fully gray if it’s in a folder preview, all of suddenly
A phone restart didn’t fix it
Can someone else test this? To see if this is a vrchat bug or just a me issue

[sharp hedge]

Is anyone mic being weird on vrc?

Like not working it but working on other apps

[stark silo]

you got enough space? i know sometimes iOS can start doing some weird stuff with all apps on the home screen when you're running out

[misty anchor]

I wonder, does this happen with all worlds? (I’ve only noticed this behaviour on worlds with audiolink)

[sage owl]

hi i was wondering why does show the pink screen is it glitch

especially when i was watching movie to do i have to restart my phone or just like that

[rough barn]

some materials don’t convert to ios properly from android, whatever that thing is is one of them

[sage owl]

ohh okay

appreciate it mate

[wooden lotus]

Keep on getting kicked out on vrc on my phone

[rough barn]

try not us west servers

they’re buggy atm

[wooden lotus]

Kicks me when I load in my home world

[rough barn]

oof, not sure then

[royal orbit]

Will there ever be a possibility of watching media on VRChat on iPad/iphone

[rough barn]

I believe you can in the LS Media world?

[royal orbit]

I’ll give it a go when everyone leaves the instance I’m currently in but I don’t have any confidence in it 😭I’ve joined so many media worlds and they either crash my game or the media player won’t work

[wintry bear]

also guys this post this very obviously a scammer :/

[rough barn]

right click message > apps > Report (the one with vrcat)

[wintry bear]

"no commands available"

[rough barn]

report, not the ticket bot

[wintry bear]

:/

[rough barn]

shrug, never seen anyone who can’t report with vrcat

only people who can’t stop clicking the NOT vrcat one lmfao

[wintry bear]

there we go

its gone now, only took 3 pings >.>

[unreal bluff]

The bot crashes all the time. Sometimes it's not even visible.

[rough barn]

I know but I had clicked and it was working for me

[rough remnant]

is anybody going to fix the default notification bug where there's a vchat notif that just says "new notification" and nothing else

[fluid shadow]

Check your settings. Works fine for me

[azure dragon]

When android

[royal orbit]

I was so excited to see an iOS update and there was once again nothing to do with video players 😭😭😭

[rough barn]

this af but like anything ever, there are so many incomplete features and it’s instead a new feature nobody asked for that just helps you grow their userbase lol

I haven’t looked into it much but I believe the video player issue is more or less up to the developers of those players

I’ll try to load a url with a raw video player on ios someday and see if it fails

[royal orbit]

Yesss I wish they’d actually focus on the current game and its current features before they’d move onto the next features 🤣especially with iOS because there is so much crap
I’ve said it before but there’s an issue with crashes on certain loading of certain worlds where if you had epilepsy it could be GENUINELY dangerous 😬
And I’ve tried everything at this point so the only time I’ll watch stuff in VRChat is if I’m in a particular group of friends and someone streams it like a hero 😂😂

[stray shore]

I believe that the crashing and freezing issue only occurs on devices with 6GB of RAM.

[north lynx]

Heyyyy

I can’t get my quick menu to click anything

Action Menu

[rugged pasture]

why can’t i log into my account on the app anymore even though nothing is wrong with it

it says VRC.rTgj1H when i try

[fair acorn]

I can’t even log in either

[lunar turtle]

The same hewe mes cants wogs ins eadew

[haughty kettle]

Already a thing

[haughty kettle]

If only they’d allow things the hardware is capable of and that hardware from the 1990s was capable of…

[oak owl]

👋

Why can’t I log in on my iPhone 15 it won’t even log in?

[stray shore]

🤷‍♂️

[oak owl]

Must be I guess wait it out

[dusty verge]

So whenever I tried to enter a code and log into my VR chat account on iOS and the codes are not working. It’s keep giving me an error code.

Or like a malfunction

[plucky depot]

happening to me as well, I filed a support ticket. Hopefully we get a response/fix back soon.

[snow swift]

Is suggestions allowed here?

Imma just say it here and hopefully it becomes a consideration or people thought the same thing;

VRChat iOS having the ability to change status and bio through the app like any other way. It’d be easy on the go if you aren’t on pc or on headset.

[rough barn]

suggestions gotta go in https://feedback.vrchat.com

[snow swift]

Ok ty sorry

[proven hatch]

anyone else cant log in to the app im having issues

[vagrant imp]

Hey uh, so basically i’ve been playing on VR Chat mobile on IOS. I’ve gotten this error exactly like this one. I don’t know how to get into VR Chat. I’ve logged in like a lot, and it still hasn’t worked. I’m here to see if any of y’all have found work arounds or also getting this error.

[vagrant imp]

It’s an overall issue I do believe.

[proven hatch]

ah ok

[oak owl]

I wasn’t able log in with my email or password but it let me log in with discord

[rough remnant]

severe bruh moment

i was clearly logged in before i uninstalled and reinstalled the app because i was getting notifications for groups

[vagrant imp]

Yes it has been happening to a lot of us. Including me. So we would have to find another way to get in.

[plush ravine]

ok so everyone is having log in issues with IOS??

do we know why its doing this?

oof

[green nebula]

I too have the login issue

[fluid shadow]

Cannot dupe this issue

Yeah. Just tested, cannot dupe

Update your app first from app store

[fair mesa]

There’s no update available. Just uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it’s still giving that same error for me as well

[green nebula]

Freshly installed minutes before screenshot on my brand new phone

[fluid shadow]

I dont have a new phone to test. And my old one would not even support this sooooo

[latent narwhal]

just checked this forum to make a post about not being able to log in on ios, but it looks like everyone has the same issue. if its this well known im sure theyll fix it here soon, besides i can just use the website lol

[inner valley]

help me!! no me deja entrar!! y eso ke lo puse todo bien

[green nebula]

All you have to do is not be logged in

[spiral parrot]

I keep logging in and it just perpetually keeps telling me to login

[zealous sedge]

I log in and it puts me in my home world but my avatar wont load and won’t let me join worlds

[green nebula]

Devs any eta on a fix for this? I’ve had my new phone almost a week and I’m super excited to finally have a phone capable of playing VRChat, but I simply cannot due to the app not letting me log in

I’ve even made all my Avis iOS compatible just for this

[fluid shadow]

Could you make a canny with the output log?

Because that will help like... alot for debugging the issue

[marsh pumice]

Apple would only have access to debug logs easily unless you guys made the VRChat iOS app have a debug version / function, like it’s literally since the last update login is not possible, it either acts like you logged in and is still not logged in, or else says there’s a 2FA error when all info is correct and it’s a fresh 2fa code

[rough barn]

just tested for you and can confirm I can load in totally fine

not sure why people are broken here but it’s not everyone

[fluid shadow]

it spits out log the moment you open the app in Files

[marsh pumice]

Seem to be able to log in now this morning, thanks guys 🙂

[primal path]

Hello! I know it must be a little annoying to have a bunch of people constantly bring up the same thing you guys are probably working on but I tried to log in and got this error code, I thought it might be a little of use to help with the issue for some others still struggling

[green nebula]

I’m not a bug tester I do t have TestFlight or bug logs

Full login process

There is literally nothing I’ve been able to do

Managed to log in via discord

[dusky quartz]
