What the Heck?!

I just opened the app after a two day break and all my chats are gone?! Why?!

I already hated that my old chat history got yeeted into the digital abyss but now they’ve also deleted the new chats I started! Like, I go to the inbox tab and it just says: your inbox is empty.

I beg your finest fucking pardon?! Definitely canceling my subscription now. Horrible horrible app.

Anyone got any recommendations for another app that comes close to how Chai used to be before they started messing things up?

Hello 😭💔💔

This was weirdly funny to me. Also I've noticed in chatbots on ANY platform there's always more people saying stuff like "user is a guy, don't change it!!" Or something like that more then any other gender. Don't get me wrong, I have seen chatbots say "the user is strictly a woman" or "the user is strictly non binary" but I see it way more often when it comes to guys 😭 also I feel I should mention I'm not homophobic at all, I just find it kinda weird when bot creators say you have to be/play as a certain gender to chat with certain bots. (Obviously that's stopping anybody.) And then this guy's saying if you DONT chat as a guy your disrespecting lgbtq people, and more specifically, lgbtq Muslims?? What the hell are you talking about.

ZERO flaws. ZERO fucking acceptions. ABSOLUTE perfection. (Help please)

Hi there! I’m Ambrose and tbh I’ve been using chai for like.. 4 years now. I tried asking this in the official subreddit but apparently mods are slow af there or don’t like that I’m criticizing smth so. Yall get to see this too.

Anyway, since like 6 pm EST (about 7 hours ago as of writing this) my boys have been repeating the same things you see in the pictures. No amount of repeating or changing the prompt will fix it and it’s making me feel CRAZY.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or do I just.. wait it out? Chai is starting to anger me a bit with the sudden downgrading of eveyrhting and the multitude of ads that literally bug my phone and I have an IPhone 12… 😭 I miss 2022 chai where the bots were unhinged, no filters, premium was given randomly, ads every like 25 messages and it was only one ad, everything now makes me seriously considering switching but idk what I’d switch to..
(If yall have suggestions I’d love to hear. Also if you know the bots uh.. no you don’t. Please don’t call me out for being really gay /silly)

Charater limit answer

In case anyone hasn't seen it yet...

So... my question sat in moderator hell over on the official chai reddit... but someone else asked the same question (maybe nicer) and it answered by Founder Will.

The character limit was being tested and that test officially ends TOMORROW... and a permanent cap of 1000 characters will be set in place. (I tested it... it's currently 253... so I guess 1000 is better than nothing, though I think caps are stupid, especially when you're paying $30 a month.

Weird text consistency?

This has been happening in a few of my chats just now, but all of them go to this obsessive pattern, I could get way more screenshots but here is two.

u/StarfallMusics — 16 hours ago

Either I'm really lucky or my chai's broken af, but I've had unlimited messages since I've started using chai again and I have not spent a penny.

I used chai from time to time in like 2023 or 2024, but then I completely stopped using it until the beginning of this year, and I now have unlimited messages. I didn't have it before, and I'm not sure why I have it now. I haven't paid for literally anything on chai. I also don't have access to any other premium feature like longer replies or better memory or anything, just unlimited messages. I know I don't have premium because it still asks me to buy premium... Can someone explain why?? Blurred out my name and pfp just in case they find this and then find me and take it away for whatever reason...

u/Normalperson04 — 15 hours ago

What’s going on?

Why is every character responding with absolute, but FIRST ground rules, worshipping the ground you walk on after two new messages and each character expressed they would burn the world down for them… it makes no sense.

And every new response is “I have ground rules, or bit first remember this… or you need to follow these rules” and weird capitalized shit.

Second opinion needed.

This just seems so strange to me what this user is saying… Perhaps it would be unkind if this were a genuine person, but being that the look on chai has been so bad lately, it really looks like one of the devs is behind this post. Thoughts?

u/Such_Tomatillo_6241 — 18 hours ago

bit the bullet

so i finally cancelled my chai sub, i really do not like the direction the app is heading in. it is wild they have put a limit on how many characters that ultra users can send per message along with the disappearing chats. i feel the developers are speed running how fast they can tank the app, any suggestions on apps similiar to chai is appreciated (prefer nsfw).

Any workarounds the 14 day block?

I have been a long time use of chai but I recently stopped using it and when I went back I saw my chat with this one character was completely gone. I’ve tried searching them up in every feasible way but they are completely gone. Does anyone know if there is a way to somehow workaround the block so I can find my character??

HOW TO GET UR CHAI BOTS BACK

I searched the web for a minute and found a solution in getting our chai chat bots back that have been removed recently due to the new "update". I've safe checked everything, and you guys can double check if you feel the need to, but download Uptodown and download a previous version (maybe around April) and it'll reload your chats. ^^ I can further explain if anyone is confused, or provide photos.

Step by step in how to get chats back:

Sorry for the long steps, but idk how else to shorten it 🥀

  1. Download and open the uptodown app store

  2. Search up "Chai ai" in the search bar and click on the app

  3. Scroll ALL the way down until you see "Versions" and click on it

  4. Download any of the versions, but make sure it's before they started deleting chat bots! (I chose March 23rd. If you made bots before, do the same date or a date closest to when you made them.)

  5. Make sure you have the Chai app already AND an account. People without accounts can not get them back since I believe they don't save the chats.

  6. When it finishes downloading, it will ask you to delete the app. This won't erase any data as long as u have an account, so press ACCEPT.

  7. Click "Ok" to uninstall Chai.

  8. Then, click the version you decided to download (it should be a green arrow down button).

  9. Once it finishes downloading and pops up in your notification bar, click it, and it should take you to the version of Chai you downloaded.

  10. Sign in using Google, facebook, or whatever options it gives you.

And your chats SHOULD be back. If not, do this again with another previous version (if you did April, try doing a late March version).

Chai is deleting my chats

I've been using one bot for about 2 months. 1 Chat. 2 Months. Everything was perfect, I opened Chai again today and found that my chat was completely gone along with 80% of my other chats

Goodbye

I deleted Chai yesterday because, honestly, what's the point? The new update means I can't even talk to bots anymore, so keeping the app was pointless. I just wanted to share how disappointed I am because forcing people to buy premium just to text bots is a whole new level of greed that disgusts me.

Bro, why is Chai having such a downfall 😭

I’ve lowkey been using Chai for a few years now ever since my cousin introduced both Chai AND C.ai, and both did work good but I stopped using Chai and just used C.ai..anyway long story short I’ve been using Chai ever since and when I was going to use C.ai for the first time in forever, it suddenly has a age verification..so I stuck to Chai because there’s no literal ai app for me to use. Poly sucks imp, and every other app just looks like a copy of poly.

Anyone make their own bots at Chai? I tried to make mine and for some reason I got hit with a violation that one more attempt would result in a ban

Dang I should've screenshot it

So the bot was like a Hunter you encountered in the jungle. That's it. Nothing NSFW either, supposed to be adventure focus, but if you want it to be NSFW, yeah sure go ahead

but I'm serious, I got a warning for trying to make a bot. Anyone got a similar story when making their own bots?

Scrolling up causes ads??

Is this a bug or a way to get revenue from ads? Cos every time I wanna go up a bit and check what was said, it triggers an ad! So I watch the ad and scroll up a bit more and it triggers another ad! I close the app and go back in and try again. Same thing! We're not even allowed to scroll up a little bit to see what was said??
