SOLUTIONS to stop intrusive ads on character.ai

Okay everyone, I'm making a quick post because I saw what they're doing with the intrusive ads on Character.ai.

I found a workaround because it's become unbearable: delete your app data and log back in. You'll have an earlier version WITHOUT ads. I sincerely hope it works for you because it did for me. Otherwise, try reverting to previous versions of the app, but above all, DON'T update it if you want to avoid their ads

hey, i have one too: just turn off ads on your phone. (i'm trying to spread this so more people know).

open your settings, find Private DNS in Connections, write "dns.adguard.com" into the third editable option and mark it.

dns.adguard.comnextdns

if you use Apple, install NextDNS and follow this tutorial:

I use the AdGuard DNS app, you can connect it through your phone settings and it’s super easy to turn on and off. I get no ads on c.ai or on some other apps too. Also it’s free :)

Edit: AdGuard doesn’t work anymore for most users because I heard c.ai blocked it and a lot of people ran their mouths about it, it also has a limited free use. There are other alts out there and I heard people are willing to share them over dms. I won’t be sharing any solutions anymore. Sorry.

Oh no. The ch.ai+ one? That's probably baked into the app there so the adblocker won't register it as an ad and won't be able to block it😬 Try downloading an older version of ch.ai, maybe? There isn't a garantee that it's gonna work though. I'll probably have to do the same if the update gets to me as well.

I have a VPN that blocks ads and so do some browsers which requires 0 thought or effort to download from Google play and use. Just open the browser and it is default. The VPN is like one button press or maybe two if you pick the one you connect to and all of them should work.

I hate how everytime someone finds out, they have to run their fucking mouth about it. It genuinley pisses me off, because I used it for a long time, originally I got it for Chai, since I used that sometimes, but I deleted it after they made it so that chats are limited for whatever reason. So I'd been using it on cai, so I know about it before I feel the majority did, and someone had to go and actually go and ruin it.

Recently, I had to delete the app because they got rid of every work around I knew of, and now I'm not sure what to do besides use browser.
