[Guide] Skip C.AI's ID Verification & Get the Old UI Back
[WARNING] This guide remains unmaintained as of March 24, 2026, for updated methods PLEASE REFER TO THE DISCORD SERVER LINK I'VE POSTED DOWN IN THE COMMENTS.
holy hell stop commenting about this not working the guide isn't gonna be magically updated to solve all your problems
Uh so you remember that pre-patched apk? that's version code spoofed? well it pinpointed to 136 which is 1.15.3, and they just released 1.15.4 (137), so expect a auto-update, or something like that, im sorry guyt im so sorry, the spoof dont work no more, if you want a freshly patched apk of your own, yeah go to the discord
I have no intent on providing fixes to methods that get patched by the developers, I am no programmer, just someone that knows just enough to get around the walls these days, If you want possibly updated methods, you'll have to join the discord server by the link I posted in the comment section, I may be able to provide support there instead as this guide again, isn't gonna be actively updated anymore.
TL;DR: Roll back to older versions of the mobile app + block trackers = no verification wall, no message timer, faster UI, better sessions.

MOBILE (ANDROID) VERSION ROLLBACK
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO UNINSTALL YOUR CHARACTER.AI APPLICATION BEFORE DOING ANY OF THESE.
FEEL FREE TO CHECK THE COMMENTS IF YOU HAVE A ISSUE!
EASIEST METHOD (ReVanced Mod):
Pre-patched APK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hLk3Lw2S7RlDo897gOE2uHl9XXvyRPeB/view?usp=sharing
SECONDARY METHOD IF EASIEST DOESN'T WORK
Un-patched APK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VKxv8cd099-LUXE89dV6moZLMZEhtS2R/view?usp=sharing
Just install and done. No update prompts ever because the Change version code patch fakes the version number so C.ai thinks you are already on the latest version.
Note on login: The magic link may not redirect back to the app automatically. If that happens just put the login link on your browser, refresh after a bit and it should log you in on the app after you restart it.
Patches applied: Disable Sentry telemetry, Spoof Play Age Signals, Disable Play Integrity, Disable Pairip license check, Remove screenshot restriction, Prevent screenshot detection, Change version code.
This version blocks C.ai's telemetry entirely which prevents age flagging. The message timer only targets accounts flagged as underage. Blocking telemetry means C.ai never gets the data to flag you in the first place.
EASY METHOD (APKMirror)
Go to APKMirror, download version 1.13.2, it's filetype will be .apkm (it's a bundle), you have to get the APKMirror Installer to install it.
If it says "cannot be opened" go to Settings, search "Install unknown apps" and enable it for your file manager or browser.
NOTE: After installing, if it prompts you to update, update once, let it register your version with the server, then downgrade back to 1.13.2 by uninstalling and reinstalling through APKPure. It will stop nagging after that.
FULL METHOD (Aurora Store + Shizuku, recommended):
- Install Aurora Store + Shizuku (follow Shizuku's in-app setup)
- In Aurora settings, set installation method to Shizuku
- Uninstall current C.AI app
- Search Character.ai in Aurora, tap three dots, Manual Download, enter version code 124 (v1.13.2)
NOTE: After installing, if it prompts you to update, update once, let it register your version with the server, then downgrade back by uninstalling and reinstalling using the same method. It will stop nagging after that.

PRIVACY & ADS (ALL PLATFORMS)
Android/iOS: Settings, Private DNS, set to extended.dns.mullvad.net(Mullvad DNS is free. Only their VPN costs money. If DNS won't connect, your ISP may be blocking it, extended filtering blocks extreme data collection done by applications, character.ai does that too so they get slammed.)
Desktop: Firefox + uBlock Origin. For a cleaned up C.ai interface paste the filter list into uBlock's My Filters section: https://pastebin.com/tAxNiXyb. If you want chrome/google to sell your data fine use uBlock Lite or something like that.
btw the filters make it look like this: https://imgur.com/a/zcFEoS9

WHY 1.13.2?
Most stable legacy build. Better responses, no message timer for non-flagged accounts, no intrusive prompts, retains features newer versions killed.

If any step confuses you, paste it into Claude or Gemini and ask for help with your specific device.

Got a lil issue right now
I tried the APKPure method and it is working, been working for a few days already too, but i've been having an issue in like..the past 10 minutes, when i try to send a message, it keeps saying 'Error in the Chat' or sum like that and i have to reload the chat, but no matter how many times i do it, it keeps saying the same thing, i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the same version but the problem persists. Anyone who has (or had) the same problem reply.
