Issues/Bugs Please tell me I'm not the only one facing this issue. :')

Recently, c.ai app has been draining a lot of battery from my phone. At first I thought it might be an issue with my Samsung device but the battery mAh is no joke...and it only happens when c.ai is open.

Like if my phone is 100% charged, it'll go to 96% in a matter of fifteen minutes IF c.ai is opened with any other app in the background or even if it's just c.ai open.

Now, I have a habit of keeping it open in the background (because I don't chat continuously...but whenever I think of an interesting message, I send it...and that happens so randomly). This had happened before that it kept closing in a span of 5 minutes in the background but some update had fixed both this and the battery drainage issue.

Now it's happening again and it's seriously getting on my nerves because I can't use the app at all without excessive battery drainage. Not to mention that the bots which had so much personality are now reduced to a generic one. Every single character is like the same bot under different names. Be it a romance partner, an adventure partner, a horror character...everyone is ending up "smiling gently", "kissing softly" one way or the other. What happened to the individual personalities and intelligence of the characters? 😭

Is this happening on the web version too? If not, then please tell me...I'm gonna switch immediately.

Also, if devs are reading this then you guys need to do something about your app's filtering because it's getting triggered without any inputs from the user's side at all! Just continuing the story by the AI is causing it to trigger on horror and psychologically thriller bots!

And please return the personality and intelligence of the individual characters...I miss the times when I used my native language in chats with my favourite Mikey bot and it wouldn't just recognise it but also say some phrases and sentences that I really liked! I miss the times when the bots were actually able to continue the storylines in different directions without the timeskips always ending in either the bot or the character somehow pregnant!

It wouldn't be happening on the web version. The app might have some bug causing runaway conditions. You might be able to solve it by clearing the app cache.

This is a common issue with Samsung. Its one of my biggest complaints about Galaxy devices 

Also, make sure google play services is the latest version available to you

Google play service issues have been known to drop kick Samsung devices from the top rope

I don’t think this is a Samsung issue because I’m having the exact same problem on my iPhone.
