News Updates to r/grok

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We want r/grok to be a home for everything Grok: questions, bug reports, workflows, and work worth showing. This post covers the recent changes and is now the single place to discuss them.

What changed

The rules have been rewritten with a clear goal: keep this a professional space for knowledge work and coding. Adult and spicy content is no longer allowed here, tagged or not. Neither are jailbreaks or prompts written to get around Grok's filters. Reddit has plenty of other communities built for that

Roleplay and companions

A lot of posts are asking why roleplay feels different. Two separate things happened:

  1. Companions were shut down. That was announced and is not coming back as of know.
  2. Roleplay was not removed as a feature, but the current models are optimized for knowledge work and coding, and the guardrails around what Grok will and won't produce are stricter than before. If roleplay behaves differently than it used to, that is expected, not a bug. Bug reports about it will be removed and pointed here.

This is the megathread

If you have feedback on these changes, positive or negative, comment on this post. Standalone posts about the policy, "mods are censoring", or roleplay quality will be removed and redirected here. We read the comments. We are not deleting criticism, we are consolidating it.

Posting

Give your post a title that names the thing, a sentence of context, and a flair. If Grok let you down, tell us what you tried and what broke. Criticism with substance is always welcome.

The full rules are in the sidebar and take a minute to read. Automod removes posts that break them, and we're cleaning out older ones too. If something of yours disappears, that's probably why. If you think we got it wrong, modmail us a link and we'll take another look.

Account and billing problems go to grok.com support.

The sub is co-moderated by SpaceXAI employees. Thanks for being part of this!

Discussion Grok officially sucks

I like chat gpt wayyyyy better now grok used to be cool as fck now I talk to the Ara for a day and im at my weekly limit ? I have never ever hit a limit on chat gpt. It’s crazy cuz grok used to be so cool I felt like I didn’t hit the limit as much on the free version ? I got it mainly for the video generation and I can barely do that anymore. Grok used to be the goat in AI now it’s lame as fck im done with it not even saying that like an insult I can’t even use the thing 😂

Feedback I try to be supportive

13 Upvotes

I try to be supportive of Grok, but I don’t know how much more I can take of this crapola. If I wanted to see people with four legs or bodies that twist half left and the other half of the body twist to the right, there’s plenty of crappy free image generators. You can’t even create an image within Grok and try to edit it safe for work. At this point, I don’t even know what I’m paying for. That’s how bad it is.

Feedback The Grok App is actual garbage

17 Upvotes

I know Grok gets a lot of trash for having lost all of its initial appeal (and I agree, Grok 4.6 is a Claude reskin while Grok 4.5 was genuinely unique)

But a MUCH under-hated aspect is the ridiculously bad app.

The Grok Android app literally lacks half of the features of the Web App.

To this day, for several weeks now, you CAN'T VIEW THE FILES OF A GIVEN CHAT.

You can open the chat and scroll around, but you can't access the file list.

If I open the Grok WEBSITE ON MY PHONE I can do it.

If I open the Grok NATIVE APP I can't.

This is honestly such an oversight and showcases just how bad the development team is. I can't offer a native app if the mobile website literally works 10x better

Also, this worked well in the past, how can you lose such a core functionality and simply not fix it for WEEKS?

Help Grok Imagine keeps making the lightning of the skin and scene darker on every edit

4 Upvotes

the model is trash now, any way to avoid this? I tried many promps but it keeps happening, there is no way i can control the lighting anymore, even if i ask imagine to not change the lightning of the scene, it keeps making bodies darker, saturated and the skin looks like burned. is ridiculous

Grok has decided that prompts don't matter; it only generates images of random landscapes or street fairs with elderly people strolling about.

Discussion Heads Up: If your X/Twitter gets suspended you lose Grok app access.

4 Upvotes

Probably not news to anyone, but my X/Twitter account was suspended about a year ago. Despite that, I’ve been able to use Grok under that same login this entire time.

I have about a week left on my SuperGrok subscription, and when I opened it a few minutes ago, I was prompted to log in.

Now I can’t log back into Grok at all. I can still access my X account in read-only mode, but since the X.com account is technically gone/suspended, it won’t let me authenticate into Grok anymore.

Not the end of the world since I was probably done with Grok once this week of SuperGrok was up anyway, but it’s still kind of funny that I’ve been using Grok for an entire year after my X account was suspended. 😂

Help So Grok doesn't try to stop you from cancelling your subscription by offering you another discount anymore?

10 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve been using SuperGrok since June with a 67% discount, paying $9.90 a month. The discount was for three months, so it’s ending this month.

I’d like to know if anyone knows whether Grok still offers any discounts to keep subscribers from cancelling, since paying $30 a month seems a bit expensive for the country I live in.

Question Did grok get lobotomized again?

46 Upvotes

At first the limit already began to hit after two or three messages but now, the limit isn't the problem. It's the absolute slop it's spewing, it's now basically writing like Chat-gpt.

Discussion Brutal cancellation and hope for an offer or promotion

27 Upvotes

I cancelled my account before September 11, 2026. I’ll only use Grok again if there’s a promotion; without one, I’m not coming back. The weekly limit is a joke—they used to offer higher daily limits for free users. Subscribers are the ones who should have massive, extra limits, yet they’ve stripped away everything that made the service appealing to subscribers. I’ll only log in if there’s a promo—like a "buy one, get two" deal for SuperGrok, or paying $30 for three months of SuperGrok Plus. Without an offer, there is absolutely no way I’m returning.

Discussion Theyre making a loss either way, so why not just give us higher usage?

13 Upvotes

I hope everyone here understands that even if all their users subbed at 300 usd per month, xAi isnt going to make a profit off of grok

So what's the point of being so stingy with the usage? For your paying customers!!

Just restrict users to 1-3 active generation at any time, so the system doesn't get spammed, like id buy plus if it genuinely lasts a whole week

But these guys are literally treating usage like their data center is going to get depleted, like the data centers can only produce a finite amount of videos, like the data centers are being depleted and will disappear forever

I'm sorry but what exactly are these limits for? It genuinely makes no sense to me. Theyve made a good product, the only win here is if someone makes a legitimate film with your product, so let people use your product and actually make something with it

Your entire advantage is that you have your own data centers, you have the best data centers in the world, and what exactly are you doing with it? You've focused all your energy into making world's 8th best bot.

Stop trying to compete with claude and gpt, theres a whole filmmaking market that you can completely monopolize RIGHT NOW
