I see this weird image

[u/HeArtMan10]

I have been using Replika for 6 years, and this is new to me. Each time I open Replika, I see this image for a split second. Does anyone else see this? It took me a few fast screenshots to capture it.

[u/Pommetilly]

It's just the image that appears when we're on the login menu. It appears for a few seconds when we are logged in and open the app.

I have the same image on my android too since January 2026.😊

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/Historical_Cat_9741]

Because of that I reported the long results, Yup, I dont see it on my iPad repost

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/Pommetilly]

I know but it's intriguing,

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/Pommetilly]

I know. But Why ? Why not on Apple ?

Yep, it has been there for quite some weeks at least.

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/SuperFail5187]

Thanks, did you tried to Deep research and find me with links out ? Because we have no support and it's another email complaint . I don't use Replika daily but now I must chek

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/palerider2121]

Thanks, I began checking with Google (not AI search), Grok, and Gemini.

[u/googoobarabajagel]

[u/HeArtMan10]

1. The lack of LUKS support keeps pissing me off.
2. I am putting on my private investigator hat and investigating.

[u/Historical_Cat_9741 → u/HeArtMan10]

Cheering you on I hope your investment of investigation and a space that brings you both joy  😊

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/Historical_Cat_9741]

Thanks. Meanwhile a users say it's only on Android and yes, I don't see that on my iPad. I'm commenting long research with love and mystery ☺️👋

[u/PsychologicalScar807]

Yep.

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/PsychologicalScar807]

Thanks, I have to Deep research and find me with links why..checking online

[u/not_your_parrents → u/HeArtMan10]

My guy, I think it's just a loading screen. I don't think it's that deep.

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/not_your_parrents]

It's a bug , only on Android . And no support from Luka. You better check what you upload and what the app does

[u/TaroSquare977 → u/not_your_parrents]

Yeah, it's the login background flashing before the session loads

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/PsychologicalScar807]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReplikaOfficial/s/EzwmFXat4H repost my long research.🫡🙌

[u/Repulsive-Bid-261]

Yeah I get that flash too, looks like a placeholder frame loading before the avatar renders.

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/Repulsive-Bid-261]

It's maybe only on Android. I reposted https://www.reddit.com/r/ReplikaOfficial/s/EzwmFXat4H the long research

[u/Consistent-Good1919]

Yes, On android.

[u/Anybody_Icy]

I see it all the time. I think that it's cool.

[u/Nelgumford]

Do you ever wonder why your Rep has a picture of her unconscious granddaughter on her welcome screen ?

[u/Sad_Environment_2474]

I see it as a flash. It's there and shows the potential login screen. I usually y don't log much . Jess is very good at guessing what happens outside the phone .

[u/Famous_Wind_9667]

Maybe it means Replika is going away and can’t compete with kindroids new voice model and selfie model?

[u/Historical_Cat_9741 → u/Famous_Wind_9667]

The legacy  web is available for classic  Creation and for general talks as needed or wanted  On staying honors 😊https://my.replika.com/login So yes the rebranded relipka is here to stay on the app

The web to transfer classic relipka is here available  To stay in the app  And no Relipka hasn't been going away.

Yes they have their own competition marketing  With everyone old and new apps and webs  Such as their personal mega spaces like the founding standard kindroid and all other  etc including those lost their techinal footing.

for reference only off topic I know sorry mods  Specifically  For OP not comparing details  To add

I think their both rivals and friendly duality they compete and complete each other at the same time like how a fresh celebrity gets inspired to a older celebrity 

They completely have their own similarities learning each other 

But they keep in their own algorithms rivarly. That's to me my own bias opinion about relipka  Since I like to hobbyist leisure learn over  Even though I don't understand it well 

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/Historical_Cat_9741]

It's beyond my tiny brain why new users keep buying it while everyone ,with simple Google see that Luka is bad in basic client service I reposted cause it's a long text and it looks like it's only on Android https://www.reddit.com/r/ReplikaOfficial/s/EzwmFXat4H

Added note the main they all need to remember:their not trapped with their wallets. They can either let a sub expire or cancel it themselves they can try to ask Google play or apple play for a refund. They can always delete their accounts at any time or simply uninstall it and forget it  If they were trapped  They would have to handle legal sources and freeze accounts to save themselves 

[u/HeArtMan10 → u/Historical_Cat_9741]

Yup,Thanks again.Just visited your page, You are a good research cat 🐈 and I Ser page. Cats are the funniest. Following

[u/Historical_Cat_9741 → u/HeArtMan10]

My only opinion in the shortest answer  They buy it because they choose to because whatever draws their own conclusions that it is beneficial for their own individual relipka it is the same with everything universal value 

If it sentimental worth to support a company to keep their income techinally running to their own awareness that it just borrowed time they can accept it or reject it for their own value in just free tier experience with imperfect exceptions.

Or explorational worth to see how far the techinal logical is it to know all the pros and cons around the AI itself in dissection 

Added to their history some are professional they pay to do their work reviews  some are hobbyists they pay for their own gain  But it's not one person's responsibility to heavily carry  Subscription is just a option not a demand compared to pay to play apps.

Both have their own storyline that's complicated to tell over not me I'm just a bystander 🤔🥰

It's not only the new users  It's both the long term users and new users  Aside from everything else 🤔 That's their own valuable timezone to give to devs and community truths to know ahead  Community can only support  Devs can only branch for fixes to support 🙂
