What's New in Private LLM

1.9.16

September 14, 2026

- Chat history. Your conversations are now saved on device and kept in a new conversation list, with search that looks inside every chat, plus rename and delete. - Conversations remember their model. Reopen a chat and Private LLM loads the model it was using - Llama, Gemma, Qwen, Mistral, Phi or DeepSeek R1 - automatically. - Export any conversation to Markdown or PDF, from the chat or straight from the conversation list. - Faster inference, with quicker model loading and switching. - Still entirely yours: nothing leaves your device, and you can turn chat history off in Settings or delete every conversation at once. - Siri and Shortcuts replies now reach the app that asked for them, instead of being dropped. - Email Support now works even when Mail isn't set up - copy the address or the debug info, or open the support page instead. - Accessibility improvements and a number of smaller fixes. Thank you for choosing Private LLM. We are committed to continue improving the app and to making it more useful for you. For support requests and feature suggestions, please feel free to join our Discord, email us at support@numen.ie, or tweet us @private_llm. If you enjoy the app, leaving an App Store review is a great way to support us.

Not functional

Absolute trash. Does not work as AI. It’s unable to answer your questions and is unable to proofread or verify information. Absolute trash.

Don’t waste your money

It doesn’t work on my iPhone, just loops endlessly or generates never-ending #s

Response from developer

Endless loops and runaway "#" characters mean the model is producing garbage, not that the app failed to install. Two causes, both fixable. Check Settings first. If temperature or top-p has been raised above the defaults, output degenerates into repetition and junk characters on any model. Reset them and try again. Then size the model to the phone. Private LLM only lists models your device's RAM can hold, but iOS decides how much of that memory the app actually gets while running. An older iPhone loading an 8B model sits right at that edge, and text quality collapses before the app ever crashes. Drop to Llama 3.2 3B, Gemma 2 2B, or Qwen 2.5 1.5B and the same phone behaves. If your iPhone can't run the models you bought this for, ask Apple for a refund: App Store purchase history β†’ Report a Problem. The steps are on privatellm.app/faq under Purchase & refunds. The next major version raises the minimum device requirement and drops older iPhones, so the model list matches what the hardware can genuinely do.

doesn’t save conversation history

which is the entire point of using local ai instead of just using an online one without logging in. waste of $5 :/

also, the app is significantly less useful than other ai since it can’t do web search
