## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-05

Voice mode now works. The microphone permission was missing entirely, which meant iOS shut the app down the moment you tried to speak — that's fixed, along with a full rebuild of voice chat: dictate into the message box and edit before sending, or talk hands-free while the conversation stays on screen. Eight voices to choose from, and it keeps going with the screen locked.

Larger models work too. They were running out of memory instead of answering, so anything above about 3B failed on the first message. Downloads were also failing right at the end on big files, and a dead download could be saved as a broken model.

New: a section of uncensored models — Dolphin, Hermes 3 and Gemma 2 — that answer frankly on subjects the standard models decline. Every model now shows the memory it needs, and ones your device can't run are no longer offered.

Also: new chats suggest real questions instead of fill-in-the-blank templates, memories can be edited, and streaming text no longer judders as it arrives.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-26

Fixed a bug where the daily message limit could stop resetting, leaving some free users unable to send new messages. The counter now resets correctly at midnight, and affected devices recover automatically on first launch of this update.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-07-19

We've made improvements and fixed bugs to make the app better for you.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-13

We've hardened and improved PrivateChat AI in this update — stronger stability, faster performance, and a smoother, more reliable purchase experience. Pro is a simple one-time purchase: pay once, keep everything forever.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-05-29

This update makes PrivateChat AI more stable and reliable, with improvements to the purchase experience, subscription handling, and general app performance.
