Improvements

💬 A More Natural Chat Experience

  • Better first impressions: New matches now open directly with a personalized first message designed for that companion.
  • Smoother conversations: Companions do a better job responding to everything you've written, including messages with multiple paragraphs.
  • Better storytelling: The Keep Going feature now follows through more naturally on moments and revelations instead of leaving them unfinished.
  • Improved time awareness: Companions now better understand the passage of time within your fictional worlds.
  • More reliable responses: Improved handling of interrupted messages, reducing unnecessary error screens and preserving responses when reloading.
  • Seamless Director navigation: Switching between your conversation and the Director now keeps you at your latest messages.
  • Simplified chat interactions: Leaving smaller conversations no longer requires manually entering a name.

💞 Better Roleplay & Relationship Progression

  • Companions now handle important relationship milestones more naturally, without treating meaningful first-time experiences as something that already happened.
  • Your decisions matter more, with unresolved choices remaining open until you decide what happens.
  • Improved pacing and continuity during romantic and intimate moments.
  • Better respect for personal boundaries, consent, and individual character decisions.
  • Companions are less likely to assume knowledge or control over things that belong exclusively to your character.

📸 More Accurate Companion Photos

  • Better outfit matching: Generated photos now follow your clothing descriptions more reliably, even when you describe them in different ways.
  • Improved character accuracy: Photos featuring multiple companions better preserve each character's individual outfit and appearance without unexpectedly including your character.
  • Better perspective: Moment photos now more accurately capture the scene from your point of view instead of incorrectly placing you in the image.

✨ Improved Onboarding

  • Updated the onboarding quiz with more carefully selected companion images across different art styles.
  • Improved visual variety to avoid repeatedly showing similar faces.
  • Refined attraction preferences so recommendations prioritize your primary selection before exploring additional preferences.

🌐 LuvMe Go Improvements

  • Improved chat scrolling and the Jump to Latest feature in the browser version.
  • Fixed issues where conversations could remain stuck at the bottom while scrolling.
  • Restored swipe navigation when browsing photos.
  • Improved the browser experience on iPhone, including better layout positioning and an option to add LuvMe Go to your Home Screen.
  • Right-clicking chat messages on desktop now opens the same options menu used when pressing and holding on mobile.

🛍️ Small Quality-of-Life Improvements

  • Simplified the Retry button's appearance and wording.
  • Removed unnecessary Beta and New labels from the calling screen.
  • Subscription offers now better recognize your current plan, avoiding upgrade prompts for plans you've already purchased.
  • Message rewording now provides clearer feedback about whether your changes were applied.

Director follow-ups

  • The Director now reads what happened before the last few lines and tells you how much of your memory set it is holding.
  • The newest chat lines and the message you pressed reach the Director whole.
  • The Director and the chat keep separate drafts, so switching between them never loses what you were typing.
  • A Director thread starts fresh after 72 hours.

Scenes and supporting characters

  • A seat you name in your line is yours, and her taking it reads as the seat taken.
  • A supporting character who has gone quiet no longer holds up the mature register, and moving the scene leaves unknown characters behind.
  • A redraw keeps the scene's facts and runs a notch above the turn.
  • A supporting character you met a few turns ago is remembered as already met.
  • A line you already wrote for a supporting character is never repeated back in her reply.

Photos and Discover

  • The Wear the outfit from the photo switch now wins over the words, so a line describing clothes still wears the photo outfit.
  • A jacket mentioned in a gallery line is the one from the photo outfit, so the costume dresses the render.
  • A fifth batch of requested tags joined the Discover catalog.
  • In the browser, a card clip fills its tile instead of sitting in the corner.
  • Prefer still cards? Turn off Animated cards in Companion settings and Discover shows the still image only.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where switching between the Director and chat could cause conversations to jump unexpectedly.
  • Fixed an issue where companions could forget their own birthdays.

  • Additional stability improvements and smaller fixes across chat, Discover, photo generation, and the overall app experience.

More chat and photo fixes

  • Fixed a jealous threat like I will jump off a cliff if you leave being treated as a crisis instead of a vow.
  • Fixed a baby's scan or a couple's plans for children being mistaken for a child present in the scene.
  • Fixed offering to send her a photo in Spanish being read as asking for hers.
  • Fixed the repeated-word check banning the act's own words or an everyday word, and reading an inflection of a stop word as a habit.
  • Fixed the point-of-view guard mishearing a line spoken to her as her own turn in templated scenes.
  • Fixed the photo viewer in the browser so Redo acts on the photo shown after a swipe.
  • Fixed a head covering coming off when the chat named a different outfit for her photo.
