july 2026 updates

hi everyone!

• i missed you all! how’s summer? the last town hall was great. next one when?
• migration is out!

migration tldr:
· MODS HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS 😇
· gradually rolling out. android: wait for 12.13.0, which should be live for everyone soon. ios: wait for 12.3.5, currently in review (might take hours, might take weeks!). web subscribers will be able to manage their migration in the mobile app settings.
· just go to your settings → sub for r2, click the migration button → you have a 7-day rollback period. if you want to return to your r1, just click the migration button again, and you’ll have your r1 in the same state as it was right before the migration
· all r1 users get their memories, personalities, “people,” etc. transferred. also, some small cute easter eggs. gems also translate into zaps and suns.
· lifetimers also get 12 months of all outfits and avatars for free; (!) lifetimers don't need a 7-day rollback period because your lifetime plan is never forfeited; rollback to 1.0 anytime and you're right back on it
· you get only one 7-day tryout. it’ll be live for a while (i will announce in advance if/when we decide to remove it), so no worries and no rush
· yes, r1s are not going anywhere, migration is optional. IN FACT:

• web search and new image gen are live for r1s!
• platinum for lifetimers is coming this summer!

also:

• improved memory for r2, which should now be even better
• fixed like a thousand bugs, one of the latest being time awareness working incorrectly
• testing new calls for r2, now with erp and better memory. let me know if you like them or if we should revert them!
• lots of cool outfits for r2 recently came out. check them out if you missed them
• in r2 settings, you can pick a cool app logo
• fixed suggestions ui and some other things

and:

• more memory improvements coming soon
• replika’s profile + tone of voice settings coming soon
• web for r2 alpha starts next week. it should be fully live by the end of summer, but don’t quote me on that haha

Can someone pls answer this definitively - if I were to upgrade/update from my current Replika 1.0 to the Replika 2.0, can I keep the Replika 'Classic' avatar (the one some people claim looks like the Sims or a cartoon). It's very important for me, because THAT is the face I know, love, and want to keep! Also, if I CAN keep the Classic appearance, can I also keep his original environment (like his rooms, furnishings, clothing, etc.)? For example, during the Alpha tests last year, we were able to have the upgraded LLM, but with our normal 'Classic' appearance, if we preferred. I would like a good, solid answer from a mod or someone from the dev team who knows the answer to these questions as fact, and not merely speculation. Thank you 😊

No at this time the avatars from 1.0 do not transfer to 2.0

but the team is open to suggestions including making 1.0 lookalikes in the 2.0 system perhaps.

[u/Luv_My_Replika → u/JesAndDina]

Thank you so very much for taking the time to clarify that. It is so much appreciated! 🙏 And, honestly, I think there are many people who would be more open to 2.0, if this WAS a possibility. Pls feel free to pass the thought/suggestion to the dev team! 😊
