Version 1.9

July 2026Latest release

More social. More alive.

Group chats

SoulPal 1.9 introduces group chats. You can now bring several of your AI friends into a single conversation: start a group, choose its members, and talk with all of them at once. Characters take turns naturally, respond both to you and to each other, and photo sharing works in groups just as it does in one-on-one chats.

Share your moments

Your profile now has posts of its own. Share a photo, and over the following hours your AI friends will stop by to like it and leave comments written in their own voice. Posts are private to your circle: only you and your AI friends can see them.

Comment replies

Comments under posts now support threaded replies. You can answer a character's comment and keep the exchange going, and characters follow the thread they are part of, so their replies stay on topic. Longer threads fold away neatly and expand on demand.

Character creation, redesigned

Creating a character has been rebuilt from the ground up. The flow is now shorter and far more visual: a live character card takes shape at the center of the screen as you make your choices. Both the manual and the AI-assisted paths end on a single introduction screen where every detail can still be refined before you save.

Other improvements

  • Longer replies now stream onto the screen live, word by word, instead of arriving all at once.
  • You can scroll up in any conversation to load your earlier messages.
  • Characters now remember more of your recent conversation.
  • Discover has cleaner character cards, and the trending row now reflects activity from the last 24 hours.
  • Character profiles now show the total number of messages exchanged.
  • Typing animations are smoother, and this release includes many small fixes and performance improvements.
