Choose the right control for your conversation

Set image mode within a supported Premium chat

Find Image Generation Toggle under Ask when using a Premium chat that supports it. Disabling the toggle stops generation in that image mode and hides its suggestions; enable it again when you want that mode available.

This image preference carries between sessions, but other media retain their own costs and access conditions. Check voice, video and private-content actions individually; this toggle is not a single switch for every format.

Review the proactive options beside the gift icon

Some characters in Realistic chat mode provide proactive-media controls next to the gift icon. Change the relevant toggle from green to gray to disable proactive pictures, voice notes or videos for that specific option.

Look at the options actually available in your conversation, since profiles do not all include these controls. Realistic here names a chat mode; it is distinct from choosing a Realistic appearance when creating a character.

Consider the irreversible Roleplay Mode change

Where supported for a custom character, the upper-right three-dot menu includes Switch to Roleplay Mode. Review its confirmation carefully: switching is permanent for that character, not a temporary choice you can simply toggle back.

For tone alone, request a style in chat; that request does not save personality changes. Use supported character-setup editing for those changes, and do not assume every chat offers an intensity slider or identical controls.

Use a persona to define your side of the interaction

Where available, profile settings let you create or activate a user persona. This describes who you are playing in the exchange, leaving the companion's identity and character definition separate from your own role.

The Premium Plus biography, relationship and intimacy fields provide context about your role. Supply only details you are comfortable submitting, using fictional information instead of confidential facts that the scene does not require.

Request more detail without handing over your next turn

Explain what would make the reply more useful: extra dialogue, a clearer setting or the reason behind a choice. Begin with one focused instruction and read the next response before adding further directions.

Write two brief paragraphs. First show what your character notices about our surroundings, then include their dialogue. Leave my character's speech and actions undecided so I can choose them in my next turn.

Ask for an unfinished point to be continued if the answer ends too soon, or use regeneration for an unsuitable reply where offered. Length requests cannot ensure an exact word count, and extra words do not expand conversation memory.

Your questions

Is image mode a spending switch for all media?

No. Disabling it affects that supported image mode only. Token-funded calls, videos, packs and other actions remain subject to their individual controls, costs and access conditions.

Can I switch a custom character back after choosing Roleplay Mode?

For supported custom characters, this change is permanent. Review the confirmation before proceeding, and use a chat instruction instead if you only want to request a different reply style.

Whose role do the user-persona fields describe?

They describe your side of the interaction, not the companion's personality. A user persona adds context about the role you are playing while keeping the selected character's definition separate.

How do I ask for longer replies without giving up my next turn?

Request the specific detail you need, such as surroundings followed by the companion's dialogue, and ask it to leave your next turn to you. Request a continuation if needed; these instructions cannot guarantee a precise reply length.
