Character.AI updated its Terms of Service on June 30, 2026 with technical backend changes (stylesheet and script bundle updates) and localization additions. The detected modifications include new UI language strings for Lorebook functionality (including 'edited-badge' and 'private' status indicators), mobile app download prompts, and Charms bonus clarification for c.ai+ subscribers. These are primarily presentational and feature-documentation updates rather than substantive changes to user rights, obligations, or data practices.
The updated Terms of Service primarily reflect technical maintenance and localization updates. New UI text strings have been added to document Lorebook editing status (including a new 'edited-badge' indicator and 'private' Lorebook notification), clarify mobile app download language, and adjust c.ai+ bonus description wording. These changes do not alter the substantive rights, obligations, or data practices governing your use of Character.AI.
