Key notes

Character AI is a chatbot service that allows users to create private characters or use the ones available publicly. But, while generating responses, Character AI tends to throw a network error.

The error message reads,Network error – click to refresh chat. For a few users, it’s encountered after every few responses, making the service practically impossible to use. And while there are no sure-shot fixes, a few solutions and workarounds might help improve the situation.

Why does Character AI keep saying network error?

Character AI’s network chat error is usually encountered when the servers are heavily loaded or facing downtime. As per reports, users across the globe are facing it.

If you are getting the Character AI network error on Android or iOS, reinstalling the app might help. This works when the previous app installation has gone corrupt or is missing critical files.

Besides, you could try clearing the app data first, but it’s less likely to work.

As surprising as it may sound, both enabling and disabling a VPN can help get rid of network and chat errors on Character AI. If it’s turned on, disabling the VPN might help fix an unstable Internet connection.
