3.0.0 moves DreamChat closer to everyday character companionship with local simulated video calls, weather reminders, chat context controls, sticker sharing, updated export files, and steadier long-range screenshots.
1. Simulated Video Calls and Character Callbacks
In one-on-one chats, you can call a character or ask them to call later. Answered, missed, declined, and timed-out calls are saved as chat events. Outside the app, incoming-call prompts use local notifications.
This is a local in-app simulation. DreamChat does not use the real camera or microphone, CallKit, VoIP push, recording, or audio/video transmission.
2. Weather Reminders and In-Chat Weather Questions
Characters can send a daily weather message and answer current-weather questions in chat. Manual region selection does not require location permission. If you choose to use your current location, DreamChat asks for When In Use permission only after that explicit action.
When WeatherKit or current-weather data is unavailable, the app uses a local default reminder so the character interaction can continue.
3. Include or Exclude Tags in Chat Contexts
Chat context tags now have two modes. Include makes replies more likely to use phrase groups that match the selected tags. Exclude avoids phrase groups that match the selected tags. Switching modes keeps the tags you selected in the other mode, so you do not need to set them up again.
4. Updated Share and Backup File Formats
Sticker Management supports moving stickers plus exporting and importing sticker groups. The new .dreamchatstickers file keeps group data and sticker images together in one share file, with preview and selection before import.
.dreamchatcharacter and .dreamchatbackup also use updated file formats that separate primary data from assets such as avatars, stickers, and call backgrounds, making export and import more stable.
⚠ Note: 3.0.0 can still import older character files and backups, but older app versions may not be able to read new-format files exported from 3.0.0.
5. Steadier Long-Range Screenshot Selection
Message screenshots now use an explicit anchor and a frozen selection window, supporting longer selections within 50 messages above or below the anchor. Anonymous preview now looks closer to the image you save or share.
6. Clearer Call Backgrounds and Plan Limits
Each character can control Video Call availability, incoming call frequency, and call background. The free plan can use still images. Upgraded plans can use still images and short video backgrounds. If iOS Reduce Motion is on, a short video cannot play, or your current plan does not support video backgrounds, the call screen shows a still image instead.
