Frequently Asked Questions

AI Troll is a mobile app that lets you run AI language models directly on your phone or tablet. All processing happens locally on your device—no internet connection required after downloading a model.

Yes, AI Troll is free to download and use. Licenses vary by model; you must review and comply with each model's specific license on HuggingFace before downloading.

Only for downloading AI models. Once a model is downloaded, you can use AI Troll completely offline.

Yes! Since version 2.0, AI Troll has been fully localized into 12 major languages, including English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Simplified Chinese. You can switch the app language anytime in the Settings menu.

Yes — if your active model is multilingual. When AI Troll detects a translation-capable model (roughly 1B parameters or larger, e.g. Qwen or Gemma instruct models), a translator button appears in the chat toolbar. It opens a dedicated page where you pick a language pair (or use auto-detect) and translate entirely offline — nothing is sent anywhere and translations are not saved. Quality depends on the model and the language pair; do not rely on it for legal, medical, or safety-critical content. The feature can be turned off under Settings → Features.

Yes! AI Troll is designed with privacy as the top priority. All conversations happen locally on your device. No data is collected, no analytics, no tracking. Your conversations never leave your phone.

No. All AI processing happens 100% on your device. Your conversations are stored only in local app storage and are never transmitted to any server.

No. AI Troll does not require any account, registration, or sign-in.

None. AI Troll does not collect any personal data, usage analytics, or any other information.

Yes. AI Troll is for adults only (18+). It can run uncensored third-party models that may produce mature content. In regions where Google Play provides age signals (as required by law), AI Troll uses the Google Play Age Signals API to block users identified as being under 18; elsewhere we rely on your confirmation that you are 18 or older. The check happens through Google Play on your device and never reveals your date of birth.

AI Troll downloads models from HuggingFace, a popular repository of open-source AI models. You can also import your own GGUF models from your device storage.

AI Troll supports GGUF (GPT-Generated Unified Format) models. This format is optimized for efficient inference and includes everything needed to run the model.

Model sizes vary from several hundreds of MB to 10GB or more, depending on the model architecture and quantization level. Smaller quantized versions (Q4, Q5) are recommended for mobile devices.

For most phones, we recommend starting with smaller quantized models (Q4_K_M or Q5_K_M) in the 1-3GB range. These offer a good balance between quality and performance.

Yes. Go to Model Management and tap the delete option for any model you want to remove. This will free up storage space on your device.

Yes! You can import any GGUF model file from your device storage using the "Import Local Model" feature.

Yes! AI Troll natively supports popular open-source model families like Google's Gemma, Meta's LLaMA, Microsoft's Phi, and Alibaba's Qwen. The application automatically detects the correct chat template and configures appropriate context length limits to guarantee smooth inference on your hardware.

**In versions prior to 2.0,** loading the entire compatible model list at once could cause search lag or UI freezing on low-end devices. **The pagination mechanism introduced in version 2.0** loads models in clean, fast batches (pages), enabling you to search and filter through hundreds of GGUF models smoothly and efficiently.

AI processing is computationally intensive. Larger models require more processing time. Try using a smaller/more quantized model, closing background apps to free up RAM, and ensuring your device isn't overheating.

This depends on the models you download. A typical setup with 2-3 models might require 3-10GB of storage.

AI processing is CPU-intensive, which does use more battery than typical apps. For extended sessions, we recommend keeping your device plugged in.

RAM requirements depend directly on the model file size and quantization compression type:

AI responses should be treated as suggestions, not facts. AI models can generate inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information. Always verify important information from reliable sources.

No. You should NOT rely on AI responses for medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Always consult qualified professionals for such matters.

AI language models work by predicting the most likely next words based on their training. They don't actually "know" facts—they generate plausible-sounding text. This means they can confidently state incorrect information.

Yes! In Settings, you can fully adjust:

• Context Limit: How much conversation history the AI can remember (based on your device's RAM).
• Response Length: Maximum tokens per AI response.
• Temperature: How creative/random vs. focused the responses are.
• Top-K/Top-P: How many token choices the AI considers.
• Repetition Penalty: Reduces repetitive sentences in responses.

If the AI produces content you find inappropriate or offensive, you can flag and hide it directly in the chat. Long-press on any AI message to access the flag option. Flagged content will be hidden from view.

The model may be too large for your device's available memory. Try:

• Close other running apps to free up system RAM
• Download a smaller or more compressed (quantized) version of the model
• Restart your device and try again

Try these steps:

• Check your internet connection
• Ensure you have enough free storage space on your device. WARNING: Manually verify you have enough free storage space *before* initiating downloads.
• Check if "WiFi Only Downloads" is enabled in Settings (downloads won't start on mobile data)
• Try a smaller model first to verify connection and storage permissions
• Note: Downloads continue in the background even if you close the app—you'll get a notification when complete.

You can always delete chats in the list of chats inside the app, or clear the app's data completely from Android Settings.
