Hi,

Question 1: AI Character Not Working - "Update to Latest Version" Error

It is surprising that you are getting the "update to the latest version" message for the AI character feature when your app is already up-to-date. Here is a breakdown of potential reasons and troubleshooting steps:

Possible Reasons and Solutions:

• Genuine Bug in the Latest Version: It is possible that the very latest update of CapCut actually has a bug that's causing this incorrect error message specifically for the AI character feature. App updates can sometimes introduce unexpected issues.

  • Wait for a Hotfix Update: If it is a bug in the latest version, CapCut developers will release a "hotfix" update soon to address it. Keep an eye on your app store for any new CapCut updates in the coming days and install them promptly.

• Misunderstanding of "Latest Version": While your app store might say you have the "latest version," there can sometimes be a delay in updates rolling out to all regions or devices simultaneously. It's a less likely scenario, but double-check:

  • App Store "What's New": Go to CapCut's page in your app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) and look at the "What's New" or "Version History" section. See if the version listed there truly matches the version installed on your device. Sometimes, the app store might indicate "latest" even if a slightly newer build is available but not yet pushed to everyone.
  • Restart Your Device: After updating, always restart your phone or computer to ensure the update is fully applied and running correctly.

• Regional Feature Rollout or Restriction: It is possible that the AI character feature is being rolled out gradually and isn't yet fully activated in all regions. Or, in some cases, certain features might be intentionally restricted in specific geographic areas due to regulations or licensing.

  • VPN: As a test (and with caution regarding VPN usage in your location), you could try temporarily connecting through a VPN server in a region where CapCut features are typically fully available (like the US or Europe). Then, relaunch CapCut and see if the AI character feature becomes accessible. If it does work with a VPN, it might suggest a regional rollout issue. However, be aware of the potential terms of service violations and security risks of using VPNs, and only use this for testing purposes, not as a permanent solution.

• Device Compatibility: Although less likely for a feature like AI characters, there's a small chance the AI character feature has specific device requirements (e.g., minimum RAM, processor speed, operating system version).

  • Check CapCut's System Requirements: Review CapCut's official app store page or website to see the specific device requirements for the AI character feature or the latest version in general. Ensure your device meets these specifications.

• Corrupted App Installation: In rare cases, the CapCut app installation itself might be corrupted, leading to features not working correctly.

  • Reinstall CapCut: As a more drastic step, try uninstalling CapCut completely from your device and then reinstalling it from your app store. This can sometimes resolve underlying software issues.

If none of these steps resolve the "update" error for the AI character, it's highly recommended to contact CapCut Technical Support directly at [email protected]. They will be best equipped to investigate if it's a bug, regional issue, or something specific to your account or device.

Question 2: Friend Invitation for Pro Version - "0 Invited Friends"

Here's what could be happening:

Possible Reasons and Solutions:

• Friends Didn't Use Your Specific Link: To get credit for invites, your friends must download and install CapCut directly through the unique invitation link that CapCut provided to you. If they simply searched for CapCut in the app store and downloaded it normally, it won't count as your invite.

  • Double-Check Link Sharing: Confirm with your friends that they used the exact link you shared with them. Resend the link to them and ask them to try again, ensuring they click on your link and install the app from there.
  • Link Expiration: Invitation links can expire after a certain time. Check the expiration date or time limit for the link which you have shared. If it has expired, you might need to generate a new link within CapCut and have your friends use the new one.

• Friends Didn't Install Completely Through the Link: Even if they clicked the link, there might be issues if they:

  • Clicked the link on one device but installed on another: The link click and app install need to happen on the same device for proper tracking.
  • Already had CapCut installed: If your friends already had CapCut on their devices before clicking your link, the invite will not register. The invitation programs are for new CapCut users. They might need to uninstall CapCut first, then reinstall it through your link.
  • Interrupted Installation: If their installation was interrupted (e.g., due to internet issues) and not completed properly after clicking the link, the invite might not register. They should ensure a stable internet connection and complete the entire installation process after clicking your link.

• Delay in Tracking/Registration: Sometimes, there can be a delay in CapCut's system registering friend invitations. It might not be instant.

  • Wait and Re-check: Give it some time (e.g., a few hours or even a day) and then re-check your "Invited Friends" count in CapCut. The system might just need time to update.

• Incomplete Invitation Process: After downloading CapCut via your link, your friends might need to enter your invitation code within the app to complete the process. Ensure your friends input your invitation code after installation.

• Terms and Conditions of the "Free Pro Version" Offer: Carefully review the terms and conditions of the friend invitation program that offers the "free Pro version." There might be specific requirements or limitations you or your friends need to meet to qualify.

  • Minimum Usage/Project Creation: The terms may require invited friends to not just download but also use the app for a certain period or create a project to be considered a valid invite.
  • Limited-Time Offer: The "free Pro version" offer through friend invites might be a limited-time promotion that has expired or has specific validity periods. Check the offer details for any time restrictions.
  • Specific "Pro Version" Type: Clarify what "free Pro version" means. Is it a full Pro subscription, or a limited trial, or access to specific Pro features for a limited time? The invitation program details should clarify this.

• Bug in Invitation Tracking System: Like the AI character issue, there's a possibility of a bug in CapCut's friend invitation tracking system that's preventing invites from registering correctly.

  • Report to CapCut Support: If you've ruled out other causes and you are confident your friends downloaded correctly through your link, and it's been a reasonable time, report the issue to CapCut technical support team by contacting at [email protected]. They can investigate if there's a problem with the invitation tracking system.

To effectively troubleshoot the friend invitation issue:

1. Carefully re-read the invitation program details: Look for any fine print, FAQs, or terms and conditions associated with the friend invitation program within CapCut.
2. Test with One Friend (Carefully): Try the invitation process again with one friend, very carefully following all steps: generate a new link, have them use that link on their device, ensure they are a new CapCut user, complete the install, and then give it time to register. This can help isolate if the problem is with the link itself or the process.

By systematically checking these points for both issues and contacting CapCut support if needed, you should be able to get closer to resolving these problems and enjoying CapCut's features as expected.
