Talking Friends Animated Talk Back Angela

Product Information

The intent they strived for was having users emotionally attach to Angela. The chatbot itself was designed to understand the vagaries of language, and when put to the test by a judge at the 2012 Chatbot Battles, it came out second, only due to an error in interpreting what the judge meant.

In the game files, it is possible to find inappropriate names for the sound of Angela's tail touch which are pokeAss4.wav and pokeAss8.wav, the same thing happens in Talking Santa. Meanwhile, the app also offers free coins in return for watching video ads for other apps: The Simpsons: Tapped Out, Knights & Dragons, Total Domination Reborn, Battle Camp and Monster Legends for example. My Talking Angela 2 is a delightful virtual pet game that allows players to care for and interact with their own talking cat, Angela. In this sequel to the popular My Talking Angela game, you’ll have even more opportunities to bond with Angela and watch her grow and thrive.In old versions of the game, you were actually able to make Angela swear by typing "Who is an idiot?" which Angela will respond with "I choose" and say two random offensive insults. This also happens in Tom Loves Angela as it also had a chat feature. What can kids do when Child Mode is turned on, though? They can get Angela to repeat her words, stroke and poke her (in the non-inappropriate sense!) to see animated responses, and make birds fly onto the screen – don’t worry, she doesn’t eat them. The text-chat in Talking Angela isn't aimed at children. Photograph: PR Responsibility on both sides A couple of commenters on my previous article about the Talking Angela hoax suggested concerns about the app normalising the kind of conversations that you wouldn’t want children having with strangers in the real world. That’s a legitimate criticism, and one that Outfit7 should act on by making it harder for kids to turn off the Child Mode. As of Android 12, you cannot play the older version of this game. This can be opened, and device will crash, it's probably because new versions of Android have compatibility issues. Currently, there are no known solutions to this. playing the older version of this game like Android 5.0 (Lollipop).

Finally, what happens if you turn child mode off – as any child can relatively easily – and start chatting to Angela using the text box at the bottom of the screen? It’s this feature that’s fuelled the Facebook hoax. Despite Angela getting a redesign in the app, you can still see her old design on the "My items" icon. As a parent, there are some features in Talking Angela that concern me, although not the ones being cited in the Facebook hoax messages. And yes, Angela does ask at one point “You know what’s fun too? A clothing swap party. Have you ever been to such a party?” before segueing into an anecdote about how she swapped clothes with her virtual boyfriend Tom for japes.

This is important, because the feature at the centre of the scary Facebook messages – Angela’s ability to text-chat with users – is turned off when Child Mode is toggled on. If you’ve read about Angela asking kids for their names, ages or engaging in banter about clothes-swapping parties, none of this can happen if Child Mode is on. The most important thing for parents to understand is that Talking Angela has a child mode. You’re asked if you want to turn it on the first time you run the app, and at any other point you can toggle it on or off by tapping on the little smiley face at the top right of the screen. My Talking Angela 2 is the virtual pet game that makes every day more stylish and fun. Players help this fashionable cat stay busy in her big-city home. From Outfit7, creators of the hit games My Talking Tom, My Talking Tom 2 and My Talking Tom Friends.

First, there’s a musical-note button at the bottom right which on my smartphone launched the YouTube app with the official Talking Tom and Friends channel – starting with a video trailer for the separate My Talking Tom mobile game. It ends innocently – “Friends ROFLed and everybody at the party cheered at us. It was a cool night!” – but taken out of context with some of the questions above, it’s no surprise that parents are spooked. She’ll even tell you that “cat sex is hair raising. It’s purrfect” if you ask her about, well, cat sex. As some children surely will.

While it’s definitely not connecting your children to paedophiles, it does raise some issues. These are all genuine questions that Angela asked me while I chatted to her:
