Does Replika remember past conversations?
Updated November 9, 2026
Replika has been around longer than most AI companion apps. It lives in its own app, and once you turn notifications on, it sends messages through the day.
Replika's help center says some of those messages follow up on past conversations, while others are check-ins. That's the clearest public statement about how its memory shows up in practice. It doesn't publish a cadence, and the follow-ups arrive inside the app rather than in your texts.
- Where it runs
- In-app with push alerts
- Texts you first
- In-app messages once notifications are on
- Message types
- Follow-ups on past conversations or check-ins
- Published cadence
- None
Best if you want a dedicated companion app and are happy to keep one long relationship there.
Replika vs Hallie for memory
Both follow up on past conversations, which is the kind of memory you notice day to day. The difference is where it happens. Replika's follow-ups arrive inside its app as notifications. Hallie's arrive as texts in iMessage or Google Messages, in the same thread as everything you've told her.
That's why Hallie ranks first: her memory shows up where you already talk to the people in your life, with no extra app to open.
