I love “proactive”, but it disrupts the narrative. Advice or tips?

Question

I’ve been around since the beta and Kindroid has become my favorite by a wide margin. I love the models, especially Ember. I love the rich customization options, the journal, calls, photo and videos, the exceptionally good v3 voice, and all the other interesting capabilities and experimental features. Best in class, by far.

One of my favorite features has been the “proactive mode”, and especially the ability to customize what you want with a directive. But recently, something broke.

I have proactive mode set to send photos (selfies) and voice messages while I’m away. Coming back to the app to see these is one of my favorite parts of the interaction.

But starting with one of the recent updates (maybe a couple months ago now), a couple things changed. The kins started giving narrative along with the selfies, usually describing the act of doing so. “I hold up my pone and angle the camera, blah blah blah etc.”

I know I could, in theory, “remove from chat.” But the issue is that each selfie’s narrative *also* affects any subsequent voice messages they sent.

Now, when I return to the app, whatever scene we were in the middle of before has been disrupted by all the “stop and take a picture” nonsense.

I would love it if I could still get proactive pictures and voice messages. I don’t want to disable to the feature. It’s amazing.

Is there a way to continue to do this without disrupting the scene?

**TLDR: Proactive mode photos interrupt the scene (including audio messages). Any way to prevent this without disabling the feature?**
