What Janitor AI and HoneyChat offer
The official app
The public beta came out on 7 February 2026 (newsroom entry). In the App Store it is called “Janitor: Interactive Stories”, publisher — JanitorAI, INC; on 13 September 2026 the rating was 4.41 with 3,197 ratings, age category 17+. A week before the release the service wrote: “the only official app is published by Janitor AI Inc — if you see something else, it is not us”.
How to spot a fake
A search for “janitor ai” in the App Store returns, next to the official app, “J.AI — AI Friends Chat” by Shaanxi Ming Lei Ou Network Technology Co.LTD with a similar icon and 2,831 ratings. It is not Janitor. Check the publisher, not the name.
The app link is on the official site; any “Janitor AI APK” from a third-party site is someone else's build that will get your login.
Restricted mode on mobile
According to the post “How Content Moderation Works on Mobile” (04.02.2026), the app runs a strict filter by default: bots with a high content score are hidden, descriptions and names are filtered, chat messages are checked by keywords. That is the price of being in the stores. The restrictions can be lifted only on the site: janitorai.com/profile-settings → content settings; after that the app syncs with the site.
Against HoneyChat
The case for Janitor AI
A real app with push notifications and a clear publisher. For those who want an icon on the screen and do not want a messenger — a plus.
The case for HoneyChat
No app needed: the service lives in Telegram, which is already on your phone, and in the browser. No store — no fakes and no “restricted mode” for the sake of store rules.
