While Akinator is an interesting game, there are also rumors that it is dangerous .
In addition, there are times when the site or application does not connect , is heavy , or does not open .

This time, we thoroughly investigated why Akinator is dangerous and what to do when you can't connect to sites or apps!
Please use it as a reference♪

What is the cause and remedy when Akinator does not connect?

First of all, I will explain the cause and how to deal with when Akinator is not connected.

There are two reasons why Akinator cannot connect. One is when there is a problem with the device you are using, such as a smartphone or computer, and the other is when there is a problem with Akinator, such as the browser version or app version.

We will explain how to deal with each of the problems of smartphones and computers, the browser version of Akinator, and the application version of Akinator.

What to do when there is a problem with your smartphone or computer?

First of all, I will explain how to deal with problems with smartphones and computers.

If you can't connect to Akinator, but you can't connect to apps or sites other than Akinator, there may be a problem with your smartphone or computer.

If you have a problem with your smartphone or computer, restarting the device may solve the problem. By restarting, the settings will be reset and you can expect the operation to be lighter.

If restarting your device doesn't help, check your device's specs. Akinator uses a lot of data, so if the specs are low, it may not be possible to connect.

The pattern we see with devices with lower specs is that they are using cheap or old devices. Try using it by replacing it with a relatively new device.

In addition, there are things you can do on a regular basis, such as updating the OS and rebooting the device.

What to do when the browser version of Akinator is a problem?

Next, I will explain how to deal with problems with the browser version of Akinator.

If you can't connect to Akinator and you can connect to sites other than Akinator but only Akinator doesn't connect, the browser version of Akinator may be the cause.

If the browser version of Akinator is the problem, restarting the browser may solve the problem. If the browser error says "This site can't be reached", a restart will usually fix it.

If restarting the browser does not resolve the issue, the server may be down. Too many people accessing Akinator can overload the server and cause it to go down.

If the server is down, all you have to do is wait until the server comes back up.

You can access the Japanese version of Akinator here and the English version here , so let's try accessing it several times.

What to do when the app version of Akinator has a problem?

Next, I will explain how to deal with problems with the application version of Akinator.

If you can't connect to Akinator and you can connect other apps but only Akinator doesn't connect, the problem may be with the app version of Akinator.

If the app version of Akinator is the problem, restarting the app may solve the problem. If the app version of Akinator is not connected, there is a possibility that the app is overloaded.

If restarting the app doesn't help, try deleting and reinstalling the app.

What to do when Akinator is too heavy to play?

Earlier, I explained how to deal with Akinator not connecting, but some people said that Akinator was too heavy to play.

If Akinator is heavy and you can't play, try accessing after a while, try reinstalling the app, try checking the communication environment of your PC/smartphone, try restarting your PC/smartphone. There are ways to deal with it, such as trying to free up memory on your PC/smartphone, or alternating between the app version and the site version.

We will explain how to deal with each.

Try accessing after a while

The first thing to do is wait a while and then try again.

The reason why Akinator is slow may be that the server is down due to too many people accessing Akinator.

If the server is down, it may be resolved by trying to access after a while.

try reinstalling the app

Then try reinstalling the app.

The reason why the app version of Akinator is heavy may be that the app is causing a problem. If an app malfunction occurs, symptoms such as an error display will occur.

If an app error occurs, deleting the app and then reinstalling it may resolve the issue.

Try to check the communication environment of the PC/smartphone

Next, try to check the communication environment of the PC / smartphone.

It may be that the communication environment of the PC / smartphone is bad as the cause of the heavy Akinator. So, let's check the communication environment of the PC / smartphone.

If you are using a mobile line, please check if the communication is done properly. Be aware that connecting to 5G can slow things down. Also, you may not be able to connect or have difficulty connecting in subways, inside buildings, while traveling at high speeds, or in rural areas.

Even in the case of Wi-Fi, it may be difficult to connect if you share a free Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi with many people.

Try restarting your PC/smartphone

Next, try restarting your PC and smartphone.

It may be that the processing speed of the PC/smartphone is slowing down as the reason why Akinator is getting heavy. If the processing speed is slow, restarting the PC/smartphone may solve the problem.

If you see any errors or glitches, most of them can be fixed by restarting the device.

Try to free up memory on your PC/smartphone

Next, try to free up memory on your PC or smartphone.

The reason why Akinator is getting heavy may be that the memory of the PC / smartphone is accumulated. If the memory is accumulated, it may be solved by releasing the memory of the PC / smartphone.

There are two ways to release the memory: closing the running application or using dedicated software (app).

Let's check the app version and the site version alternately

Next, check the app version and site version alternately.

As a way to find out why Akinator is getting heavy, there is a way to check the app version and the site version alternately.

For example, if you are having trouble with the app version of Akinator, try accessing the site version of Akinator from your browser. If you can use the site version without any problems, there may be a problem with the app version.

To find out which one is the cause, let's check the app version and the site version alternately.

What is Akinator? what does the app do?

Let me explain what Akinator is.

Akinator is a service that allows you to guess famous people and characters just by answering questions. Akinator is a game developed based on the American play "Twenty Questions".

Based on "Twenty Questions", the Japanese version of "20 Doors" was created and became a hot topic when it was broadcast on NHK.

Akinator appeared in 2007 and was enjoyed all over the world. The Japanese version appeared in 2010.

People who have been using the Internet for a long time may have played with Akinator. Recently, it has become a hot topic on YouTube, and it is a very popular service.

How does Akinator work?

Many people using Akinator wonder why they can guess famous people and characters just by asking questions.

So, I will explain how the Akinator works.

[Mechanism of Akinator] The mechanism of Akinator is Bayesian statistics

First of all, the mechanism of Akinator is haze statistics.

Hayes statistics are based on the fact that even if the data is insufficient, after setting the "probability of occurrence of a certain event" at the beginning, by updating the "probability of occurrence of a certain event" based on further information, the original It is a mechanism to guess the matter of.

Haze statistics are learned by the computer itself, so the more people who play Akinator, the more accurate Akinator will be.

[Mechanism of Akinator] Database is on the Web

Next, the database of Akinator is managed from the Web.

Akinator is a mechanism that derives answers by learning celebrities and characters that someone has answered, but all of that huge data is managed on the Web.

Therefore, Akinator cannot be used without an internet connection.

[Mechanism of Akinator] Accuracy rate UP using refined search

Next, Akinator uses a refinement search mechanism to increase the hit rate.

Answers are derived from a web database, and by asking about 20 questions from there, the opponent is narrowed down and the answers are added.

For example, at first, they start with general questions, such as gender, whether they are affiliated with YouTube, and so on, and then more and more detailed questions. By narrowing down the search like this, the hit rate is increased.

[Mechanism of Akinator] Learning the user's answer

Next, Akinator is a mechanism to learn the user's answer.

Akinator will narrow down the opponent from about 20 questions, but there are times when the answer cannot be derived. In such a case, we will ask the user for an answer based on the information that is closest to the current information.

By learning the user's answers, it will learn new data. Give accurate information when Akinator asks for an answer.

[Akinator] Accuracy increases as the number of users increases

Next, Akinator is designed to increase the hit rate as the number of users increases.

Earlier, I explained that the huge amount of data answered by users in Akinator is managed on the Web.

As the number of users increases, it becomes possible to hit people who only know people in the first part.

summary

How was that.

There are two reasons why Akinator cannot connect. One is when there is a problem with the device you are using, such as a smartphone or computer, and the other is when there is a problem with Akinator, such as the browser version or app version.

If Akinator does not connect, think about which one is the cause and try to deal with it.
