Update Required: How to Keep Using Quick Post with AI on the Kijiji App

To ensure you continue receiving the best experience when creating listings, we are updating our platform backend. This change impacts how our Quick Post with AI tool functions on older versions of the mobile app.

What is changing?

We are disabling support for Quick Post with AI on legacy versions of the Kijiji app.

  • Who is affected? This change only affects roughly 7% of users who currently use Quick Post with AI (not 7% of all total Kijiji users).

  • What stops working? If you are running an outdated version of the app, the Quick Post with AI feature will no longer process photo uploads or auto-generate ad descriptions.

  • How to fix it: Updating your app to the latest release will instantly restore full access to Quick Post with AI.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why is Quick Post with AI stopping on my current app version?

We frequently update our AI algorithms and backend infrastructure to improve generation speed, photo processing accuracy, and listing quality. Older app versions cannot communicate with these upgraded AI servers, requiring an update to stay compatible.

2. Can I still post ads manually without updating?

While standard listing flows or web posting may still function, updating is strongly recommended to avoid unexpected app errors, security issues, or missing features.

3. What if my device cannot support the newest version of the app?

If your mobile operating system is too old to download the latest app update, you can continue using all listing tools—including standard posting—by visiting Kijiji.ca on your mobile or desktop web browser.
