Need help with text filtering

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’ve run into this issue where strings are not filtered properly, I’ve read several posts and even studied the docs to be sure I am not doing anything wrong, but I dont think I do.

local textService = game:GetService("TextService")

local function createLobby(player:Player, lobbyName:string)

	lobbyName = lobbyName or player.DisplayName.."'s lobby"
	
	local success, result:TextFilterResult = pcall(function()
		return textService:FilterStringAsync(lobbyName, player.UserId, Enum.TextFilterContext.PublicChat)
	end)
	
	lobbyName = result:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync(player.UserId)
	print(lobbyName)
end

I dont get any errors from the pcall or anything, and the returned instance IS the textFilterResult, but it doesn’t filter the text at all no matter how cursed words I input in. Any help will be appreciated!

Pretty sure messages do not get filtered running a game in studio but do get filtered when in game.

I’ll try it, but there is nothing about it in the documentation.

Try to use the Text Filtering service API
