Can't tell if the filter is working or not

I’m trying to use TextService:FilterStringAsync() but I can’t tell if it is working or not, it doesn’t censor any bad words. Am I doing something wrong, or does it just not work in studio playtesting?

Here is my implementation:

Server
image

Client
image

filtering doesnt work in studio as far as I know, try it in the actual game

Your code can be correct, but In Studio playtests, you are always considered the same user.
Roblox will not censor text that you send to yourself. So even if you open two test players, Player1 is you and Player2 is also you.

Filtering doesn’t work in studio, you need to test it in an actual live server. To avoid getting your game moderated, you should test it with a harmless numeric string that you know Roblox will moderate. I would also recommend testing it in a place only you can join (fully private) just in case.
