Group shout notifying by default? Good lord that would be one of the most amazing things that ever happened. I’m sure the entire population of ROBLOX that is in groups, especially @Lilly_S and @Polymorphic, would love you for that. Every single person I know that’s in a large group has a group shout notifier plugin installed to notify them when shouts occur.
I wouldn’t necessarily want notifications for all of my groups’ shouts though, which is what I think you were getting at. What I would prefer most is if there was a button on each group’s page to enable/disable notifications for that group. That’s how the current shout notifier plugin by Merely works, and splendidly at that.
This is very useful, I like this so far. Will we be able to get notifications for other things such as when one of your friends join a game (like how Steam does) or as @TraeMan7 said, new catalog items?

It would certainly give users who don’t use extensions a fighting chance at buying some limiteds.
Notifications is the only reason that I have Roblox+ right now. It will be awesome to have notifications supported.
How would it get spammy, assuming a group doesn’t do a lot of shouts? Maybe look into Roblox+'s implementation, it does something to prevent spam from shouts sent very close to each other.
Aw, only notifications for features I don’t/barely use yet.
I would use this if it would have some notifications related to groups, and if it would also allow me to blacklist/whitelist groups for which the notifications are shown.
For a small Group A I might want to allow it to send me notifications for when a member joins, or when someone changes the rank of a member, etc. For a bigger Group B I would only allow it to send notifications when someone does a shout. I would really like if we could have settings per group like that.
If noticifications for messages will be added, I have one big request:
Allow an option to auto-disable notifications (temporarily) while playing a game.
When I play PFB, I still get a lot of botted (group invite) messages, which would be annoying.
A secondary switch in the topright-corner-gear-menu-thing would be nice.
Just a quick “click gear, click ‘Disable Notifications’” and it’s done. (button wouldn’t be visible if notifications are disabled in the Settings screen)
I just get a message on Linux that I need the newest version of Chrome with everything greyed out with the menu there. I am on the beta list. Not tried it on my windows computer yet.
We are looking to expand to other browsers like Firefox and Safari. We have the most users on Chrome, which is how we chose which browser to start with.
Yes, definitely looking to do something for when a friend joins a game (like Steam), but also concerned with it being too spammy. I think play sessions are generally a lot shorter on ROBLOX than on Steam. However, whatever we choose to do, we’ll probably show you guys (beta testers) first and get some feedback on how it feels. (As you can see, our main concern is that the notifications will be spammy and annoying instead of useful.)
Oh, and we’re definitely looking to do catalog-related notifications! The first wave released to the public might not include them, but we definitely want to do them!
Would only game join notifications from people you follow make it less spammy? And maybe a threshold where, per-person, notifications can only pop up every x minutes (to mitigate notifications for when people keep rejoining games)
We’re thinking of limiting the number of notifications you receive. It just means that you might miss some notifications if too many happen within the same time period. We’ll definitely have to play around with the threshold.
We’re looking into an option to turn notifications off while a user is in-game. Alternatively, these notifications don’t show up if you’re playing on full screen.
I use Roblox+ right now for notifications such as when a player joins a game and I can simply click “Follow” without needing to go to their profile.
In regards to it being spammy, I don’t have many friends on my profile however, I’ve not found it spammy as such and also since we can select what notifications we get. We can disable notifications for those that become spammy in the first place.
I personally think it will be a good feature to have.
You get a private message when this happens right? So that would be superfluous. I like the rest though, although some (like XBOX one) seem a little niche or only happen once in weeks.
Is this what you mean by individual toggles? There’s an overall switch for push notifications, and then there are individual checkboxes for each type of notification.
