There is a typo in my group name. You can now change group names with typos. I’ve been waiting for you all this time!
Really cool!
Especially for the YouTubers who have changed names. Huge help!
This idea is no doubt has been in the mind of every robloxian who isn’t living under a rock at least once. This update in my opinion is incredible.
ok time to change the name of my groups lol
Ahhh! Thank you! Long overdue, but at least it’s here. My group name was put through the Roblox filter and it is now censored so I can’t recruit people into my group. This will certainly help.
Finally I can change my group names. Thanks Roblox Team.
Great feature! I’ve been looking forward to something like this for a long time. Unfortunately the 2 main ways I’d want to use it aren’t very well addressed with the current flow.
-
Fixing capitalization - I’ve claimed a handful of dormant groups which had names related to mine or my business. Unfortunately, the casing of these names leaves them looking unprofessional and prevents me from using them. Trying to change the capitalization now just gives the message that the name is already taken.
-
Transferring a name between owned groups - As mentioned, I have several variations on my name/brand. If I want to use these, I would have to change the name of the one I want to use, wait 90 days for the recycle, and then risk not being the one to claim it first (especially if everyone in the group is informed when it happens).
I hope you guys can find a way to address those use cases too. Thanks!

Already imagining a super serious group once being called something like “Toilet Troopers” or something.

Creating a new group would mean losing all your members, so if your group is already popular, simply renaming it would be much easier than asking all your members to join that new group.

Great feature but a down side is when you get a ton of messages all saying diffrent groups changed there names.
This might have been mentioned before but I’m way to lazy to scroll and read all the replies here but perhaps a group deletion request? Basically you mark your group to be deleted and you have 30 days to cancel the request before its deleted and the name+ all past names it used will be available to use once again for groups.
Just a suggestion…

The limitation of having to wait 90 days after a change in group ownership before being able to rename the group is needlessly long and could be shortened to something like 30 days in my opinion… Either way, this is a handy update. Very nice.

A long awaited feature, thanks for adding it.
My only problem is that locked groups with 0 members keep their names, maybe their names should be recycled, changed to something else.
Thank you!!!
This is a much needed update, and I probably will be changing one of my groups names, however it is slightly annoying by the fact that your group won’t be searchable under previous names.
Roblox SEO isn’t that great already and the fact that you won’t be searchable under previous names isn’t that great.

I like the idea of changing group names but i got to apparently wait 90 days to name it to a group name that one of my groups was named, which really sucks.

This is going to be a good update for groups that have accidentally named their groups to something else.
I like this update.
Happy about this update! Been waiting for it. Thank you for your work on it.
People who previously responded to the Group Name Change survey received this feature early as a beta.
Never thought I would see the day. Very happy this is a thing.
Overall a pretty good update, the only thing that may cause some problems is that the group will not longer be searchable under the previous name
