for our project 1867 ( 1867 Historical Role Play - Roblox ) we use modified versions of the standart ROBLOX leaderstats. We would like them to show up on mobile phones also. The problem is they do not show up, neither when playing the game on mobile phones, not in the mobile phone simulation in studio.
What are we doing wrong? Are those scripts disabled by default when using mobile devices in order not to clutter the screen? Any tips on this are more then welcome!

Hello.
A good way to come at this would be to create a GUI, with textlabels and images that would show leaderstats.
To do this, you’d simply need to set the text for a textlabel on the players screen, to the leaderstat value stored in the player object.
Hope this gave some ideas.

Thanks @JackEnforcement! I think thats the right way to go!
No problem, if you found this as a solution, mark it as a solution so other individuals don’t click on your post thinking that you don’t have a solution.
Done ! I understands it is a solution, although I see it more as a workaround. It does nit explain why the standard leaderstats do not show on phones. Also, even if we understand this, we may not be that good at coding, so not certain we ca really implement it as a solution.
But I am NOT ungrateful! Thanks again!

Roblox is implementing leaderboards to certain phones, most phones do not have leaderboards for the sake of screen size.
If you wanted all the phones to have a leaderboard, you will have to make a custom one, but I do not recommend this workaround as it will take up a lot of a mobile players screen making the player experience less enjoyable.
Roblox does not show these things for mobile players as it takes up to much of the screen, and once again going back to the point of player experience.

That seems logical. However I have seen my daughter play many games on my phone that use leaderstats, they even look like the standart ones, and it works out fine.(iphone 10) I also think the stadast leaderboard dorlea not show on ANY phone ( it does on tablets), as it does not show on the phone emulation in studio.
But for our rpg it should probably be more like a ‘status’ showing they player only his own money, hunger, thirst etc… so developing a GUI as you suggested.
But as this is time consuming, we were looking for a way to use the simple stats in the meantime. I demo the game a lot on my phone when I meet important people, so it would be nice to have it as complete as possible.
