In-game chat will occasionally not send messages on iOS devices

Currently, the default Roblox chat will occasionally not send messages, even when the enter key is pressed and the message doesn’t have any filtered words. The bug happens about every 5-10 messages.

I have been able to reproduce this bug by just chatting text in any game that uses the default Roblox chat. As you can see in the video below, the bug only occurs occasionally and will only last a few tries before it allows you to chat again. Note that I haven’t set off the spam filter.

I unfortunately have not been able to test this on android device but I have been able to reproduce it on an iPhone and iPad. Both devices had the latest version of Roblox installed (2.385.303034) and the latest version of iOS (12.3).

Bubble Chat on mobile (and desktop?) cuts off

This indeed does happen on Android, I use android 7.0 and it still happens like your iPhone and iPad. I have the latest Roblox client on my Android tablet, yet this still happens.

The workaround for me has been to put a space after my my message and it would send

Even if it does not send message after returning, you might need to spam it a lot of times, this might be the same issue with IPad users too

Bumping this. I am facing the exact same issue 4 years later, seems to be an old issue. I’m on Android 15, to clarify.

I recommend updating to the new TextChatService now because, the Legacy Chat System is deprecated and Roblox is planning on removing it.

If you are using the new TextChatService, then you should probably create a new topic.

Thanks for reminding me about that. This issue is prevalent in games with the legacy chat system (Like “The Old Diner”), so when games such as those migrate this shouldn’t be an issue.
