Hello,

I’ve noticed an issue where the keyboard would occasionally suggests email addresses when typing in the chat on Mobile. It happens randomly but frequently with no clear steps to reproduce it.

Example of it happening:-

That’s not Roblox’s fault - it’s to do with your phone’s keyboard and it’s settings. It will take information you have previously entered and provide it as autocomplete, however it has no way to determine whether or not it should be autocompleted because the Roblox chat bar does not contain the correct data for it to be identified as a ‘password bar’.

You should be able to stop this in your phone’s settings.

I am still convinced that it has to do with Roblox, just like how the “enter key” button showing instead of the “send” button on the keyboard had to do with it.

First of all, this doesn’t happen in any other app, it only does in Roblox and I actually found out that it does not only happen in the chat, but in any textbox instance in Roblox experiences. It doesn’t seem to happen outside experiences.

Regarding how the bug happens, it would just suggest me my email address without even typing anything previously that could trigger it to, it just happens with an empty chat box. While I could probably disable autocomplete on my phone keyboard or settings, it’s not worth doing so because my email address is shown as an autocomplete suggestion just in Roblox.

Finally, I’ve seen multiple Google play reviews and reddit posts about it and it happens on all of my Android devices so I don’t seem to be the only one affected by it. I am not sure if it happens on Apple devices as I don’t have any to test with.

I’ll wait for a staff clarification or response.

It also appears to happen outside experiences on the Roblox app now. Also I am not sure why the Bug Report was marked as “fixed” because it definitely isn’t, the issue is still occuring. This trend seems to be happening on multiple Bug Reports now.

To me, this looks like Gboard being weird as usual. Personally I haven’t ever had it suggest an email address unless I started typing something that looked like it.
