Not a bug, your friends are trolling you.


Roblox added a feature that allows you to change your friends (“connections”) display name on your client.

Your friends spread misinformation on the internet; they aren’t true friends.

I figured it was something like that but my alt was showing it too, could that just be imported from contacts randomly?

If you gave permission, most likely. Here’s a help article on this issue.

I’m pretty sure that’s all this was thank you for helping me!

I really dislike how apps automatically change friends’ to their contact name, if that’s how you’ve added them. I rely on their display names to know if they’re comfortable with me saying their name in chat and I’d much rather just see their display name rather than their full legal name

Not a Bug, can be re-opened by the ENG team for review.
