Outdated Social Link Icons

Is this on the Roblox app on mobile? I noticed the changes are not displaying on here yet but this may simply be because the app needs to be updated and a new version is only pushed out every few weeks. Orr it could require additional changes from engineers. @skpm_plz :slightly_smiling_face:

yes it is on the mobile app, the picture shown has a rounded icon

can confirm the icons are now updated, finally. But for Discord, why is the background color the only thing that’s updated? It’s still the old one. And why is it at the moment, only available on the website? Maybe the social link icon changes for the app might be coming in… presumably v623?

I hate to be that guy, but if the Twitter logo is finally being replaced with the “X” logo across the website/app, then will references to the “Twitter” name be replaced too? It probably should be for consistency.

All "Twitter" references I could find
  • Roblox.com > Settings > Account Info > Social Networks

  • Roblox.com > Group > Configure Group > Social Links

  • Creator Dashboard > Experience > Engagement > Social Links

  • Creator Dashboard (view as group) > Collaboration > Group Profile > Social Links

  • Talent Hub > Creator Page > Links
    image

  • Talent Hub > Team Page > Contacts and Social Media

While on the topic, I just noticed that PolicyService returns “X” instead of “Twitter” now.

I’m a little worried about this potentially breaking existing code. There was no announcement about this.

However, the documentation says that it returns both…?

There would probably need to be separate bug reports for some of these instances as there’s different teams that work in different areas of Roblox.

Very glad it got changed, but we still need to be able to use https://x.com

The Discord logo is also outdated still on game page’s but not the group, it uses a new Blurple and the logo has a new look :frowning:

On groups, it shows the Twitter logo, not the X :thinking:

Group: Old Twitter, New Discord

Games: New X, Old Discord

Twitter still officially uses twitter.com. So, when they switch to x.com, ROBLOX should also be allowed on x.com. It’s too early right now.

All the sharing links use x.com, atm it’s a redirect but it still works :person_shrugging: Could be worth having both

Going to mark this issue as solved but would be great if the Twitter icon could be updated on group pages in accordance with these changes. Regardless, thanks so much for the quick fix! @skpm_plz @AlertCheetah12 :slightly_smiling_face:

Old icons are still showing on the Mobile app and the Desktop apps:-

Mobile app:-

Desktop app:-

And social link icons aren’t updated yet on profiles.

Edit:-
Old Twitter icon still shows on groups on both the website and the Roblox apps.

But the new Twitter icon is displayed on game pages (on the website only not on the Roblox apps):-

I don’t think this should be marked as fixed yet.

Thanks everyone for your extensive testing, it sounds like there are at least a few inconsistencies remaining:

  1. Icons on the Roblox App Experience Details pages are not updated
  2. The Twitter/X icon is not updated on the website Groups page
  3. The name “Twitter” is still being used in various locations and urls
  4. The Twitter/X icon (and potentially other icons) is not updated on the website Profile page

Unfortunately they all require individual changes. We will reach out to all the relevant teams for help but it might take some time.

Appreciate your patience and thanks for letting us know!

@skpm_plz Discord changed its logo. So, the updated logo is now outdated.
