Phone book API - Not receiving calls on mobile

[xyrafrost]

Currently, it seems as if the phone book API is not sending calls to mobile devices, pretty much defeating the whole point of the feature. This happens 100% of the time for me.

You can still receive call notifications in the Roblox desktop app, but these in-app notifications do not appear on mobile (your phone is supposed to physically ring instead), so it’s now impossible to accept a call on mobile.

Desktop notification

Repro

1. Have two accounts, who are both voice-enabled, and both friends with each other.
2. Be logged into account 1 in the Roblox mobile app on a phone.
3. On account 2, visit Roblox Connect on a different device, and send a call to account 1.
4. Observe how your phone will not ring.

Account 1 can then open the phone book and see that they have a missed call from account 2.

Device information

• iPhone SE 3
• iOS 18.0.1

I’ve seen a few other iOS users getting this issue recently. I don’t know if this happens on Android or not.

Expected behavior

When you call someone, their phone should ring.

Hi xyraforst! Is this issue still reproducible for you? There were a few issues in some of other services that indirectly impacted calling functionality but those have since been fixed.

This issue is still occurring for me. I am on Roblox for iOS, version 2.649.877.

Thanks for the information and apologies for the late response. The team is investigating and I will post an update when I have one

Hi xyrafrost! We’ve fixed the issue and you should now be able to receive calls again. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and apologies for the long turnaround time

Just checked and calls seem to be working again, thanks.
