As a player, I don’t want developers sending invites to my friends without me knowing and explicitly allowing it. There’s not much of a balance that can be obtained there without allowing that to happen.
The best compromise I can think of is adding more customization to the core UI, in a similar fashion to the existing PromptMessage parameter, but it’s still necessary for them to provide a coregui popup.

I’m lovely the tutorial video format, it makes a lot easier to follow through compare to text only, much needed.

Depends on what you define “fix”. Unless I have incorrectly understood what this option allow you to do, I think that this just causes this screen to show rather then the one with many friends:
Sure don’t get me wrong at all, I think that this is great that rather then having all of the players show you can now just create your own UI and then this prompt will come up but what would be even cooler is if we could have complete custom control of what the UI looks like.
Even if for example rather then us having some type of method to show invite the user (as I could see this be some type of security or privacy issue), allow us to customize the color, design of button and things such as that then just the text. It just adds that much more customization and allow the prompt to look better. One of the main reason why people opt into creating there own custom leaderboard UI is for the exact same reason of that there is just a lack of customization due to it being a core GUI.

Really neat feature, love that we’re finally getting to play around with push notifications a little bit.
Only problem for me is this error message popping up when trying to set it.

The “custom gui” thing is technically possible (with an additional prompt saying “Would you like to invite this friend?”) with the InviteUser property of ExperienceInviteOptions

I used to believe that socialservice was really bad cause of the lack of features it had. Now I think it will make it much better.

Ah, I see. Thanks for pointing this out.
Quick question is there a way to detect if someone was successfully invited or if they joined via an invite? If not, it would be useful to award players with a small number of coins or something when joining the game to encourage players to invite others.

Good update! I always thought it was weird that you only got in-app notifications…
I also love that you guys tested this in Crossroads, it’s not often that Roblox shows off their history, sadly.

This is super cool! 
I would love to see more updates like this, I also love the fact that you can also customize notifications.
Thanks Roblox, I hope to see better updates like this in the future!

My main question about this feature is would the player be able to silence/prevent the notification from being pushed onto their device. Personally wouldn’t want to get a notification from my phone because someone is inviting me to play a Roblox experience with them.
Additionally talking about notifications pushed onto the device, would this feature get implemented on PC/Laptop as well or is it planned to be a mobile-only feature?

I love this. The UI definitely needed a revamp as well as the need to fix the bug that floods the console whenever PromptGameInvite was called.
This solves both. Thanks a lot!

You always were able to enable push notifications as long as you’re 13+ and enable them in settings if you didn’t know.

It brings up a prompt to invite your friends, and you can choose to invite them or not, it does not directly invite your friends.

Can you give the the other prompts that exist deep in SetCore a UI refresh?
