Hello. I’m sure this could be a deliberate act on Roblox’s behalf, but I’m here to report this anyway. While there may be a simple workaround if you “Request desktop site” or “View as desktop” the site upon visiting, it’s still annoying to be forced to do this.
Before, there was a button when this inevitable message was promoted that would let you continue viewing the Roblox website from a mobile browser instead of using the app, however it appears it has now been hidden/ removed.
I have tried this from Safari, and Google Chrome for iOS. I have tried zooming in and out of the page and I can clearly see this button is no longer there.

Why is this a problem?
1 - The Roblox app does not offer a place for creators to access the creator tools. I know most tools are accessible via create.roblox.com, but if doing something such as shutting down servers (not the only scenario), you still have to use the website.
2 - The Roblox app’s avatar editor is extremely limited. You cannot filter by accessory type, or even search directly for classic clothing anymore in-app, and generally the search results are poor in the app. The workaround is to just use the website which I and I know a lot of people do. There are more useful features on the site app to such as “Advanced” mode for additional accessories where you can insert IDs to wear more than the classic limit of items when trying to create more expressive avatars.
3 - It generally just causes annoyance to those trying to quickly access more features that aren’t accessible via the app. Having to request the site in desktop view all the time is irritating.
I’m hoping this is just a mistake and the continue to website button is restored.
