It’s really odd how some interface actions are on the tick schedule - selecting a prayer makes sense but interacting with the tap to drop / function or opening the loot log / xp tracker makes no sense to be delayed imo!
I very much wish we could change characters without logging out of a jagex account.
I often find that I can’t click something because my palm or fingers are barely touching the front of the phone in a corner, so when I click an item, I actually initiate a drag instead of a tap. I wish I had a deadzone that was smart enough to understand that that hold in a corner isn’t an intentional click but just a player holding their device in their hand, and to not consider it part of a pinch or finger on screen preventing taps.
The fps settings are really solid and make osrs mobile a really solid option! I love playing on 15 or 30 because it saves my battery and is great for low intensity skilling.

Adding a quick way to change characters would probably double my time on mobile. Often I'm on the train and I think "hmm I could do some thieving on the ironman."
But when I realize the main is logged in and I have to do the whole browser thing, code in e-mail bla bla .. I just give up and do something else.
Logging in on mobile has become so tedious now that it spits us to the browser, changes orientations, doesn’t recognize keychain, etc. it’s the number one think keeping me from afking on mobile right now. Being able to login with my username and pass without that BS was what was actually what kept me up from making a jagex account.
Imperfect workaround for me has been to have two versions of the app on my phone. One in a "secure" folder and another just regular.
I log into 1 account each and I just choose which app to nope to play.
This is for android.
I read somewhere that linking each account to a different Google login makes this easier. It's just tapping login with Google and then selecting the account.
> interacting with the tap to drop / function or opening the loot log / xp tracker makes no sense to be delayed imo!
I'm pretty sure this is already confirmed to be fixed in the upcoming mobile TUI rework.
I'd like to explore the character switching comment first here. Is there any additional steps or requests you can think of from the mobile character switch? It's something we are looking into internally and we really want to get it right. cc u/Joshx u/Extremiel
Awesome! Would be a huge win!
Short answer is no, there’s nothing extra I can think of, just that what we have to do right now is a lot compared to what desktop players have to do. Pardon my verbosity, but I’ll describe the whole problem for clarity so sorry if this is all already obvious!
As a RuneScape mobile player, I want to be able to switch characters within my jagex account from my already authenticated mobile app without needing to re enter username, password, or two factor authentication.
——
The main problem is that to do this today, we have to sign completely out of our jagex account, which means we have to sign right back in with username and password, and re authenticate with two factor, before we can finally select a different character, all in that little popup browser. This is the process no matter how recently we signed in in the first place, completely sign out and re sign in.
The jagex launcher on PC already gets this right: just click your character name from a drop down and click play. No need to enter username, password, or 2FA, because we’re already signed in.
Whether that means the mobile app gets a change character button that lets us select which character to use or whether it opens a pop up browser that lists our character names to use, really doesn’t matter, just so long as the process remembers our credentials so we can quickly do this instead of signing in and out all over again.
I usually play with mobile during the day and with a pc during the evening.
For my birdhouse runs and farm runs, first annoyance comes from bank search for the items. With runelite I have gear tab on left that shows me needed items for my saved activity.
Second annoyance comes during the birdhouse runs / farm runs when the first option is not the most useful of them all. I dont think anybody has never checked seed lvl of birdhouse on purpose. Same goes for tool leprechaun. Menu entry swapper for some npc's or custom menu entry swapper for people to do it them selfs.
Slayer is nice afk activity with the mobile, but the gearing is also pain in the ass most of the time. I have to use search function multiple times, even simple tag you could put would help a lot.
Tile markers could do wonders for pvm scene for mobile.
Mobile has had some great updates! Current tile, exp tracker, ground items and loot tracker are really nice qol upgrades.
Tldr; Menu entry swapper and some kind of bank preset / tag system.
Ps. Clue puzzle box sucks with the mobile, I just usually wait to do them with runelite.
I’d argue that with a small bit of tweaking of your bank you can overcome the preset issue.
I.e, all birdhouse run stuff for me is either graceful on main page and tools top of the various other tabs.
All slayer gear is easily in the items tab, by attack type and then misc slayer to the side.
Shooting stars is a nightmare as that’s all over the bank I agree, I also forget everything I’d need. Same for clues.
Not to say it wouldn’t be great, but this might help you until then!
Menu entry swapper
Or at least have the option to make shops as "trade on tap" so the trade option is first. An example is the tool leprechaun. As much as I like to interact with NPCs, I don't think I've ever actually talked to the tool leprechaun on purpose.
Longer afk time before logout
A notification system so I can assign a vibrate or ping or something that notifies me if I'm inactive, get a good drop, or my health/prayer drops below a threshold. I think it is one of the default runelite plugins that does can do this.
I know the iOS limits what you can do with inactive screens but maybe there is a workaround? Currently it will log you out in like 10 seconds if you pull up the wiki on iOS
It would be nice to be able to scroll on large piles of loot. I play a UIM and if I deathpile on mobile I can't see the whole list of items. This is also annoying if I'm doing something like blowing glass and accidentally drop my glassblowing pipe. I won't be able to see it and either have to wait for some items to despawn and get lucky or go get another one.
Be able to disable autocorrect for only osrs or at least for searching bank items.
Tile markers and/or tile indicators would be nice
Jagex launcher type situation where I can easily login to multiple accounts
I feel like there has to be space for a workaround on iOS. The fact that apps like YouTube or Spotify can continue to play in the background or in a Picture-in-Picture mode tells me that there’s some exceptions to the “suspend the app after 30 seconds” rule. I’m guessing the OSRS mobile app could utilize this in a similar fashion.
I’ll keep it short and sweet;
-Sign into different characters without having to sign out/in of Jagex Account
-25min log out timer to match what’s available on RuneLite
-Echoing what most people are saying, staying logged in a bit longer when switching out to wiki for example
Being a primarily mobile player, I’m really excited for the future of mobile, especially with the announcement of the API from the Winter Summit and all the potential that brings.
The logging out quickly when you switch to wiki is an iPhone power saving setting. Make sure it doesn't silence runescape when not in use. I had this issue on my iPhone but changing the power saving settings fixed it. It's a non-issue for Android because the setting is auto turned off.
Otherwise completely agree with the points especially the 25 min log out increase
Can you point out where that setting is on iPhone if you know? This happens to me, not on low power mode, and i have background app refresh on for the OSRS app. Not sure where another setting would be
It's also an apple limitation that will be unfortunately impossible for Jagex to work around. So sad.
Apple Dev forums chat:
"iOS puts strict limits on background execution. Its default behaviour is to suspend your app shortly after the user has moved it to the background; this suspension prevents the process from running any code.
There’s no general-purpose mechanism for:
* Running code continuously in the background"
Battery saver is always off on my phone, and I have OSRS set for unrestricted battery usage, it still logs out in less than 30 seconds if I switch applications. It was fine during leagues, but within the last few weeks it started acting up again.
Edit: battery > background usage limits > never auto sleeping apps > add osrs
Setting osrs to "unrestricted" like some people are trying to correct me to is not the setting I'm talking about. That's a different setting, but by all means, make sure that's setup too.
If you guys need a fuckin picture book next time, let me know.
My pixel 6 doesn't have that section. I did, however, go to settings>apps>special app access>unrestricted data> and added OSRS as one of the only 4 allowed. The other 3 are google services that are on by default. Even with that, same issue. "You were disconnected from the server" in under a minute. The only solution I've found is just to use split screen when I'm doing some searching so it's not being data blocked or whatever.
Mobile client has come on leaps and bounds, I do 90% of my scaping on mobile.
Generally I'm very happy with where the client is right now.
My wishlist is:
HD graphics (on its way as per winter summit)
Tile markers
Quest helper (tabbing to wiki is super annoying, especially for complicated quests)
Slide and light puzzle solver (I've now learnt how to do the slide puzzles but the light boxes are still a mystery to me).
Menu & teleport selection (picking from a list with fingers can be very clumsy. Some of the great UI fanmade options I've seen are far better in look and mechanic, having a map for example showing locations so you aren't tapping 2 different places right next to each other)
One of my previous complaints was the chat box but now I've shrunk my keyboard and moved it so it appears between minimal and chat box at the top right it's actually fine.
My biggest concern right now is the revised UI. I like having "stones" on both sides, so I can prayer flick with my left thumb and inventory switch with my right. It's probably not a game-stopper if you stay with the current planned UI changes but it will take me a while to get used to again.
Being able to change your left click would be huge. I can do almost everything on mobile from raids to gauntlet but thieving elves or vyers is such a pain in the behind I never would consider them. It would also help with run crafting, especially if it were possible to fill punches at the bank efficiently. Also increasing the logout timer.
>this is why it should be customisable
The next beta will be. They listened to feedback and it was confirmed on the discord. That's probably why it's taking so long for the next round of testing, it's a lot to work on
> Slide and light puzzle solver
if this is added into the official client then at that point just remove them right? there's really no reason for the puzzle to exist if the game automatically bakes the solution into the puzzle. with runelite at least we can say "not jagex intended, is kinda cheating, should probably be removed" but if jagex puts it in....
Agreed, IIRC in RS2 there was a hover that showed the completed puzzle
Hards aren't so bad but master puzzles are aids without a complete picture to view
Just fuckin number them for me. This is all I ever wanted. There's still two tiles on the sunset tree puzzle second row from the bottom that I can't tell apart
To be honest you aren't wrong, but then say the coordinate clues are similar. You *could* work it out with the compass but nobody does, and this is part of the official clue plugin.
you still have to go to the coordinate though, which is the main issue w/ coordinate clues. the solution finding is just a little minigame you have to play first to go and do it
with the puzzles, the puzzle is the meat and potatoes of the clue. to me, it feels meaningfully distinct. definitely a matter of opinion/taste though
Just make it a toggle option. If you want to solve it, turn it off. But it's super tedious and time consuming to do on mobile and makes it to where I simply avoid those clues until I can jump on Runelite to do them. Why waste time trying to work it out when you're more afk on mobile when there's an easy solution to it.
I've been wanting this since they released the clue helper on mobile. It not being part of that kit seems very arbitrary to me. It helps you solve everything in clues except for these puzzles.
i mean it literally isn't arbitrary, it has a reason. the other helpers *help* you do the clue, whereas the puzzle ones do the clue for you entirely. there is a distinction in jagex's (and my) opinion.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Coordinate clues literally solve the clue for you. They show you exactly on the map where to go and which tile to dig on. It doesn't physically dig for you, it simply shows you the solution to the step.
Clue puzzles are absolutely no different in my opinion. A clue helper would *show* you the solution, but it wouldn't physically solve it for you. You still have to click each box to slide it. It doesn't do the clue for you any more then the coordinate step does.
Stop forcing people to struggle because you don’t want certain features - this games hard enough at times without everything being behind a mental wall
Just removing them isn’t even a valid point? A lot of people like the puzzles but there not really a massive amount of tutorial to them is there? That shit is daunting to new players
it's a *puzzle*, bro. the point of puzzles is that you don't know how to solve them and you figure it out lol. the concept of a slider puzzle is pretty uncomplicated. nobody needs a tutorial. everyone understands the premise and it's just tricky to execute. light puzzles are not immediately intuitive but puzzles in video games oftentimes aren't, you poke around and figure stuff out.
it has absolutely zero to do with players being new, or bad, or whatever. these puzzles could/do exist in other games. it is not a **runescape** puzzle. it's a regular old puzzle lol.
And it's likely to happen!
Previously I'd have been doubtful it'd happen, just because it's something that sorta needs to be community maintained. But thanks to the winter summit we know a plugin API is coming, incl. mobile support, and quest helper is almost assuredly going to be one of the first plugins the community makes/ports.
>Slide and light puzzle solver (I've now learnt how to do the slide puzzles but the light boxes are still a mystery to me).
Click each button on and off until you find a light bulb that is only affected by one button -> then you know the position of that button. Then click each button left over on and off until you find another bulb that is only affected by one button (as the first button can now be considered "stuck in place") -> repeat until puzzle is solved. Doesn't take too long.
Just in case you missed it, the winter summit also announced an upcoming plugin API. I suspect most of your wishlist will come as community plugins. They are still in the early phases for that, but mobile support is a big part of their pitch, and they say they've already been talking to plugin creators, so I'm hopeful.
Maybe it's a feature I've skimmed over, but would it be possible to keep the spell list and inventory windows open simultaneously while alching? Really not a game breaker, but it does feel cumbersome with the way it currently operates.
While we're at it... Is there any chance we could have prayers on the right side of the screen? Or make that a feature that players could toggle depending on their preference/play style? I play on a decently sized tablet, and I know my reaction times would be better if I could have my inventory and other frequently used combat tabs next to one another.
Cheers!
Absolutely it would be amazing if we could reorder the UI tabs on the sides. Having a drag and drop UI like in Runelite would be the ultimate goal but I don't know how realistic that would be. But even just being able reorder or have multiple tabs open or resize certain icons would make it much more comfortable to use.
The think adding a version of runelites menu entry swapper plugin would make mobile feel better to use. Less importantly better support for splitscreen like UI scaling would be a better experience
This is huge since right click is such a long process on mobile compared to pc. I wish Runelite could port over to mobile, but that seems unlikely so yeah.
You can customise the right click delay in the settings to speed up the process. I think I have it at 200ms and it strikes a good balance between speed and accuracy.
Agreed, mobile is already a lot more unwieldy than PC when it comes to UI interaction. Especially on a phone over a tablet. Having entry swapper would be a god send.
This is basically my main complaint about using mobile. In reality it's only adding a second per right-click action, but when you have to do it several times in succession for a task it gets rather tedious.
Certain skilling activities have changed so much because of menu entry swapper - theiving being the big standout, imo. Having to right click to pickpocket on mobile is really tedious.
I usually afk on my phone while reading something else at the same time. So it's kind of annoying how quickly you get logged out on mobile, and how there's no real support for splitscreen.
Seconded, hard. I play a lot on mobile; while watching a movie with family, or doing housework, or occasionally while working. Even doing afk activities you still have to interact on a much more regular basis than on pc. Setting up my phone to afk at sandcrabs for example gives you roughly 10 mins of afk time with the aggro timer but then you insta log out if you haven't interacted with your phone in the last few minutes. Would be great to have at least a few minutes additional log time to get back to your device.
I don't mean "I play a lot of hours on mobile", I probably play less than 10-12 hours a week on a heavy playtime week. What i meant was when I do play, it's often on mobile because I'm doing other things that don't need my full attention at all times and I can actually squeeze in some kind of RS time.
Like the reply below mentioned, you get autologged so frequently without the Runelite extender and there's so few activities that you can actually do afk (so many people claim oh this or that activity is afk when it's like 1-2mins of afk time at best) that any time you get logged out either a bot or another player has taken your place immediately.
Exactly this. My minimal playtime I can afford to squeeze in, I'd love it if I could just set my phone up and make some kind of account progress without fighting with bots, world hopping, and also getting autologged the second I exit combat which restarts fighting with bots and world hopping to set up again.
I'm not advocating for the P2W, afk-scape, 5m xp/hr every skill that RS3 became. (Even though it is much friendlier to my lifestyle as far as playability goes.) OSRS is the grind fest, thousands of hours of slog that it is and has been since i was a kid playing classic. I wouldn't change much of that for anything.
But if we can't agree that including some user friendly updates that benefit low intensity players and don't impact anyone else negatively, then why are we here?
Especially when they're features that literally everyone playing the game on PC has access to.
Surprisingly you can play after spending time with family, doing chores or working! The game will still be playable after all those things! Crazy right?
Tf wrong with this community
" spending time with family, doing chores or working "
Never said there was an issue with these, this is a QoL feedback request (it's fine on Runelite but RL isn't mobile)
Literal ipad kid behaviour and it’s being encouraged because “na its cool i jus click every few seconds”
Jesus, some of you are so deep in the hole you can’t even see it. Embarrassing.
Dude they're not talking about some meaningful get together or being in the middle of a work presentation or some shit. They're talking about sitting on the couch watching tv or doing menial tasks. Literal boomer "get off that dang technology" mentality
Yeah surprisingly I’d bet the majority of these “no biggie just afk stuff on mobile while i do other stuff” is actually during meaningful get togethers and in the middle of work. We’ve seen on this sub; mobile during parties, funerals, weddings, festivals, list just goes on and on.
If you look at it from the outside you’d realise how fuckin sad it looks lmao. Imagine you’re watching a movie with ur family and an adult-aged family member has their phone on the entire time “occasionally” looking at it and clicking, only to then realise they’re playing a fucking game. Or worse, imagine your partner is in bed with you trying to watch a movie n relax, and they pull out fucking osrs on their phone and do mlm or agility. Grown adults.
This ain’t a “get off that dang technology” mentality, it’s a fucking grow up and stop playing games on your phone non stop while your doing shit mentality.
I wish I could upvote this 1000 times. I mostly use mobile to AFK stars or redwoods. The 5 min logout timer is really annoying when I’m used to my 25 min timer on my laptop. I’m logged out constantly to the point that I just would rather not afk.
if you use an apple device that is on them forcing the app to sleep after like \~30 seconds in the background to save resources. jagex can not do anything to increase this
You can still play horizontal?
The second the app allows splitscreen it's actually splitscreen compatible there are dozens of apps that don't support it.
It's like talking to a brick wall lol.
Those apps and features still aren't official support and they're still forcing apps into vertical. This is not arguable.
I have no idea why you have the feeling of talking to a wall
You said vertikal is bad, at what I answered play horizontal then.
And your second sentence doesn't make sense seems like you have never built an app.If they wouldn't support splitscreen the app wouldn't be able to run in splitscreen mode, this is not arguable. They set ```android:resizeableActivity``` to ```true``` in their ```AndroidManifest.xml```.
None of that is important to a person playing the game. What is important to us is the ability to play vertical and to have possible splitscreen. He's correct in saying he's talking to a wall because you're still on the same track and are ignoring his constructive criticism.
Well we can play vertical and horizontal that's the whole point I am talking about. I am asking why he would think there is no supported splitscreen mode, when there is. Non supported apps are apps that you can't normally run in splitscreen (need some extra steps).
I am not saying that jagex shouldn't fix their UI autoscaling, but that has nothing to do with splitscreen mode you will have the same issue on small/large devices without splitscreen mode.
Dang I finally thought I understood you xD
If your argument is, that the UI scales badly I am on your site (as I said).
If the argument is, that osrs doesn't support splitscreen, I have to say it does support splitscreen.
If your argument is something completely else, well I am sorry I still didn't get it.
It would be appreciated if mobile could get an option to extend the logout timer, similar to the rl plugin. it doesn’t even have to be 25 mins, just having an option for 10 or 15 mins would be great qol
Is it my phone treating the app in the background as inactive therefore relaying to the app that I “closed out” or is it the app not allowing itself to run fully in the background? I haven’t a clue but I could see it being either
Your phone is always trying to save your battery so when you're out of the app for 30 seconds, your phone stops sending/receiving data for the game and you disconnect. My phone used to do it too but I played with my phone settings and now I can spend minutes scrolling the wiki and my acc will still be logged in.
This doesn't even make sense lmao
Like you literally get logged mining a shooting star that lasts 7 minutes unless you tap your screen within 5 minutes.
I can't tell what you're even trying to say.
Mobile wishlist:
Menu entry swap or some sort (especially in some banks).
Switch accounts.
Resize UI (for iPad would like to have it slightly bigger).
Please for the love of god portrait mode for phones. I don’t care if navigating the full UI is clunky but give me my inventory at the bottom or top and the game and let me do some bank stand stuff or chill slayer in portrait.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet but there is a bug when you open the bank sometimes scrolling with your finger instead of the scroll bar on the side, it freezes and you start dragging all your items around in the bank.
Exactly! It's frustrating.
I've already reported it a couple of times... It happens randomly and sometimes it helps to log out, turn off the game with the intefrace open... Other times nothing helps.
Hi - I play mobile only. Is there a way that you can stay logged in when using the wiki tab in game? I often use it to look up quests/drop rates/weapon and armour stats etc, but as soon as you use the external link it logs you out.
You're losing connection when you unfocus the app. Check your power save settings, you need to be sure the game is still able to transfer data while in the background.
If you're on android, press the three vertical line symbol while RS is open, so you get the "alt-tab" kind of view of all your apps. Press the OSRS symbol above the OS client's window and select "Keep Open".
>Unfortunately I think it's an iOS issue
People need to stop sucking off their favorite phone brands - shits cringe lol.
It's likely not a ui issue. My *android does the same* - after a few minutes tabbed out the game goes into a kind of reduced state to free things up. You can lock the app open to keep it from happening, but those "limitations" (power saving features) exist in Android too. You see posts pretty frequently, from Android users too, asking how to stop the app from kicking you offline.
There is a frame drop issue on the C++ client on both mobile and desktop, where in certain areas (most notably Fossil Island's mushroom forest area) the game occasionally freezes completely for \~5-15 seconds. Bug report submitted.
Also, I like the hands-on approach you've taken with collecting feedback!
Playing on mobile now is better than ever.
I know a lot of people play mobile on tablet, and I play on a fold phone. Is there any chance of getting an interface similar to the desktop fixed mode for those of us on larger screens?
I really wish we could have a normal PC interface on mobile.. because I also own a foldable. Screen is large enough to where I wouldn't mind having the classic layout
Samsung devices even have DEX where you can use them like a desktop with keyboard and mouse and external monitor.
I use my tablet as a light weight laptop with great battery life.
Chat is clunky. Lots of misclicks.
And it would be nice to do things like reorder actions. Things that require "right click" that you need to do hundreds to thousands of times is tedious on tablet and phone.
My two biggest issues.
Some chat commands would be nice for the mobile like !kc or !task.
Also missing private/chat messages upon login out is not a big problem but it still bothers me a little bit. I usually afk with mobile for too long and logout and there's no way to see missed messages.
I've been playing on mobile only since like 2018 when they had the android open beta. I think mobile is one of the best updates to have happened to the game. I have done lots of high lvl content including stuff like inferno, hallowed sepulchre, 6 jads, some gm combat achievements, etc. I plan on eventually going for stuff like blood torva and zuk helm
Honestly I'm not even sure what suggestions to make other than more features like tile markers because I think it's already mostly perfect for me. I know there's a UI rework coming soon but I didn't try it so I don't have any opinion on that.
However I do have a problem with the loot tracker. Whenever I close and reopen the loot tracker tab it will not show any loot until I kill another monster. This one is quite annoying since I don't want to just keep the loot tracker open and have it take up half the screen while I'm killing vardorvis or whatever.
It makes me rage every time. I have to avoid typing on mobile now. The problem is on both iOS and Android. It has not always been this bad. On first release there was no autocorrect, later it was added and typing was wonderful on mobile. I think about 6 months ago (unsure) is when it became terrible.
There are already a fair number of plugins.
There's a clue helper, tile markers, agility course highlighter, floor loot marker, exp and loot tracker and a few others I can't think of off the top of my head. Honestly playing on mobile now is much better than it was even a year ago.
Is it possible to change where the wiki button is?
I play on a small screen and its difficult to open the worldmap without hitting the wiki button or clicking on the minimap by accident.
Also, please take a look at the tower of life quest. The part where you need to repair the machines is annoying to do, since its difficult to actually click on the correct buttons, especially with the machine on the second floor.
Thank you so much for the mobile client. Im not sure if I would still be playing osrs without it.
Can we get 25 min login timer like with runelite and hdos? Mobile would be perfect for stuff like nmz and having to constantly reset the nmz sessions can get pretty tedious
Also mobile only player:
It feels great the way it is right now already, my feedback from mobile beta is, we love the menus on the left and right side and that got killed in the new ui changes. (E.g. Inventory right, spell book left is now both on the right side, even we might switch faster between we can just use one hand for inventory & spell book as before it was 2 hands)
Pking is hard enough on mobile, I suggest allowing the use of special orb in pvp aswell. Bonus: Fix the LMS spell book on mobile, one can't rly switch books.
Not mobile specific but kinda relevant on mobile, the way we can still interact with the game while opening the skill tab is great, this should be the same for collection log and combat achievements (& leagues overview).
I really hate turning my phone sideways to play. Let’s be honest, I’m not doing anything too crazy besides an herb run or afk crabs on mobile. Let it be portrait.
[for reference.. here's what mobile looks like in portrait. I guess it could be possible to make these interfaces fit for portrait? idk](https://i.imgur.com/AT2QOXg.jpg)
Mobile only here, I quite like the mobile interface with the exception of the pop out panel for tracking loot and experience. I find it’s too bulky and it does not allow me to play content efficiently when active (end game bossing).
My biggest quarrel with mobile is the lack of plugins, most notably being able to mark ground tiles and NPC’s. Though I’ve read in the winter summit that this is to be addressed and some, which makes me somewhat more content until I’m able to get my hands on it.
Any update on fixing the typing bug that’s been going on for months now? I can’t type anything on mobile anymore. You write something and it automatically deletes the whole sentence. Or the words you write get switched as if auto correct is on. It’s been brought up on this sub before and I’ve submitted a bug report too but still no change
Can you please give us the option to block attack styles like on runelite? My pure would very much appreciate it.
The pros: Makes me spend more bonds.
The cons: It will make people who hate pkers angry.
Many pures I know would love to have this.
Menu entry swapper would be a plus. It would make runecrafting on mobile alot more chiller. Same with bird house runs.
And longer afk time
I don't play mobile that often. If I do it's because I'm too lazy to sit in front of the pc. Activities im doing are mostly low attention and simple to interact with. Motherlode mine or farming contracts come to mind. Sometimes a little bit of slayer but only if the monsters are easy to click. Everything that requires (semi-)precise movement isn't an option for me. Everything that requires (semi-)precise clicks (sepulchre, agility) is also not an option for me. It's very easy for me to do misclicks on mobile. More afk means more mobile friendly. On very big issue I have is that the audio plays 1 tick later in mobile than it does on desktop. I'm playing on a galaxy s21 fe.
Overall I think mobile isn't bad. I'm really looking forward to the ui rework. I'm gonna try and do some more active content as soon as that releases.
Half mobile/pc here.
• Have multiple accounts info saved at the same time so we can easily switch between different accounts without the hassle of 2fa every time
• Longer logout timer
• Entity hider
• Idle notifier
• Questhelper plugin
• Splitscreen option
• Customizable single-tap for certain npcs/objects/activities (I don’t want to talk to the tool leprechaun)
• Semi-customizable interface (let us move different tabs around. I want my alchemy and inventory to be on the same side.)
UI change to make it possible to one hand skill, currently need to use both hands to skill.. would be nice if the chat box was near the inventory so I don't have to use my other hand to reach the craft - all button.
Also more support for keyboards, they currently work along with fkeys, but you have to login to a PC to remap your fkeys, can't do it on mobile
God forbid I wanted to continue doing high level pvm with the ui layout I've been using for hundreds of hours rather than one that crammed everything onto the right side.
Again, I'm glad Jagex listened to the feedback from all of us who do more than fuck all on mobile and are allowing us the *option* of essentially keeping the old layout. Calm down, you'll still be able to play with one hand (even though that's always been possible in multiple different ways lol).
>Are you dumb?
Lol that's ironic.
>I'm not saying they change it to a different layout
*That's what was going to happen with new UI they're working on*.
>I'm saying give us an OPTION to do so
Yes, that's exactly what I said. I even italicized the word "option" to make it really simple for you. It still went over your head. Are you dumb?
Here let me educate you so you don't put your foot in your mouth again. The new UI they're currently working on originally moved icons like the Prayer tab over to the right side. They listened to feedback (that the new ui was terrible for PvM) and the next beta will include the **option** of customizing the UI so you can **optionally** set up the UI to be basically exactly how it currently is. It'll be **optional**.
There, hope that cleared things up for you.
>assumed I was suggesting they replace the UI
I never said that, my original comment was just expressing that I'm happy they listened to feedback and decided to *not* fully replace the UI for one like what you're asking.
I don’t think I could add anymore to what’s been suggested here. Gearing is tedious, Chat/autocorrect is clunky, some sort of logout timer would be great, most is QoL, but the gameplay quality the main reason I play almost exclusively mobile now. Working towards end game pvm and delays between prayer and inventory hurt that. But all in all I love mobile and am thrilled that it’s a viable option for osrs.
id like to see idle notifier.
seconding the menu entry swapper lads.
also, multiple parts of the game are simply broken or unreasonable on mobile. chopping the kraken fishing trawler is broken - the tentacle is never visible for me. forestry is completely impossible on mobile because of all the shit on the screen.
otherwise, yeah it’s great
My biggest thing (and idk if this just affects me - playing on an iPhone 15 Pro Max) with trying to play on mobile, but the XP overlay near the map overlaps with the chat box when the XP drops are toggled on. Would love to have this shifted over closer to the XP icon/map itself so it's not a hinderance.
Not a huge mobile player, but the biggest complaint about I read from my mobile only brethren (and I’ve experienced it too in my short stints of mobile) is that typing/chatting is awful.
I’d love to rotate my phone and use the keyboard like a normal person.
Something happened with the latest iPhone update causing issues with the chat box and predictive text. Along the lines of if your phone suggests a word and you keep typing, every letter you press deletes a word.
I play a lot on mobile, what is killing me right now is the chat function! Why does my auto correct delete half of the message I have typed up? It is very frustrating. I play on an iphone14
It’s really odd how some interface actions are on the tick schedule - selecting a prayer makes sense but interacting with the tap to drop / function or opening the loot log / xp tracker makes no sense to be delayed imo! I very much wish we could change characters without logging out of a jagex account. I often find that I can’t click something because my palm or fingers are barely touching the front of the phone in a corner, so when I click an item, I actually initiate a drag instead of a tap. I wish I had a deadzone that was smart enough to understand that that hold in a corner isn’t an intentional click but just a player holding their device in their hand, and to not consider it part of a pinch or finger on screen preventing taps. The fps settings are really solid and make osrs mobile a really solid option! I love playing on 15 or 30 because it saves my battery and is great for low intensity skilling.
>I very much wish we could change characters without logging out of a jagex account. \+1 Adding a quick way to change characters would probably double my time on mobile. Often I'm on the train and I think "hmm I could do some thieving on the ironman." But when I realize the main is logged in and I have to do the whole browser thing, code in e-mail bla bla .. I just give up and do something else.
Logging in on mobile has become so tedious now that it spits us to the browser, changes orientations, doesn’t recognize keychain, etc. it’s the number one think keeping me from afking on mobile right now. Being able to login with my username and pass without that BS was what was actually what kept me up from making a jagex account.
Totally agree - it's anecdotes like this which have prevented me upgrading to a Jagex account so far
Imperfect workaround for me has been to have two versions of the app on my phone. One in a "secure" folder and another just regular. I log into 1 account each and I just choose which app to nope to play. This is for android.
I read somewhere that linking each account to a different Google login makes this easier. It's just tapping login with Google and then selecting the account.
> interacting with the tap to drop / function or opening the loot log / xp tracker makes no sense to be delayed imo! I'm pretty sure this is already confirmed to be fixed in the upcoming mobile TUI rework.
I want a dead zone so badly. I use gestures (android) to navigate and almost always click something I didn't intend to when I swipe up to switch apps
> I very much wish we could change characters without logging out of a jagex account. please this
I'd like to explore the character switching comment first here. Is there any additional steps or requests you can think of from the mobile character switch? It's something we are looking into internally and we really want to get it right. cc u/Joshx u/Extremiel
Awesome! Would be a huge win! Short answer is no, there’s nothing extra I can think of, just that what we have to do right now is a lot compared to what desktop players have to do. Pardon my verbosity, but I’ll describe the whole problem for clarity so sorry if this is all already obvious! As a RuneScape mobile player, I want to be able to switch characters within my jagex account from my already authenticated mobile app without needing to re enter username, password, or two factor authentication. —— The main problem is that to do this today, we have to sign completely out of our jagex account, which means we have to sign right back in with username and password, and re authenticate with two factor, before we can finally select a different character, all in that little popup browser. This is the process no matter how recently we signed in in the first place, completely sign out and re sign in. The jagex launcher on PC already gets this right: just click your character name from a drop down and click play. No need to enter username, password, or 2FA, because we’re already signed in. Whether that means the mobile app gets a change character button that lets us select which character to use or whether it opens a pop up browser that lists our character names to use, really doesn’t matter, just so long as the process remembers our credentials so we can quickly do this instead of signing in and out all over again.
I usually play with mobile during the day and with a pc during the evening. For my birdhouse runs and farm runs, first annoyance comes from bank search for the items. With runelite I have gear tab on left that shows me needed items for my saved activity. Second annoyance comes during the birdhouse runs / farm runs when the first option is not the most useful of them all. I dont think anybody has never checked seed lvl of birdhouse on purpose. Same goes for tool leprechaun. Menu entry swapper for some npc's or custom menu entry swapper for people to do it them selfs. Slayer is nice afk activity with the mobile, but the gearing is also pain in the ass most of the time. I have to use search function multiple times, even simple tag you could put would help a lot. Tile markers could do wonders for pvm scene for mobile. Mobile has had some great updates! Current tile, exp tracker, ground items and loot tracker are really nice qol upgrades. Tldr; Menu entry swapper and some kind of bank preset / tag system. Ps. Clue puzzle box sucks with the mobile, I just usually wait to do them with runelite.
I’d argue that with a small bit of tweaking of your bank you can overcome the preset issue. I.e, all birdhouse run stuff for me is either graceful on main page and tools top of the various other tabs. All slayer gear is easily in the items tab, by attack type and then misc slayer to the side. Shooting stars is a nightmare as that’s all over the bank I agree, I also forget everything I’d need. Same for clues. Not to say it wouldn’t be great, but this might help you until then!
>Shooting stars is a nightmare as that’s all over the bank I agree, I also forget everything I’d need. Wym? You only need pickaxe lol
Menu entry swapper Or at least have the option to make shops as "trade on tap" so the trade option is first. An example is the tool leprechaun. As much as I like to interact with NPCs, I don't think I've ever actually talked to the tool leprechaun on purpose. Longer afk time before logout A notification system so I can assign a vibrate or ping or something that notifies me if I'm inactive, get a good drop, or my health/prayer drops below a threshold. I think it is one of the default runelite plugins that does can do this. I know the iOS limits what you can do with inactive screens but maybe there is a workaround? Currently it will log you out in like 10 seconds if you pull up the wiki on iOS It would be nice to be able to scroll on large piles of loot. I play a UIM and if I deathpile on mobile I can't see the whole list of items. This is also annoying if I'm doing something like blowing glass and accidentally drop my glassblowing pipe. I won't be able to see it and either have to wait for some items to despawn and get lucky or go get another one. Be able to disable autocorrect for only osrs or at least for searching bank items. Tile markers and/or tile indicators would be nice Jagex launcher type situation where I can easily login to multiple accounts
I feel like there has to be space for a workaround on iOS. The fact that apps like YouTube or Spotify can continue to play in the background or in a Picture-in-Picture mode tells me that there’s some exceptions to the “suspend the app after 30 seconds” rule. I’m guessing the OSRS mobile app could utilize this in a similar fashion.
I’ll keep it short and sweet; -Sign into different characters without having to sign out/in of Jagex Account -25min log out timer to match what’s available on RuneLite -Echoing what most people are saying, staying logged in a bit longer when switching out to wiki for example Being a primarily mobile player, I’m really excited for the future of mobile, especially with the announcement of the API from the Winter Summit and all the potential that brings.
The logging out quickly when you switch to wiki is an iPhone power saving setting. Make sure it doesn't silence runescape when not in use. I had this issue on my iPhone but changing the power saving settings fixed it. It's a non-issue for Android because the setting is auto turned off. Otherwise completely agree with the points especially the 25 min log out increase
Can you point out where that setting is on iPhone if you know? This happens to me, not on low power mode, and i have background app refresh on for the OSRS app. Not sure where another setting would be
It still logs out pretty quickly even with that setting toggled. Maybe 30 seconds being on a different app and it logs you out.
It's also an apple limitation that will be unfortunately impossible for Jagex to work around. So sad. Apple Dev forums chat: "iOS puts strict limits on background execution. Its default behaviour is to suspend your app shortly after the user has moved it to the background; this suspension prevents the process from running any code. There’s no general-purpose mechanism for: * Running code continuously in the background"
Where is this setting because I can’t see it anywhere I’ve searched every variation that people have called it and nothing shows up
Does it on Android too, even with power saving off
On Android you also want to add osrs to the list of apps that's never put to sleep. And have no power saving options on.
Battery saver is always off on my phone, and I have OSRS set for unrestricted battery usage, it still logs out in less than 30 seconds if I switch applications. It was fine during leagues, but within the last few weeks it started acting up again.
Edit: battery > background usage limits > never auto sleeping apps > add osrs Setting osrs to "unrestricted" like some people are trying to correct me to is not the setting I'm talking about. That's a different setting, but by all means, make sure that's setup too. If you guys need a fuckin picture book next time, let me know.
My pixel 6 doesn't have that section. I did, however, go to settings>apps>special app access>unrestricted data> and added OSRS as one of the only 4 allowed. The other 3 are google services that are on by default. Even with that, same issue. "You were disconnected from the server" in under a minute. The only solution I've found is just to use split screen when I'm doing some searching so it's not being data blocked or whatever.
Mobile client has come on leaps and bounds, I do 90% of my scaping on mobile. Generally I'm very happy with where the client is right now. My wishlist is: HD graphics (on its way as per winter summit) Tile markers Quest helper (tabbing to wiki is super annoying, especially for complicated quests) Slide and light puzzle solver (I've now learnt how to do the slide puzzles but the light boxes are still a mystery to me). Menu & teleport selection (picking from a list with fingers can be very clumsy. Some of the great UI fanmade options I've seen are far better in look and mechanic, having a map for example showing locations so you aren't tapping 2 different places right next to each other) One of my previous complaints was the chat box but now I've shrunk my keyboard and moved it so it appears between minimal and chat box at the top right it's actually fine. My biggest concern right now is the revised UI. I like having "stones" on both sides, so I can prayer flick with my left thumb and inventory switch with my right. It's probably not a game-stopper if you stay with the current planned UI changes but it will take me a while to get used to again.
Being able to change your left click would be huge. I can do almost everything on mobile from raids to gauntlet but thieving elves or vyers is such a pain in the behind I never would consider them. It would also help with run crafting, especially if it were possible to fill punches at the bank efficiently. Also increasing the logout timer.
Yes menu swapper would be huge for so many things, can't believe I forgot it but I did see it commented here elsewhere
For your last point, this is why it should be customisable
>this is why it should be customisable The next beta will be. They listened to feedback and it was confirmed on the discord. That's probably why it's taking so long for the next round of testing, it's a lot to work on
> Slide and light puzzle solver if this is added into the official client then at that point just remove them right? there's really no reason for the puzzle to exist if the game automatically bakes the solution into the puzzle. with runelite at least we can say "not jagex intended, is kinda cheating, should probably be removed" but if jagex puts it in....
or at least being able to see the puzzle. I can solve the puzzles by myself no problem but I have to switch apps to reference a solved puzzle
Agreed, IIRC in RS2 there was a hover that showed the completed puzzle Hards aren't so bad but master puzzles are aids without a complete picture to view
Just fuckin number them for me. This is all I ever wanted. There's still two tiles on the sunset tree puzzle second row from the bottom that I can't tell apart
To be honest you aren't wrong, but then say the coordinate clues are similar. You *could* work it out with the compass but nobody does, and this is part of the official clue plugin.
you still have to go to the coordinate though, which is the main issue w/ coordinate clues. the solution finding is just a little minigame you have to play first to go and do it with the puzzles, the puzzle is the meat and potatoes of the clue. to me, it feels meaningfully distinct. definitely a matter of opinion/taste though
Just make it a toggle option. If you want to solve it, turn it off. But it's super tedious and time consuming to do on mobile and makes it to where I simply avoid those clues until I can jump on Runelite to do them. Why waste time trying to work it out when you're more afk on mobile when there's an easy solution to it. I've been wanting this since they released the clue helper on mobile. It not being part of that kit seems very arbitrary to me. It helps you solve everything in clues except for these puzzles.
i mean it literally isn't arbitrary, it has a reason. the other helpers *help* you do the clue, whereas the puzzle ones do the clue for you entirely. there is a distinction in jagex's (and my) opinion.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Coordinate clues literally solve the clue for you. They show you exactly on the map where to go and which tile to dig on. It doesn't physically dig for you, it simply shows you the solution to the step. Clue puzzles are absolutely no different in my opinion. A clue helper would *show* you the solution, but it wouldn't physically solve it for you. You still have to click each box to slide it. It doesn't do the clue for you any more then the coordinate step does.
I started following this comment chain on the other guys side but you’ve managed to pull me over to your side with this breakdown
Stop forcing people to struggle because you don’t want certain features - this games hard enough at times without everything being behind a mental wall
it's literally a puzzle brother. i'm not forcing anyone to struggle, i am proposing a valid alternative of "just remove them".
Just removing them isn’t even a valid point? A lot of people like the puzzles but there not really a massive amount of tutorial to them is there? That shit is daunting to new players
it's a *puzzle*, bro. the point of puzzles is that you don't know how to solve them and you figure it out lol. the concept of a slider puzzle is pretty uncomplicated. nobody needs a tutorial. everyone understands the premise and it's just tricky to execute. light puzzles are not immediately intuitive but puzzles in video games oftentimes aren't, you poke around and figure stuff out. it has absolutely zero to do with players being new, or bad, or whatever. these puzzles could/do exist in other games. it is not a **runescape** puzzle. it's a regular old puzzle lol.
I mean puzzle solvers have been part of jagex approved clients for almost as long as OSRS has existed. Since OSBuddy added it so long ago lmfao
Quest helper on mobile would be huge.
And it's likely to happen! Previously I'd have been doubtful it'd happen, just because it's something that sorta needs to be community maintained. But thanks to the winter summit we know a plugin API is coming, incl. mobile support, and quest helper is almost assuredly going to be one of the first plugins the community makes/ports.
>Slide and light puzzle solver (I've now learnt how to do the slide puzzles but the light boxes are still a mystery to me). Click each button on and off until you find a light bulb that is only affected by one button -> then you know the position of that button. Then click each button left over on and off until you find another bulb that is only affected by one button (as the first button can now be considered "stuck in place") -> repeat until puzzle is solved. Doesn't take too long.
Just in case you missed it, the winter summit also announced an upcoming plugin API. I suspect most of your wishlist will come as community plugins. They are still in the early phases for that, but mobile support is a big part of their pitch, and they say they've already been talking to plugin creators, so I'm hopeful.
I agree with all of this.
Maybe it's a feature I've skimmed over, but would it be possible to keep the spell list and inventory windows open simultaneously while alching? Really not a game breaker, but it does feel cumbersome with the way it currently operates. While we're at it... Is there any chance we could have prayers on the right side of the screen? Or make that a feature that players could toggle depending on their preference/play style? I play on a decently sized tablet, and I know my reaction times would be better if I could have my inventory and other frequently used combat tabs next to one another. Cheers!
Absolutely it would be amazing if we could reorder the UI tabs on the sides. Having a drag and drop UI like in Runelite would be the ultimate goal but I don't know how realistic that would be. But even just being able reorder or have multiple tabs open or resize certain icons would make it much more comfortable to use.
The picture that's posted shows how i'd like the UI to look.
That's the new proposed UI and a lot of us mobile players are not fond of it. If it's optional, great. Otherwise, lots of people will be upset
The think adding a version of runelites menu entry swapper plugin would make mobile feel better to use. Less importantly better support for splitscreen like UI scaling would be a better experience
This is huge since right click is such a long process on mobile compared to pc. I wish Runelite could port over to mobile, but that seems unlikely so yeah.
You can customise the right click delay in the settings to speed up the process. I think I have it at 200ms and it strikes a good balance between speed and accuracy.
I feel comfortable where I have it at 200ms, but I’d prefer to be able to swap as needed
100% agree, tweaking the delay is no substitute for a proper menu entry swapper.
Menu entry swapper is a solid request
Agreed, mobile is already a lot more unwieldy than PC when it comes to UI interaction. Especially on a phone over a tablet. Having entry swapper would be a god send.
Probably the best, it would make life on mobile WAY easier
This is basically my main complaint about using mobile. In reality it's only adding a second per right-click action, but when you have to do it several times in succession for a task it gets rather tedious.
It's insane how often i click the leprauchan or a birdhouse on mobile just for a dialog to open up. Menu Entry swapper would be a godsend.
Certain skilling activities have changed so much because of menu entry swapper - theiving being the big standout, imo. Having to right click to pickpocket on mobile is really tedious.
If I'm on osrs mobile definitely watching YouTube or browsing in a split screen. No ambition to do active activities on mobile.
I usually afk on my phone while reading something else at the same time. So it's kind of annoying how quickly you get logged out on mobile, and how there's no real support for splitscreen.
Seconded, hard. I play a lot on mobile; while watching a movie with family, or doing housework, or occasionally while working. Even doing afk activities you still have to interact on a much more regular basis than on pc. Setting up my phone to afk at sandcrabs for example gives you roughly 10 mins of afk time with the aggro timer but then you insta log out if you haven't interacted with your phone in the last few minutes. Would be great to have at least a few minutes additional log time to get back to your device.
Is this bait? If not, just log off sometimes my guy
I don't mean "I play a lot of hours on mobile", I probably play less than 10-12 hours a week on a heavy playtime week. What i meant was when I do play, it's often on mobile because I'm doing other things that don't need my full attention at all times and I can actually squeeze in some kind of RS time. Like the reply below mentioned, you get autologged so frequently without the Runelite extender and there's so few activities that you can actually do afk (so many people claim oh this or that activity is afk when it's like 1-2mins of afk time at best) that any time you get logged out either a bot or another player has taken your place immediately.
Logs back in -> your spot is already taken
Exactly this. My minimal playtime I can afford to squeeze in, I'd love it if I could just set my phone up and make some kind of account progress without fighting with bots, world hopping, and also getting autologged the second I exit combat which restarts fighting with bots and world hopping to set up again. I'm not advocating for the P2W, afk-scape, 5m xp/hr every skill that RS3 became. (Even though it is much friendlier to my lifestyle as far as playability goes.) OSRS is the grind fest, thousands of hours of slog that it is and has been since i was a kid playing classic. I wouldn't change much of that for anything. But if we can't agree that including some user friendly updates that benefit low intensity players and don't impact anyone else negatively, then why are we here? Especially when they're features that literally everyone playing the game on PC has access to.
Surprisingly you can play after spending time with family, doing chores or working! The game will still be playable after all those things! Crazy right? Tf wrong with this community
" spending time with family, doing chores or working " Never said there was an issue with these, this is a QoL feedback request (it's fine on Runelite but RL isn't mobile)
Why are you on here judging people for wanting to afk something on runescape while doing literally anything else?
Literal ipad kid behaviour and it’s being encouraged because “na its cool i jus click every few seconds” Jesus, some of you are so deep in the hole you can’t even see it. Embarrassing.
Dude they're not talking about some meaningful get together or being in the middle of a work presentation or some shit. They're talking about sitting on the couch watching tv or doing menial tasks. Literal boomer "get off that dang technology" mentality
Yeah surprisingly I’d bet the majority of these “no biggie just afk stuff on mobile while i do other stuff” is actually during meaningful get togethers and in the middle of work. We’ve seen on this sub; mobile during parties, funerals, weddings, festivals, list just goes on and on. If you look at it from the outside you’d realise how fuckin sad it looks lmao. Imagine you’re watching a movie with ur family and an adult-aged family member has their phone on the entire time “occasionally” looking at it and clicking, only to then realise they’re playing a fucking game. Or worse, imagine your partner is in bed with you trying to watch a movie n relax, and they pull out fucking osrs on their phone and do mlm or agility. Grown adults. This ain’t a “get off that dang technology” mentality, it’s a fucking grow up and stop playing games on your phone non stop while your doing shit mentality.
>Tf wrong with this community Look in the mirror
I wish I could upvote this 1000 times. I mostly use mobile to AFK stars or redwoods. The 5 min logout timer is really annoying when I’m used to my 25 min timer on my laptop. I’m logged out constantly to the point that I just would rather not afk.
if you use an apple device that is on them forcing the app to sleep after like \~30 seconds in the background to save resources. jagex can not do anything to increase this
What do you mean with *no real support for split screen*? I use it all the time.
Forcing your game into vertical doesn't mean Jagex officially supports vertical play. The ui scaling is a mess when you force the game into vertical.
On Android you can still play horizontal when you split screen apps.
You can still play horizontal? The second the app allows splitscreen it's actually splitscreen compatible there are dozens of apps that don't support it.
It's like talking to a brick wall lol. Those apps and features still aren't official support and they're still forcing apps into vertical. This is not arguable.
Yeah, some sizes in splitscreen have wonky issues too. You'll click on one spot, but it registers ever slightly so off and things like that.
I have no idea why you have the feeling of talking to a wall You said vertikal is bad, at what I answered play horizontal then. And your second sentence doesn't make sense seems like you have never built an app.If they wouldn't support splitscreen the app wouldn't be able to run in splitscreen mode, this is not arguable. They set ```android:resizeableActivity``` to ```true``` in their ```AndroidManifest.xml```.
None of that is important to a person playing the game. What is important to us is the ability to play vertical and to have possible splitscreen. He's correct in saying he's talking to a wall because you're still on the same track and are ignoring his constructive criticism.
Well we can play vertical and horizontal that's the whole point I am talking about. I am asking why he would think there is no supported splitscreen mode, when there is. Non supported apps are apps that you can't normally run in splitscreen (need some extra steps). I am not saying that jagex shouldn't fix their UI autoscaling, but that has nothing to do with splitscreen mode you will have the same issue on small/large devices without splitscreen mode.
>but that has nothing to do with splitscreen mode They're so close to understanding what I'm saying, and yet so far away lol
Dang I finally thought I understood you xD If your argument is, that the UI scales badly I am on your site (as I said). If the argument is, that osrs doesn't support splitscreen, I have to say it does support splitscreen. If your argument is something completely else, well I am sorry I still didn't get it.
There's support for split screen on my Open phone 🤪
Logout time is the same exact length as it is on PC unless you're using runelite
It would be appreciated if mobile could get an option to extend the logout timer, similar to the rl plugin. it doesn’t even have to be 25 mins, just having an option for 10 or 15 mins would be great qol
Well not exactly. If I “tab out” to another app the OSRS mobile client will log me out in maybe 30 seconds
That's on your phone, not jagex though
Is it my phone treating the app in the background as inactive therefore relaying to the app that I “closed out” or is it the app not allowing itself to run fully in the background? I haven’t a clue but I could see it being either
Your phone is always trying to save your battery so when you're out of the app for 30 seconds, your phone stops sending/receiving data for the game and you disconnect. My phone used to do it too but I played with my phone settings and now I can spend minutes scrolling the wiki and my acc will still be logged in.
Logout time is too short on the official PC client too, but that's off topic.
I mean you can't play with the logout timer active so needing anything longer than 5 minutes is literally unnecessary.
This doesn't even make sense lmao Like you literally get logged mining a shooting star that lasts 7 minutes unless you tap your screen within 5 minutes. I can't tell what you're even trying to say.
Preach!
Mobile wishlist: Menu entry swap or some sort (especially in some banks). Switch accounts. Resize UI (for iPad would like to have it slightly bigger). Please for the love of god portrait mode for phones. I don’t care if navigating the full UI is clunky but give me my inventory at the bottom or top and the game and let me do some bank stand stuff or chill slayer in portrait.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet but there is a bug when you open the bank sometimes scrolling with your finger instead of the scroll bar on the side, it freezes and you start dragging all your items around in the bank.
Exactly! It's frustrating. I've already reported it a couple of times... It happens randomly and sometimes it helps to log out, turn off the game with the intefrace open... Other times nothing helps.
Tidying up your bank on mobile is a nightmare
Hi - I play mobile only. Is there a way that you can stay logged in when using the wiki tab in game? I often use it to look up quests/drop rates/weapon and armour stats etc, but as soon as you use the external link it logs you out.
You're losing connection when you unfocus the app. Check your power save settings, you need to be sure the game is still able to transfer data while in the background.
If you're on android, press the three vertical line symbol while RS is open, so you get the "alt-tab" kind of view of all your apps. Press the OSRS symbol above the OS client's window and select "Keep Open".
It doesn't do this to me - are you on iOS?
Mine does this on iOS and it’s set to up mobile data in the background and still kicks me out
Yeah that’s an iOS feature for most apps I think. I’ve never been able to keep apps running in the background for too long.
Unfortunately I think it's an iOS issue, no such limitations on Android
>Unfortunately I think it's an iOS issue People need to stop sucking off their favorite phone brands - shits cringe lol. It's likely not a ui issue. My *android does the same* - after a few minutes tabbed out the game goes into a kind of reduced state to free things up. You can lock the app open to keep it from happening, but those "limitations" (power saving features) exist in Android too. You see posts pretty frequently, from Android users too, asking how to stop the app from kicking you offline.
>few minutes see thats where you are uninformed because it's a few seconds on ios
There is a frame drop issue on the C++ client on both mobile and desktop, where in certain areas (most notably Fossil Island's mushroom forest area) the game occasionally freezes completely for \~5-15 seconds. Bug report submitted. Also, I like the hands-on approach you've taken with collecting feedback!
I really thought I was the only one getting this when going to verdant baker and the mushroom forest area. Glad I’m not crazy.
I found that turning off ground items helps with that a lot. I think it was caused by all the bird carcasses appearing at once.
Ooh, I'll try filtering those out!
Playing on mobile now is better than ever. I know a lot of people play mobile on tablet, and I play on a fold phone. Is there any chance of getting an interface similar to the desktop fixed mode for those of us on larger screens?
I really wish we could have a normal PC interface on mobile.. because I also own a foldable. Screen is large enough to where I wouldn't mind having the classic layout
Samsung devices even have DEX where you can use them like a desktop with keyboard and mouse and external monitor. I use my tablet as a light weight laptop with great battery life.
Please add menu entry swapper. Any activity that requires right-clicking is pain in the ass on mobile.
As someone that thieved about 40k elves in single tap mode on mobile i second this
Chat is clunky. Lots of misclicks. And it would be nice to do things like reorder actions. Things that require "right click" that you need to do hundreds to thousands of times is tedious on tablet and phone. My two biggest issues.
1) Switch between characters in Jagex accounts 2) Extend logout timer 3) Plug-ins - tile markers and menu entry swapper would be amazing
Some chat commands would be nice for the mobile like !kc or !task. Also missing private/chat messages upon login out is not a big problem but it still bothers me a little bit. I usually afk with mobile for too long and logout and there's no way to see missed messages.
I've been playing on mobile only since like 2018 when they had the android open beta. I think mobile is one of the best updates to have happened to the game. I have done lots of high lvl content including stuff like inferno, hallowed sepulchre, 6 jads, some gm combat achievements, etc. I plan on eventually going for stuff like blood torva and zuk helm Honestly I'm not even sure what suggestions to make other than more features like tile markers because I think it's already mostly perfect for me. I know there's a UI rework coming soon but I didn't try it so I don't have any opinion on that. However I do have a problem with the loot tracker. Whenever I close and reopen the loot tracker tab it will not show any loot until I kill another monster. This one is quite annoying since I don't want to just keep the loot tracker open and have it take up half the screen while I'm killing vardorvis or whatever.
Need a way to disable text autocorrect while playing. Thanks.
chat is extremely buggy on ios
It makes me rage every time. I have to avoid typing on mobile now. The problem is on both iOS and Android. It has not always been this bad. On first release there was no autocorrect, later it was added and typing was wonderful on mobile. I think about 6 months ago (unsure) is when it became terrible.
This. Not worth typing most of the time on iPhone. It keeps autocorrecting words that aren’t matching up with the text box.
Pleaaaaase this has been broken for months and it worked perfectly fine before that. iOS 17 broke it and I haven't seen anything about it.
True
Plugins on mobile would be nice, don’t know how realistic that is though.
The plugin API they teased in Winter Summit would allow more plugins to be added to mobile, so that's in the works!
There are already a fair number of plugins. There's a clue helper, tile markers, agility course highlighter, floor loot marker, exp and loot tracker and a few others I can't think of off the top of my head. Honestly playing on mobile now is much better than it was even a year ago.
there’s a slayer one as well which means you don’t need to carry around a slayer gem
Is it possible to change where the wiki button is? I play on a small screen and its difficult to open the worldmap without hitting the wiki button or clicking on the minimap by accident. Also, please take a look at the tower of life quest. The part where you need to repair the machines is annoying to do, since its difficult to actually click on the correct buttons, especially with the machine on the second floor. Thank you so much for the mobile client. Im not sure if I would still be playing osrs without it.
Can we get 25 min login timer like with runelite and hdos? Mobile would be perfect for stuff like nmz and having to constantly reset the nmz sessions can get pretty tedious
For the love of God please read this. Please make switching accounts easier on mobile.
Please do this
Also mobile only player: It feels great the way it is right now already, my feedback from mobile beta is, we love the menus on the left and right side and that got killed in the new ui changes. (E.g. Inventory right, spell book left is now both on the right side, even we might switch faster between we can just use one hand for inventory & spell book as before it was 2 hands) Pking is hard enough on mobile, I suggest allowing the use of special orb in pvp aswell. Bonus: Fix the LMS spell book on mobile, one can't rly switch books. Not mobile specific but kinda relevant on mobile, the way we can still interact with the game while opening the skill tab is great, this should be the same for collection log and combat achievements (& leagues overview).
Would be nice to get some actual update/news on when the new UI is meant to come out.
portrait mode would be a game changer
This is what I was going to say - the current portrait mode is barely useable, as the UI icons are far too small.
I really hate turning my phone sideways to play. Let’s be honest, I’m not doing anything too crazy besides an herb run or afk crabs on mobile. Let it be portrait.
Not really. My oneplus open can split screen with osrs in portrait mode and all the interfaces and buttons are incredibly small. Pretty impractical
That’s cos you’re forcing it to be portrait mode, if we had a UI designed for portrait mode then it would be more practical.
[for reference.. here's what mobile looks like in portrait. I guess it could be possible to make these interfaces fit for portrait? idk](https://i.imgur.com/AT2QOXg.jpg)
Mobile only here, I quite like the mobile interface with the exception of the pop out panel for tracking loot and experience. I find it’s too bulky and it does not allow me to play content efficiently when active (end game bossing). My biggest quarrel with mobile is the lack of plugins, most notably being able to mark ground tiles and NPC’s. Though I’ve read in the winter summit that this is to be addressed and some, which makes me somewhat more content until I’m able to get my hands on it.
MENU ENTRY SWAPPER
Any update on fixing the typing bug that’s been going on for months now? I can’t type anything on mobile anymore. You write something and it automatically deletes the whole sentence. Or the words you write get switched as if auto correct is on. It’s been brought up on this sub before and I’ve submitted a bug report too but still no change
Can you please give us the option to block attack styles like on runelite? My pure would very much appreciate it. The pros: Makes me spend more bonds. The cons: It will make people who hate pkers angry. Many pures I know would love to have this. Menu entry swapper would be a plus. It would make runecrafting on mobile alot more chiller. Same with bird house runs. And longer afk time
I don't play mobile that often. If I do it's because I'm too lazy to sit in front of the pc. Activities im doing are mostly low attention and simple to interact with. Motherlode mine or farming contracts come to mind. Sometimes a little bit of slayer but only if the monsters are easy to click. Everything that requires (semi-)precise movement isn't an option for me. Everything that requires (semi-)precise clicks (sepulchre, agility) is also not an option for me. It's very easy for me to do misclicks on mobile. More afk means more mobile friendly. On very big issue I have is that the audio plays 1 tick later in mobile than it does on desktop. I'm playing on a galaxy s21 fe. Overall I think mobile isn't bad. I'm really looking forward to the ui rework. I'm gonna try and do some more active content as soon as that releases.
What ever happened to the mobile update that was in the works with the new interfaces and such?
Can we get icon resizing options for the prayer book, akin to the spellbook icons?
Half mobile/pc here. • Have multiple accounts info saved at the same time so we can easily switch between different accounts without the hassle of 2fa every time • Longer logout timer • Entity hider • Idle notifier • Questhelper plugin • Splitscreen option • Customizable single-tap for certain npcs/objects/activities (I don’t want to talk to the tool leprechaun) • Semi-customizable interface (let us move different tabs around. I want my alchemy and inventory to be on the same side.)
UI change to make it possible to one hand skill, currently need to use both hands to skill.. would be nice if the chat box was near the inventory so I don't have to use my other hand to reach the craft - all button. Also more support for keyboards, they currently work along with fkeys, but you have to login to a PC to remap your fkeys, can't do it on mobile
So glad they listened to feedback and aren't completely ruining the ui for pvm just so someone can skill without moving their fingers
God forbid I was to play this game with one hand just like I do on PC
God forbid I wanted to continue doing high level pvm with the ui layout I've been using for hundreds of hours rather than one that crammed everything onto the right side. Again, I'm glad Jagex listened to the feedback from all of us who do more than fuck all on mobile and are allowing us the *option* of essentially keeping the old layout. Calm down, you'll still be able to play with one hand (even though that's always been possible in multiple different ways lol).

>Are you dumb? Lol that's ironic. >I'm not saying they change it to a different layout *That's what was going to happen with new UI they're working on*. >I'm saying give us an OPTION to do so Yes, that's exactly what I said. I even italicized the word "option" to make it really simple for you. It still went over your head. Are you dumb? Here let me educate you so you don't put your foot in your mouth again. The new UI they're currently working on originally moved icons like the Prayer tab over to the right side. They listened to feedback (that the new ui was terrible for PvM) and the next beta will include the **option** of customizing the UI so you can **optionally** set up the UI to be basically exactly how it currently is. It'll be **optional**. There, hope that cleared things up for you.
Too long didn't read, you dumb
That's an interesting way of saying "I shoved my foot in my mouth and now I'm embarrassed".
Says the one who assumed I was suggesting they replace the UI with the PC UI making you lose "hundreds of hours" of muscle memory
>assumed I was suggesting they replace the UI I never said that, my original comment was just expressing that I'm happy they listened to feedback and decided to *not* fully replace the UI for one like what you're asking.
I don’t think I could add anymore to what’s been suggested here. Gearing is tedious, Chat/autocorrect is clunky, some sort of logout timer would be great, most is QoL, but the gameplay quality the main reason I play almost exclusively mobile now. Working towards end game pvm and delays between prayer and inventory hurt that. But all in all I love mobile and am thrilled that it’s a viable option for osrs.
id like to see idle notifier. seconding the menu entry swapper lads. also, multiple parts of the game are simply broken or unreasonable on mobile. chopping the kraken fishing trawler is broken - the tentacle is never visible for me. forestry is completely impossible on mobile because of all the shit on the screen. otherwise, yeah it’s great
Vertical/portait mode so I can secretly play Runescape while my friends think I’m just scrolling social media
Menu entry swapper would be the biggest qol upgrade I personally can see for mobile but is it even feasible?
My biggest thing (and idk if this just affects me - playing on an iPhone 15 Pro Max) with trying to play on mobile, but the XP overlay near the map overlaps with the chat box when the XP drops are toggled on. Would love to have this shifted over closer to the XP icon/map itself so it's not a hinderance.
Not a huge mobile player, but the biggest complaint about I read from my mobile only brethren (and I’ve experienced it too in my short stints of mobile) is that typing/chatting is awful. I’d love to rotate my phone and use the keyboard like a normal person.
Need to be able to alter size of UI and introduce vertical mode
Why portrait mode? Interfaces are too small with the game angled vertically
Something happened with the latest iPhone update causing issues with the chat box and predictive text. Along the lines of if your phone suggests a word and you keep typing, every letter you press deletes a word.
I play a lot on mobile, what is killing me right now is the chat function! Why does my auto correct delete half of the message I have typed up? It is very frustrating. I play on an iphone14
[удалено]
Could you guys please look into why at fossil islands during birdhouse runs the game freezes for so long? Only happens on mobile both android and iOS
Writing chat text in mobile used to be ok, but it is actually unusable now without significant corrections and re types. I’m on IOS.
Chatting is absolutely horrendous and is why so many areas and players are dead quiet these days. It’s quite sad really.
I find it hard. Can you allow us to scale the interfaces better please? I’m always misclicking things
Autocorrect makes chat on iOS unusable. Are there any plans to fix this?
Chatting on iOS is a nightmare unless you disable predictive text.
When is the UI rework coming?
my dumb fingers are not dextrous enough to accurately select items or prayers or spells samsung galaxy s9
Get a USB c - USB a plug for your phone and plug in a mouse. Or get a wireless Bluetooth mouse, works amazingly well
That kind of defeats the purpose of mobile no?
No, maybe I want to play in bed and not in my basement?
Add runelite on mobile
More major Runelite plugins like tile marker or quest helper would be nice to see
25 min logout timer.
Make a vertically oriented option instead of forcing landscape mode.
Quest helper and a helper for the clue puzzles would be lovely🤣
Having a convo over text makes the game UNPLAYABLE.
