I often do something AFK while on mobile, that's because i mostly play on mobile to get some gains while i'm doing something else...

So I start mining in mining guild or whatever, and i want to put my phone down or in my pocket, and often if I am not careful i touch my screen slightly and my character starts moving somewhere random.

So my suggestion to mitigate this problem which i honestly believe I am not the only one experiencing is to...

Add a setting "Enable Touchscreen Lock"

This Touchscreen Lock setting when enabled will give you a button below the chatbox or within the chatbox (at the left side of the chatbox you also have a few buttons for social and chat settings, you could add it there)

What this button does, is disable any touchscreen inputs into the game window, so you could possibly still switch from skills tab to inventory tab etc, simple things that don't ruin your AFK, like walking, clicking an object or NPC.

Pc screen on rs can be same one as mobile. Same tab and everything else.. But only the settings won't work as pc settings. And there's lots of crashing been a month didn't played properly because game crash once i log to any world so i lost hope and i deleted the game. I went back to playstore it says access program is full means beta downloads are full i've waited so long for runescape 3 mobile pls fix this or make us a link so we can download it and play. I still need to renew my membership but omg can't even login!!!!

- Screenlock option ( so u can lock ur phone and just have the 5 min logout timer instead of 30 Seconds or something )

- Bigger inventory, when i open the inventory it has a scroll bar which should be ok when needed, but theres like more then enough space on my phone screen to have the full 28 spaces of the inventory there.

But in general i think the mobile app is pretty good so far and its still in beta.

You are already lightly able to do this, sometimes it won't work though.

There are a few things to keep in mind when doing this...

- Battery Saver must be OFF
- Unrestricted Data access for RuneScape must be ON

Search google on how to enable unrestricted data for an app.

When both of these variables are set right, you are able for example mine a rock, lock your screen, come back in 2 minutes, unlock phone and click the rock again.
Sometimes this can be buggy though, and when unlocking it needs to fetch a lot of data to sync with your device, which could make you lose connection.

But in practice I am able to do this quite often, and having to click the play now button in the lobby ain't a really big deal when doing simple AFK things.

Overall, I do agree with this feedback, you must be able to either lock your screen for a few minutes, and stay logged in. Or enable a Touchscreen lock, so my character doesn't make any unwanted movements when moving my phone around.

Screen lock would be the first choice, as this will also lower battery consumption.

Touchscreen lock would still be very useful to have as a secondary feature.

There is a lot I want to address, but don't have space to do so in one post, so I'll simply update this response as things are acknowledged when necessary. The last one could be my device and not the game, but I thought it'd be worth looking in to. As I've been using the app and comparing it to OSRS Mobile.

-I'd like to see the chat fixed to be a little more convenient to use, tapping in the field to prepare a message rather than tapping the expand window. I feel that could instead be used to open a banner or a menu to change the main chat you'd be chatting in like chat tabs in the desktop version.

-Trying to look at experience left and goals I set for skills is a bit tedious and adds more steps than necessary. I have to hold down the skill I want to see the current xp for and xp left, which doesn't automatically update, so I have to hold it down again to reopen it. I feel that this could utilize something akin to OSRS Mobile's functions in the sense of tap will drop the flag that shows the xp information, holding can open the guide, set goals and such.


-I'd probably add the ability to customize the menu buttons available for ease of use and quality of life. Due to its constant use, the backpack would be the only one locked, and by going to Home>Settings you can make an interface tab to tap and drag buttons to designated locations of the players choosing (I.* the bottom in a long bar, or shorter bars on the left and right similar to OSRS.) as there are a large number of menus the player will be diving into and using regularly.


-Just for the ease of use, I'd probably try to increase the size of some of the icons in say the levels menu, so the levels are more legible and the skills are easier to tap and access. I have granny eyes and I always seem to tap the wrong things.


-As for the Graphics I run an LG K30 and noticed a lot of the textures in the foliage doesn't seem to show. Instead I see white mesh where I should see leaves.

Agreed

I have been playing RS3 on mobile since it's first batch of release and have been very happy with the way it has been updated and upgraded.

My only wish now would be to see mouse integration to assist with things like pray switching ... cause no matter how hard i try it's hard to do cause of fat finger syndrome lol. Would also make life easier doing other things with a mouse instead of a tap as i could place my tablet down and not have to worry about holding it so close all of the time.

I have a keyboard to use for chat which is great, but the mouse option would be nice too.

Hi Jmods, Pmods, and forum mods,

Right now I'm going for 120 Slayer. I know in the client on pc has a slayer KC window. May we also have that available on mobile? I currently have to bring a ring of slayer, or such item, when using a slayer monster mask.

This would really help out a lot with saving that 1 inventory slot.

Cheers!

So I've given this app multiple goes and I have a few suggestions as someone who transferred over from osrs.

Firstly the tutorial is God awful and at times I got stuck with virtually no explanation as to what in the world I was supposed to be doing and had to resort to google and lots of research to find out what it was I was supposed to be doing

A very clear guide on how the interface works and settings (ex. Combat xp and how to switch it ect)

A further guide in proper use of the skill bars

A dead zone around the game edge so that everytime I need to check my battery or time my character doesn't fly off running God knows where 😂

Lastly text size needs to have a option that allows us to edit its size

Aside from this I'm in love and so happy to be a part of the beta test
