Phones

Phones were added into the game on August 5th, 2019, with the main purpose of players being able to teleport or message their ROBLOX friends within Royale High. It also serves other purposes such as the flashlight or ordering pizza in the Apartment.
==Functionality==
Opening the phone from the sidebar, the player is presented a list of all their ROBLOX friends. It shows who is currently online and which realm they are located. 
If the player decides to message a friend, they can send a message and utilize some select emojis from the hotbar at the bottom. Before the New Years 2020 update, the emoji hotbar would be at the main screen, though it has been changed with the addition of 2 new buttons and the emoji hotbar being moved to where it can be seen when players go to message each other. On November 15th, 2020, all text message history before then was cleared out to clean-up some of the servers to make room for the next school’s cafeteria scripts.
When the player decides to go and teleport to their friend, there are some various results that can occur when they teleport to a friend, including a glitchIf a player below level 75 tries to teleport to a friend who was in Earth and they teleport to the Intergalactic Trading Hub through the UFO, the player under 75 can get put into the Intergalactic Trading Hub. (DO NOT ATTEMPT - this is incorrectly detected as an exploit and automatically BANS you from the game.). Most of the time players can teleport to their friend if they are in a public server, though there is an exception if the player’s friend is in a public Apartment server. Though if the player tries to teleport their friend that is in a public apartment server, they can either join or they are locked out of the apartment depending if the door is opened or not. If the player tries to teleport to a friend that is on a private server, or if both players are on the same private server, they are more than likely blocked from joining the friend.
As of the New Years 2020 update, players are given the option to order from Pizza Palace or use a flashlight. It also updates the hotbar at the bottom of the main screen with two icons. If the player presses the phone button, they are given the option to call Pizza Palace and order pizza and drinks. This option is only available in the apartments, and if the player tries to call Pizza Palace in any other realm, they are given this text: “Sorry, Pizza Palace cannot deliver here! Try at your apartment!”
==Appearance==
The phones have a heart shape design that opens and closes. It also features an antenna and a small notification mail icon on the front. Inside the phone has a keyboard, various buttons, and a screen. On the screen of the model in the player’s hand, it shows some of the developers on there and that they are all at Royale High School.
If the player has “Paintbrush Pass” gamepass, they can customize the colors of the phone instead of the default pink. In the April 10th, 2020 update, players with the gamepass can have their text messages appear as their phone colors. Otherwise the default text message color is a light teal bubble with white text.

==Removed Feature==
The player can also check what missions they can do by pressing the button with a round flip phone model with an exclamation point. Doing this shows when the player can do their next wish at the Fountain, spin the Wheel, get the daily Computer Login, or sleep to get XP. If the player doesn’t have a timer, they have the option to teleport to one of the 3 missions and complete it. Players have to go to either Beach House, Apartments, or Intergalactic Trading Hub to replenish their energy, which rewards them with XP.
Starting on August 9, 2023, the feature was removed from phones in any map that had the new Side Menu UI. It was replaced with the Diary Planner but some of the features like teleporting to the Wheel or Computer Log-In have been disabled.
==Trivia==
* The original idea for phones was talked about in September of 2018, around the time Earth came out. The idea was never mentioned until July 26th, 2019, in a tweet https://twitter.com/nightbarbie/status/1154939821229371392 Barbie posted.
* In the Fantasia Getaway Resort, there is an item called the "Shell Phone". The only purpose of it was to roleplay, and doesn’t have an option to talk with ROBLOX friends.
* When you look at the phone screen of the model, it displays some of the developer’s names on there and says they are all at Royale High School
* There is a glitch that if the player’s data is slowly loading and they open the device, it only shows that their only friend is Sukimeki and that she is in the apartments. Plus all the timers for missions would be stuck at one set time.
* There is a glitch that if the player either opens and closes the phone too many times, or uses the flashlight too many times, that it can have the phone still in hand when the device is closed.
