Calls, Messages and Social sit in the bottom dock. A Messages badge shows unread messages received during this session. Use Back at the top of an app to return. From a vehicle’s GPS map, Back returns to Garage; from a conversation, it returns to Messages. Tap the white home indicator at the bottom of an app to return to your app icons. Tap it again on the home screen to hide the phone, or press P from any screen. App content scrolls when it needs more room. Each vehicle and house has its own group of controls. Help opens the app’s extra guidance; choose Hide details to close it.Garage
Garage shows the vehicles owned by your current character. Stand near Garage, its tablet or a vehicle-spawn supplies kiosk, then choose Spawn vehicle to bring out a stored vehicle. While you are away, Spawn is disabled; choose Find Garage for a waypoint. The action becomes available after the location update when you arrive. Listed vehicles and loaded cargo follow the same restrictions as the garage menu. Use Lock vehicle or Unlock vehicle while near a spawned vehicle for which you hold a key. Engine controls are on the driving HUD. Borrowed keys appear in Garage for that session. An unlocked car can be entered and driven without a shared key. Its driver may use the engine control, but locking and ownership actions still require the appropriate key or owner. Shared keys remain useful for locked cars; see vehicle access. For your own spawned vehicle, Shared keys appears when another online character is available. Open it to choose Share key or Revoke key beside a character. Help explains shared access. Repairs are available through vehicle service locations; see vehicle care and shared keys. For a spawned vehicle, choose View GPS map.

House shows your rental and properties for which your current character holds a shared key. Choose Find house for directions. Use Lock or Unlock from anywhere in the same server, or press U near the entrance. Unlocked doors start opening as you walk toward the doorway and close after everyone clears it. Closing leaves the door unlocked. For your own rental, Shared keys lists everyone with access. Choose Revoke key to remove a character, including an offline one. A phone does not change rental ownership or extend a lease. See property permissions.Maps
Open Maps to find available city services, including shops, banking, jobs, Garage, fuel and repairs. Choose a place from the list, then select Set waypoint to follow it in the world. The distance updates from your character’s actual position. North is at the top. White marks your position, blue marks the selected place and grey marks other available places. Maps shows service positions rather than street-by-street routes. Locations become available as they load; private homes and other players are not listed.Yellow Pages
Open Yellow Pages to browse player ads received in this server. Write up to 280 characters and choose Publish ad. You can have one active ad per character; Replace ad publishes a replacement, and Remove ad takes down your current one. Wait 60 seconds between publishing attempts. Ads last up to 30 minutes while their author remains available with a living character and phone. Choose Message on another character’s ad to open a private conversation. Both characters must still be available, and Roblox communication settings and filtering apply. Ads are session-only. Leaving or switching characters clears your received text and draft; earlier ad text is not replayed to new arrivals. See Messages for conversation limits.Messages
Open Messages and select an available character. The contact also shows their Roblox username so you can distinguish similar names. Enter up to 200 characters, then tap the up-arrow Send button or press Enter. Choose Property keys beside a contact to share a key for a specific rental or revoke their existing key. Keys belong to that character, even when names match. Only the primary tenant can share keys; recipients receive a notification. The selected character’s name appears at the top, with Call beside it when voice calling is available. Incoming and outgoing messages use separate bubbles, and the message field stays at the bottom while you scroll the conversation. Both players must be in the same server, have an active living character and carry a phone. Roblox communication settings and filtering apply. If direct messages are unavailable, check those settings or try again later. Messages stay in your current character’s client session, with the latest 50 messages per conversation retained. Switching characters or leaving clears that session history. Offline and cross-server delivery are unavailable.Calls
Open Calls and select an available character, or choose Call from your conversation. Both players must be in the same server with living characters, phones and compatible Roblox voice permissions. Calling requires Roblox voice to be available for both players; check your Roblox communication and microphone settings if it is unavailable. An incoming call appears even while the phone is closed. Choose Accept or Decline. An unanswered call stops ringing after 30 seconds. While connected, Mute stops your microphone reaching the other caller, Unmute restores it, and End call hangs up. Roblox’s own microphone mute still applies. The call screen shows the connected duration. Choose Messages to open your conversations during a call. Return Home or hide the phone to keep playing during a call; Open call brings the controls back. While connected, your voice is routed to the other caller instead of nearby characters. Nearby voice routing returns after hang-up. Dropping your last phone, becoming incapacitated, changing characters or leaving ends the call. Calls are one-to-one and stay in the current server. The phone has no recording, voicemail or saved call history features.Social
Open Social to share short updates, read live posts from this server, reply, like and follow characters. Profiles show character names alongside Roblox usernames. See Social for posting, threads and session limits.Drop or replace your phone
Select your phone in Inventory and choose Drop. Another player can collect it by moving it from nearby ground into their empty Body phone slot. If they already carry one, a spare uses Pocket space. Dropping your phone prevents you from using the apps until you carry another one. Rejoining does not grant a replacement. You can recover a reachable drop or buy a phone for $100 cash at Convenience. It weighs 0.2. Dropped phones follow the ordinary ground expiry rules. Your keys and message history belong to your character, so collecting someone else’s phone gives you access to your own apps.Inventory and ground drops
