Roblox profile pictures added to the sandbox game’s mobile app
Roblox profile pictures are now rolling out on mobile, meaning players no longer need to use their standard avatar expressions as their profile images. Robloxians now have the option to customise the images of their avatars, allowing them to ‘pose’ based on emotes in the sandbox game platform.
The option lets players choose from emote options to help stylise their avatar pictures. They can also purchase additional poses if they desire. Robloxians then have the option to scroll in for a close-range portrait or scroll back for a half-body shot of their avatars.
If players update their avatars after taking and saving their profile pictures, the picture doesn’t change until the player updates and saves a new image.
Because users can now change the size and shape of the profile picture of their avatars, players can expect much more diversity in looks when they scroll across their Friends list in the future.
