The option is available, it's just saying "joining the beta please wait" for like 15 mins now
Sorry about that! I've passed this on to our QA - this has happened before in the closed beta but it is something to do with the google store. The only solution is to give it some time, it should work but will just need an additional waiting period. Super frustrating but I promise the wait will be worth!
Taking ages to join beta?
It may be because it's taking a while to propegate. If you're currently unable to opt into the beta via the Google Play Store, don't worry - sometimes app updates can take varying amounts of time to reach everyone's devices.
Keep checking back via the Old School RuneScape store listing to see if the opt-in option is available.
Hey Light, is there a full list of changes in the beta? The last newspost said "including but not limited to", and the FAQ doesn't list anything. Most of it should be immediately obvious, but I'd like to see what else could use testing.
Hey poi, I'm just asking the devs for confirmation on the list. 2mins! I'll edit this post when I have it.
Update - so the list that we have with the current features are as follows:
Buff Bars
XP Tracker
Minimap Zoom
Higher Resolution Rendering
Fishing Spot Indicators
HUD Improvements (NPC Information, Stat Boosts, Combat Styles, Health and Special Attack Regeneration timers)
Agility and Slayer Helpers
Chambers of Xeric Helper
Woodcutting and Ore Respawn Timers
Increased Draw Distance
Navigation Tile Indicators
Chat Improvements
Entity Highlights for NPCs (new to mobile)
There are many more features we'd like to add in but these are the ones currently available for testing!
Also, the Survey for feedback at the end will help guide us on the most important features that we should be enhancing or working on.
Ty Mod Light. Your the best.
no u!
I'm working closely with the dev team to record bugs and give feedback to the team today. I'll mostly be monitoring Discord but also checking back here.
The known issues news post will be updated periodically as bugs/issues come in, so if you do jump into any issues, let me know & make sure to check back every so often.
Why isn't entangle flagged as a members only spell in the spellbook on F2P worlds? It said it's members only when I tried to cast it.
I tried to do the Squashing the Giant Obor combat achievement and failed because the UI lied to me about entangle being a F2P spell.
It didn't cast the first time, so I tried again, and again, then realized it was saying it's members only in the chat box, but I already failed the achievement.
Entangle is technically useable inside of LMS on F2P worlds which is why it was not marked as members only. However, the team is aware that other spells have an override to show them as members-only outside LMS but available within. We'll probably be looking to fix this bug, though I'm not sure when exactly. Thank you for raising it to us!
We'll be live on Thursday 24th February on Twitch with a Livestream Q&A focused on the ToA Rewards blog! If you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for?! Go check it out!
We're planning to update the ToA Rewards blog following your feedback in the next couple of days. This stream will cover some of the community feedback & your questions in the meantime.
Got any question...

This should be available to test in the Open Android Beta on Monday!
Not sure if you guys are aware but since the update there seems to be a leagues bug on iOS and android with the active fragments not showing on the ‘HUD’ either at all or sometimes not showing all active set effects.
Thanks for raising this guys! We're aware of this issue which seems connected:
The Buff bar which displays your active Leagues fragments does not update at all unless the player turns the display off, opens the Leagues interface, turns on the display and then opens the interface once again.
Unfortunately that one above can only be coldfixed, so I imagine it's the same for the one you've just reported. I'll add your report and discuss with the team tomorrow.
When will the visual bug at phosani’s nightmare get fixed?
The visual issue with the prayer icon was hotfixed by Husky this morning, apologies for getting this to you so late!
any hints as to when it may come? ;)
late march!
Any information on when we could expect the mobile updates for Apple devices as well?
iOS is something we'd like to do after the Android Open Beta, I do not have a date yet unfortunately but hope to surface one in a newspost or gazette as soon as I know from the team
By far the most frequent suggestion from our testers was that they would like to see Ground Item Markers. We are planning to add this feature to the client, but it needs more work before we can release it. It will also need it to have price checking functionality so players can filter out low value items that they don't want to see. As soon as it's ready, it will be making its way to mobile!
I mean you guys already know that it's the most requested feature for the new client, and I think a lot of us watching closely expected ground markers to be included in the open beta, released two months after the closed beta.
Will still definitely leave feedback, but you guys already have what you're asking for. Ground markers should absolutely be a top priority.
From the Closed Beta to the Open one, we had to fix a number of the main bugs and issues that the testers found. We are aware that ground item markers are the biggest suggestion from players, but having this validated by a survey with data will just help even more. It adds a lotta clout if you know what I’m saying!
Thanks for showing us mobile players some love. I just learned corrupted gauntlet and think this is really going to improve my gameplay and future pvm thanks Jagex.
Take all our love and energy!
Where’s RC
Late March is the current estimation yall I can’t wait either
meh update, i want the rc minigame
I also am super excited for the rc minigame lol
How do i get involved if I didnt do the close beta? Will it automatically enrol me?
The information should be in both the newspost and the FAQ but I’m happy to help. You’ll know if you’re automatically opted in because when you log in after Monday 28th you’ll get a broadcast ingame for the first five times you log in telling you that you’re on the beta.
Some people will have opted in ages ago so their device might automatically install the new version on Monday, but to sign up the steps are really simple. There’s a picture in the newspost which explains how to opt in if you haven’t!
How do we join the beta program? I tried to follow the steps on the link but it didnt work
It opens up on the 28th to everyone :) this is just giving information as a heads up before Monday.
Good stuff. I just feel like you are underestimating how important ground item markers are for mobile. Personally I think that should be a top priority
Thank you! When the survey for the Android Open beta is published on the 28th, definitely leave your feedback there. Everyone loves stats and when you let us know this it will help to bolster what we're hearing even more.
Will you be able to retrieve the contents of the loot keys in any bank, or at least banks in PvP worlds? I imagine otherwise it could get quite tedious in locations such as Grand Exchange to retrieve the loot.
Currently this works just ferox, however the devs are open to feedback on this. Let us know how it feels after testing it for a bit and we can discuss as a team tomorrow?
