The mobile controls turn the mouse and keyboard of the computer game into taps and gestures. A tap is a left click, holding your finger down is a right click, dragging turns the camera and pinching zooms. The game always plays in landscape, so hold your phone sideways.
Touch gestures
| Gesture | What it does | Same as on a computer |
|---|---|---|
| Tap | Walks, attacks, talks, picks up, uses an item or presses a button. A tap that just misses a small button or a close button counts for the nearest one. | Left click |
| Hold (about half a second) | Opens the options menu for whatever is under your finger. | Right click |
| Hold, then slide | With the menu open, keep your finger down and slide it over the menu. The option under your finger lights up; lift your finger to choose it. Slide well outside the menu to close it. | Right click and choose |
| Hold, then lift | The menu stays open after you lift your finger. Tap an option to choose it, or tap somewhere else to close it. | Right click |
| Hold an item, then drag | Hold an item until its menu opens, then drag your finger off the menu. The menu closes and you are now moving the item; let go over the slot you want. Use this to sort your inventory or bank. | Drag an item |
| Drag one finger over the game | Turns the camera. | Middle mouse button or arrow keys |
| Drag one finger over a list | Scrolls the list, for example the bank, a shop or the teleport list. Dragging over a list never moves the camera. | Mouse wheel or scroll bar |
| Pinch with two fingers | Spread your fingers to zoom in, pinch them together to zoom out. | Mouse wheel |
On-screen buttons
| Button | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Logout | Top left | Opens the logout panel. |
| Chat | Top left, under Logout | Shows or hides the chat box. It turns red when a private message or a trade, duel or gambling request arrives while the chat is closed: it blinks for 3 seconds and then stays red until you open the chat. |
| Keyboard | Top left, under Chat (only while the chat is open) | Opens your phone's keyboard so you can type in the chat. |
| Side stones | Right side | Each stone opens one side tab. See Side stones below. |
| Minimap and world map button | Top right | Tap the minimap to walk there. Tap the round world map button to hide the minimap and see more of the game; tap it again to bring the minimap back. Hold it for Use World Map and the donator teleports. |
| Hotkey bar | Bottom left | Five buttons for your favourite actions. See Mobile/Hotkey bar. |
Side stones
The side tabs sit in two columns of square stones on the right, like OSRS Mobile. Tap a stone to open its tab; tap it again to close it.
- First column: Inventory, Worn Equipment, Prayer, Magic, Combat Options and the Quest tab, with a button at the bottom that folds the second column away.
- Second column: Skills, Emotes, Kits, Clan Chat, Friends List, the Player tab and Settings.
- When you open a bank, shop, trade or other window that works with your inventory, the inventory opens beside it automatically. The middle stone of the column next to it hides and shows that panel. When the window closes, the stones go back to how you had them.
- Logging out is done with the Logout button in the top left, not a stone.
Typing
- Tap the Keyboard button (the chat must be open) to type a chat message or a command such as
::home. - When the game asks you to type something, for example an amount after Withdraw-X or an item search, the keyboard opens by itself. If you close it, tap the box to bring it back.
- Typing needs landscape. If your phone is upright, the game asks you to rotate it: Rotate your device to landscape to type. If needed, turn off rotation lock.
Teleporting
Picking a teleport in the teleport window opens a small pop-up instead of a chat box question. It shows the teleport's name and whether it is safe or in the Wilderness (with the Wilderness level), and asks Teleport to ...? Tap Teleport to go or No to stay.
Tips
- Prayer tooltips start switched off on mobile, because a finger on a prayer is a tap, not a hover. You can switch them back on with Prayer Tooltips in the Quest tab settings.
- If you keep opening menus by accident, tap a little quicker. A tap that moves less than a few pixels and lifts before half a second is always a normal tap.
- Gambling games such as Blackjack, Mines and Dice can be played from the hotkey bar as well as with their own buttons.
