Text Filtering Problem | The output says 'filteredText' is an instance??
So I am currently trying to filter text from a surface gui.
filteredText = TextService:FilterStringAsync(script.Parent.Screen.Info.Text, game.Players.N43FGXL.UserId)
When I print 'filteredText' it is Instance. When I try setting my text to 'filteredText' it doesn't work (obviously because its class is an instance).
Why is this? How do I get the filtered text?
In advance, thanks.

Hello, N43FGXL. The problem is that you did not use the :GetChatForUserAsync() function. It will make the filtered string instance a string. Try this:
local userId = game:GetService("Players").N43FGXL.UserId
filteredText = TextService:FilterStringAsync(script.Parent.Screen.Info.Text, userId):GetChatForUserAsync(userId)

When I do this and I enter profane words, those words are just returned to me when I do print(filteredText) N43FGXL 169 — 4y
