I want to make a game with things like xbox support and mobile, but I want to make some GUIs appear only if I were on something like an xbox.

I made a simple script that detects if a player is on a mobile device using userInputService.TouchEnabled:

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
 
if userInputService.TouchEnabled then
	--user using a mobile device
	Instance.new("Message", workspace) -- I think they removed it not sure
	Message.text = "A Mobile Player Has Joined!"
else
	--they are on a different device
end

you would actually have to check the properties of UserInputService.. such as UserInputService.KeyboardEnabled to check if a player has a keyboard(is on computer), and TouchEnabled to check if they are on a mobile device/touch screen device..
