What Changed
Roblox filters text chat for everyone, but more strictly for accounts registered as under 13, and some features — voice chat among them — are only available to users who complete age verification showing they are 13 or over. In practice the account's registered age and verification status determine how filtered a child's experience is, and a child using a false age or another person's documents can end up with features meant for older users. Roblox provides parental controls, including a linked parent account, a settings PIN, and Account Restrictions that limit chat and restrict play to a curated set of experiences.
What to Review
- •Check the date of birth and verification status on your child's Roblox account, and look at which chat mode is actually active.
Parent Actions
- 1For younger children, enable Account Restrictions and protect the settings with a parent PIN.
- 2Make clear why verifying with someone else's ID is a genuinely bad idea — it strips away the protections designed for their age.
