Parents gain more oversight in latest Roblox update
With Roblox tightening its safety measures, children under 13 will need parental approval to unblock restricted friends and experiences.
Roblox is expanding its parental controls, offering more ways for parents to manage their children’s interactions and gaming experiences.
The update builds on safety measures introduced last year following concerns about child protection on the platform.
Parents who link their accounts with their child’s can now block or report specific people from the child’s friends list.
Children under 13 cannot unblock restricted users without parental approval. The update also allows parents to block access to specific games rather than just setting general content maturity limits.
A new feature provides parents with insights into their child’s gaming habits by showing the 20 experiences they have spent the most time on in the past week. Roblox continues to refine its safety tools to create a more secure environment for young players.
