Roblox no longer allows users under 13 to message others outside of games


Roblox is no longer allowing users under the age of 13 to message others outside of games and experiences on the platform.

Roblox also announced a series of other built-in protections for young users, such as age-gating certain experiences, along with enhanced parental controls. During a press briefing, the company explained that users under the age of 13 will still be able to access in-game chats because Roblox believes that communication is fundamental to gameplay on the platform. “We really aim to be safe by default for users of all ages, and our policies and features will continue to adapt in service of that goal,” Lamdany said.
