Roblox parental controls

Step 1 – If you already have a Roblox account, great! If not, you can register here. In the Roblox app (Android, iOS), tap More > Settings > Account Info.

Step 2 – Under Email Address, add your parent email. This is the same email you’ll need to enter to connect your child’s account to yours. Check your email to verify your account.

Step 3 – Under Birthday, tap Verify My Age. Choose either the credit card route or the photo ID route.

Follow the instructions on screen to complete the process, which should only take a minute or two.

You can learn how age checks protect your privacy with this guide.

Step 1 – On your child’s account, tap on More > Settings > Account Info. Tap Add parental recovery email.

Enter the email you use for your own Roblox account. Check your email to confirm.

Step 2 – Return to the Settings menu on your child’s Roblox account. Tap Parental Controls > Add Parent. Enter your email.

Step 3 – Check your email to confirm the link. If you still don’t have an account, select Create account. Otherwise, select Use existing account and login. Then, tap Agree.

Step 1 – When logged into your parent account in the Roblox app, tap More > Settings > Parental Controls. Next to Screen time, tap Manage.

Step 2 – Tap Screen time limit. Under Daily limit, tap the dropdown box and choose a limit.

There are a range of options from 15 minutes to over 3 hours. Choose the maximum amount of time you want to allow each day. We recommend limiting it to 1 hour at most to encourage balance with other activities both online and offline.

Step 1 – Under More > Settings > Parental controls, scroll down and tap Content restrictions.

Step 2 – Tap Content maturity. Set your child’s Content maturity level, choosing between Minimal, Mild and Moderate. You cannot choose Restricted for under-13s because certain content is already restricted for this age group.

• Minimal: Choose this if you’re okay with your child seeing occasional mild violence, light unrealistic blood or elements which could cause mild fear.
• Mild: Choose this if you’re okay with your child seeing more repeated mild violence, heavy unrealistic blood or repeated elements which could cause mild fear.
• Moderate: Choose this if you’re okay with your child seeing content which is more violent, blood which is more realistic, crude humour, content which suggests gambling (unplayable) or content which could cause more fear.

Minimal is the best option for younger children or those who might struggle to process content which is violent, bloody or scary even if it’s not realistic.

Step 1 – From the Content restrictions screen, tap Blocked experiences. Next to Blocked experiences, tap the + symbol.

Step 2 – Search for the full experience title or a keyword within the title. When you see the correct experience, tap Block beneath the image. Tap Block again to confirm.

Step 1 – From your parent account, go to the Parental controls menu > Communication. Tap Experience chat.

Step 2 – Under Experience chat, choose who your child can publicly text chat with. Choose from Everyone or No one.

Under Direct chat, choose who can send your child a direct message in Roblox experiences. Choose from Everyone or No one. Note that if you chose ‘No one’ for Experience chat, Direct chat will automatically be No one as well.

From the Communication menu, tap Party.

Under Party, select who your child can form a Party (up to 2 members) with. Parties are groups which can join experiences together. For children under 13, this is limited to Friends or No one.

Under Group Party, choose who can add your child to a Group Party (up to 6 members). Again, you can choose between Friends or No one.

Only select Friends if you are across who is in your child’s Friends list.

Step 1 – Navigate to the Parental Controls menu. Scroll down and tap Spending restrictions. Tap Monthly spending limit.

Step 2 – Enter the amount you’re happy with your child spending on a monthly basis. Tap Update.

If you do not have a credit card set up on their account, they will not be able to spend anything. This limit also does not apply to gift cards.

Note that while the number you enter will save, it might take a few moments to show as updated.

Step 3 – Go back and tap Spending notifications. Choose when you’d like to get notifications about your child spending on Roblox.

• All transactions: Receive notifications whenever your child buys anything on Roblox to keep track of their spending.
• High spend alerts: On by default, this will only notify you if your child spends £100, £250 or £500 in a given month. The likelihood of this happening is greatly reduced by setting a monthly limit.
• None: You will not receive any notifications about your child’s in-game spends but might still receive notifications from your credit card company or payment processor.

We recommend tracking all transactions, particularly if you don’t have spending limits in place.

Step 1 – In the Roblox Parental controls menu, tap Visibility & private servers > Visibility.

Choose who can see your child’s Online status (Friends or No one).

Then, under Show current experience, select who can see which experience/game your child is currently in on Roblox (Friends or No one).

Unless you personally know the users in their Friends list (such as friends from school), you might want to keep this set to No one.

Step 2 – Go back and tap Private servers. Choose from Friends and No one to say who can join your child’s private servers and which private servers they can join.

Step 3 – Go back to the main Parental controls menu and tap Trading & inventory. Here, you can manage who your child can trade with (Premium only) and who can see their inventory.

We recommend limiting this to Friends or No one.

If a stranger can see your child’s inventory and notices there’s an item they want, they might try to manipulate your child to give it to them. That could include convincing your child to give them access to their account.

Step 4 – From your child’s Roblox account, tap More > Settings > Security. Set up 2-Step Verification. You can choose from:

• Authenticator App: Google, Microsoft and similar companies have authenticator apps which you can download to your or your child’s device. Your child will need to enter a code from the authenticator app each time they login.
• Email: Your child will need to access their email to find and enter a temporary code for when they login.
• Hardware Security Keys: An external item which works like an authenticator app but must be connected to the device your child is trying to login to. This choice is a little more difficult unless you already have a hardware security key.

Tap the toggle next to your choice and follow the instructions to set it up. This will help keep your child’s a little more secure, especially if someone else gets access to their password.
