Roblox announced on July 17, 2025, the rollout of new age-verification technology for users aged 13 and older who wish to engage in more freely filtered chats on the platform. This is part of a new 'trusted connections' feature, aiming to provide age-appropriate communication options.
Users over 13 can confirm their age using a video selfie, analyzed by identity verification company Persona, or a government-issued ID. This verification unlocks access to 'trusted connections,' allowing private, unfiltered chats with other age-screened users, while all conversations continue to be proactively monitored for critical harms.
Additionally, Roblox debuted new privacy and well-being tools, including online status controls, 'do not disturb' mode, and screen-time insights. Parents can also set up linked accounts to view their teens' connections, time spent on Roblox, and transaction insights, balancing independence with safety and addressing regulatory pressure for improved child safety.
