After facing criticism over the safety of the platform, Roblox has introduced new parental controls aimed at improving parents’ ability to shape the gaming experience for their kids. Moms and dads can now adjust playtime limits, restrict private messaging, and set maturity levels for content, all remotely from their own devices. A default setting limits kids under 13 to broadcast-only messages unless modified by a parent. The updates were developed through extensive research and consultation with child safety experts, addressing prior criticism about inappropriate content on Roblox.
