## Roblox's own privacy settings

### Online status visibility

Go to **More -> Settings -> Privacy & content restrictions -> Visibility & private servers -> Visibility**. Under Online Status, choose who can see when you're online. Everyone else sees you as offline.

### Hide the game you're playing

Go to **More -> Settings -> Privacy & content restrictions -> Visibility & private servers -> Visibility**. Under Show current experience, choose who can see what you're playing and join you. You can also turn off Share activity updates.

### Notification previews

Go to **More -> Settings -> Notifications**. Turn mobile push notifications off, set a Do Not Disturb time window, or choose notification types by category.

### Screen time limit

Go to **More -> Settings -> Parental Controls -> choose child -> Screen time -> Manage**. A linked parent account sets a daily limit. When the child hits it, they can't use Roblox for the rest of the day. Teens 13 and older set their own limit under Privacy & content restrictions -> Screen time.

### Content restrictions

Go to **More -> Settings -> Parental Controls -> choose child -> Content restrictions**. Set the content maturity level (Minimal, Mild, Moderate, or Restricted) and block or allow specific games.

### Parent mode

Without a linked parent account, a parent can approve a child's requests on the child's device and change most settings, creating a 6-digit PIN to approve later requests faster.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you lock Roblox on iPhone?

Yes. Touch and hold Roblox, tap Require Face ID and confirm. It then needs Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode to open. Roblox has no separate lock of its own.

### Can you hide Roblox on iPhone?

Yes. On iOS 18 or later, touch and hold Roblox, tap Require Face ID, then Hide and Require Face ID. It moves to the locked Hidden folder at the bottom of App Library and leaves search results.

### Does Roblox have its own passcode?

No. Roblox relies on iOS for locking. Use Require Face ID, which accepts Face ID, Touch ID or your iPhone passcode. For a separate code, Screen Time with its own passcode is an option.

### Do Roblox settings sync to my iPad?

The iOS lock and hidden status don't sync with iCloud; set them on each device. Roblox has an iPad app, so repeat the steps there.
