Its name still turns up in a few places, listed below. Published 2026-10-31 - Updated 2026-10-31 - By VaultForYou Editorial Team - Checked against iOS 27 - Oct 31, 2026 ## Quick answer Touch and hold the Roblox icon, tap Require Face ID, then Hide and Require Face ID, and tap Hide App. It takes about 10 seconds on iOS 18 or later. Roblox moves to a locked Hidden folder in App Library and drops out of search. Roblox also has its own option inside the app: Online status visibility. Its name can still appear in Screen Time. - **Fastest way:** Hide and Require Face ID (iOS 18 or later). - **Can it be hidden?:** Yes. It moves to the locked Hidden folder in App Library. - **Own privacy setting:** Online status visibility (More -> Settings -> Privacy & content restrictions -> Visibility & private servers -> Visibility). - **Still visible in:** Screen Time, Battery and your App Store purchases. - **iOS version:** iOS 18 or later - **Time needed:** About 10 seconds - **Difficulty:** Easy - **Needs an app?:** No - **Reversible?:** Yes - **Changes backups?:** No Roblox can be hidden in about 10 seconds with the iOS Hidden folder, and Roblox has 3 privacy settings of its own. Below are 5 ways, fastest first, and the places Roblox still shows up afterwards. We checked the iOS steps against Apple's iOS 27 documentation and Roblox's settings against its official help pages in October 2026. ## Method 1: Hide Roblox with Face ID (iOS 18 and later) This is the only built-in way that hides Roblox from your Home Screen, App Library and search at once. 1. **Find Roblox on your Home Screen** Touch and hold the Roblox icon until the quick actions menu opens. 2. **Tap Require Face ID** On iPhones with Touch ID it says Require Touch ID. You can also choose Require Passcode. 3. **Tap Hide and Require Face ID** Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. 4. **Tap Hide App** Roblox leaves the Home Screen and moves to the locked Hidden folder at the bottom of App Library. Roblox keeps working, and its data is untouched. Open it from the Hidden folder at the bottom of App Library. On iOS 17 or earlier, remove it from the Home Screen instead (see below). **What this does not do:** it doesn't hide Roblox from Screen Time, and it doesn't change iCloud backups. Anyone who knows your iPhone passcode can open the Hidden folder. ## Method 2: Roblox's own privacy settings iOS hides the app icon. Roblox itself can hide what's inside it. These settings work on any iOS version that Roblox supports. ### 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. ### Hide Roblox message previews Go to **More -> Settings -> Notifications**. Turn mobile push notifications off, set a Do Not Disturb time window, or choose notification types by category. ## Other ways to hide Roblox - **Remove it from the Home Screen.** Touch and hold Roblox, tap **Remove App**, then **Remove from Home Screen**. It moves to App Library and still shows in search. - **Keep it out of Siri and search.** Go to **Settings -> Siri -> Excluded Apps**, tap **Add Apps** and select Roblox. Apple says excluded apps aren't available to Siri, Search or suggestions. - **Hide its notification previews.** Go to **Settings -> Notifications -> Roblox -> Show Previews** and choose **Never** or **When Unlocked**. - **Hide it from your App Store purchases.** In the App Store, tap your photo, tap **Apps & Purchase History**, then swipe left on Roblox and tap **Hide**. ## Does hiding Roblox hide its notifications, Siri suggestions, Spotlight and backups? | Where | Hidden with Face ID | Removed from Home Screen | |---|---|---| | Notification previews | Content hidden | Still shown | | Siri suggestions | Not shown | Still shown | | Spotlight search | App hidden from results | Still shown | | iCloud backup | Unchanged | Unchanged | Apple says information inside a locked or hidden app doesn't appear in places like notification previews, search and Siri suggestions. Hiding never changes what your iPhone backs up. ## How to unhide Roblox 1. **Open App Library.** Swipe left past your last Home Screen page. 2. **Open the Hidden folder.** Scroll to the bottom, tap Hidden and authenticate. 3. **Unhide Roblox.** Touch and hold Roblox, tap Don't Require Face ID and authenticate again. Roblox goes back to App Library. Drag it to your Home Screen from there. ## Hide Roblox on iPad The same Require Face ID menu works on iPad with iPadOS 18 or later. Hiding doesn't sync through iCloud, so hide Roblox separately on each device. ## Frequently asked questions ### 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. Roblox moves to a locked Hidden folder in App Library and disappears from search. On older iOS versions you can only remove it from the Home Screen, which leaves it in App Library. ### Where does Roblox go when you hide it? It goes to the Hidden folder at the very bottom of App Library. Swipe left past your last Home Screen page, scroll down and tap Hidden. The folder opens with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Roblox keeps working from there, with all its data. ### Does hiding Roblox delete it or its data? No. Hiding or removing Roblox from the Home Screen doesn't delete the app or anything in it. Only Delete App removes it from your iPhone. Even then, data stored in your Roblox account online is not deleted. ### Can someone tell that I hid Roblox? Possibly. The Hidden folder itself is visible at the bottom of App Library, though it needs Face ID or your passcode to open. Roblox can also still appear in Screen Time, the Battery list and your App Store purchase history. Anyone who knows your passcode can open everything. ### Does hiding Roblox on iPhone hide it on my iPad? No. Apple says hidden and locked apps don't sync through iCloud, so the setting only applies to the iPhone where you set it. If you use Roblox on an iPad, hide it there too with the same Require Face ID menu. ## Bottom line Hide and Require Face ID is the fastest way to hide Roblox: about 10 seconds, and it's gone from your Home Screen and search. Add Roblox's own settings to hide what's inside it. ## Sources - [Apple Support: Lock or hide an app on iPhone](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/lock-or-hide-an-app-iph00f208d05/ios) - [Apple Personal Safety User Guide: Lock or hide apps on your iPhone](https://support.apple.com/guide/personal-safety/ipsd0be4c185/web) - [Apple Support: Change Siri settings on iPhone](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/change-siri-settings-iphc28624b81abc/ios) - [Apple Support: Change notification settings on iPhone](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/change-notification-settings-iph7c3d96bab/ios) - [Apple Support: Lock or hide an app on iPad](https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/lock-or-hide-an-app-ipad4026f2de/ipados) - [Roblox Help: Parental Controls Overview](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/30428310121620-Parental-Controls-Overview) - [Roblox Help: Managing Screen Time](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/30428328969492-Managing-Screen-Time) - [Roblox Help: Online Status and Visibility](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/39144167691284-Online-Status-and-Visibility) - [Roblox Help: Managing Roblox Notifications](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/39211808036116-Managing-Roblox-Notifications) ## More Roblox privacy guides - [How to block Roblox on iPhone](https://www.vaultforyou.app/block-apps/roblox) - [Roblox privacy on iPhone: every setting](https://www.vaultforyou.app/apps/roblox) ## Hide apps for other apps - [How to hide Netflix on iPhone](https://www.vaultforyou.app/hide-apps/netflix) - [How to hide Spotify on iPhone](https://www.vaultforyou.app/hide-apps/spotify) - [How to hide YouTube on iPhone](https://www.vaultforyou.app/hide-apps/youtube) - [How to hide Instagram on iPhone](https://www.vaultforyou.app/hide-apps/instagram) - [How to hide Messages on iPhone](https://www.vaultforyou.app/hide-apps/messages) - [How to hide Photos on iPhone](https://www.vaultforyou.app/hide-apps/photos) - [All hide-app guides](https://www.vaultforyou.app/hide-apps) ## The full guide - [How to hide apps on iPhone, and where hidden apps still show up](https://www.vaultforyou.app/blog/hide-apps-on-iphone) --- Our guides are written and fact-checked by the VaultForYou team against Apple's own documentation.
