Overview
- Roblox now lets players over 13 optionally verify age with a video selfie through Persona’s facial-analysis system instead of submitting a government ID.
- Users who clear the age check gain access to a new Trusted Connections chat tier that removes profanity and content filters in private party and text messaging.
- The platform has renamed “Friends” to “Connections” and established two levels—normal and Trusted Connections—to regulate social interactions.
- Verified minors aged 13–17 can form Trusted Connections with peers via age estimation, while creating those links with adults requires in-person QR scans or contact imports.
- Persona deletes biometric data after 30 days, Roblox maintains proactive monitoring for harmful content and has introduced parental dashboards with time limits and do-not-disturb mode.
