Roblox Enhances Parental Controls for Under-13 Users

The gaming platform introduces new safety features to better protect young users and provide parents with more control.

Roblox has rolled out new parental controls, allowing parents to manage their child's account remotely via their own devices.
The platform now restricts direct messaging for users under 13, limiting them to public broadcast messages within games.
Content is categorized by maturity levels instead of age, with new labels: Minimal, Mild, Moderate, and Restricted.
Parents can set screen time limits, monitor spending, and view their child's friend list through an updated dashboard.
The changes come after external pressure and criticism of Roblox's safety measures, with further updates expected by early 2025.
