Create Your Parent Roblox Account

If you don't have one, go to roblox.com and create an account with your email address. Enter your real birthdate โ€” Roblox uses this to confirm you're the parent, not the child.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Keep your parent account credentials somewhere your child can't access them.

Open Roblox on Your Child's Android

On your child's Android phone or tablet, open the Roblox app and log into their account. Tap the three horizontal lines (โ˜ฐ) or the gear icon at the bottom right, then tap Settings.

Link Your Parent Account

In Settings, tap Parental Controls, then tap "Link Parent Account." Roblox will send a verification email to your parent account email address. Open that email and confirm the link.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Do this step while on the same WiFi network as your child's device for best results.

Verify Your Identity

Roblox requires a one-time identity verification for full parental control access. You can use a credit/debit card ($0 authorization โ€” nothing is charged) or a government ID. This proves you are a parent or guardian.

Set Content Maturity Level

From your own phone, open Roblox > Settings > Parental Controls > tap your child's linked account. Set content maturity: Minimal for ages 5-8 (very restricted game library), Mild for ages 9-12, or Moderate for ages 13-15 (the default for age-verified accounts).

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Roblox's new 2026 Kids Account (ages 5-8) automatically sets Minimal content โ€” all chat is off by default.

Set Chat & Communication Rules

Under Communication settings, choose who can contact your child: Everyone, Friends Only, or Off. For children under 13, set to Friends Only or Off. You can also block all friend requests from non-friends.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Roblox defaults under-13 accounts to no direct messaging since the 2024 safety update.

Set Screen Time & Spending Limits

In Parental Controls > Screen Time, set a daily play limit. In Spending Controls, set a monthly Robux spending cap and turn on purchase notifications. Recommended: $0 monthly limit unless you want to manually approve purchases.

Set Up Google Family Link (Recommended)

Install the Google Family Link app on YOUR phone from the Play Store. On your child's Android, install the Family Link companion app. Follow setup to link accounts. Once linked, you can: set screen time limits by app, approve or block app downloads, see your child's location, and get weekly activity reports.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Google Family Link works alongside Roblox's own controls โ€” use both for the best coverage.
