Roblox Expands Age Estimation to Keep Everyone Safer in 2025
Hey Gamer!
👋 Did you know Roblox is stepping up its game to keep kids and players of all ages safer online?
In September 2025, Roblox announced an exciting plan to expand age estimation technology to everyone who uses communication features on the platform. This is big news for parents, players,
and the whole Roblox community!
🛡️ Why Is Age Estimation Important?
Until now, when people signed up for Roblox, they just typed their age. But sometimes, people don’t tell the truth, and that can be risky, especially for younger players.
Now, Roblox is adding new technology to figure out a user’s real age in smarter ways, such as:
✔️ Facial age estimation
✔️ ID age verification
✔️ Verified parental consent
This helps Roblox make sure that players get content and features suitable for their age.
🌟 What’s Coming Next?
Roblox will use this info to:
✔️ Limit communication between adults and minors unless they know each other in real life
✔️ Make sure younger players see content meant for them
✔️ Keep the Roblox world fun and safe for everyone
Jim Meenan, Senior Director of Product, says this will help set a safety standard not only for Roblox but for other online platforms too.
🧱 Roblox’s Strong Safety Foundation
Roblox isn’t new to safety. In fact, since January 2025, they introduced over 100 safety upgrades like:
- Trusted Connections – Helps players communicate safely
- Roblox Sentinel – AI tool that detects early signs of harmful activity
- Improved voice and text filters
- Systems that detect bad servers and block rule-breaking content
Plus, they upgraded their avatar detection system to find and fix rule-breaking avatars automatically. And guess what?
Roblox now blocks private image sharing and stops users under 13 from using private chat by default.
🧑🤝🧑 Parental Controls Are Here
Roblox understands that every family is different, so they give parents tools to:
✔️ Set limits on what their child can do
✔️ View reports of their child’s activity
✔️ Talk about online safety together
Roblox doesn’t claim their system is perfect, but they’re working hard to improve every day.
🌍 A Platform for All Ages
Roblox’s goal is simple:
👉 Let players of all ages explore, create, and share in safe, age-appropriate ways.
So next time you log in, you can feel confident knowing Roblox is doing its best to keep the fun safe!
