Staying safe online is about more than making sure your toddler doesn’t play GTA. It’s what games you play but also who you talk to and how. Account Restrictions give parents a way to keep their kids safe on Roblox. With a simple toggle, you can lock an account’s Contact Settings so that other users can’t chat with you inside or outside the game. It also limits the player to games that are recommended for All Ages. Whether you toggled the feature on by accident and locked yourself out of content or want to switch settings for your child, here’s what you need to do to turn off Account Restrictions on Roblox (and still stay safe).
Roblox Account Restrictions Guide
Account Restrictions are easy to change, so you’ll be back to smacking people with the Wrench Glove in Slap Battles in no time. This setting is a great first line of defense, but staying safe online doesn’t end here. Roblox isn’t the scary no-man’s-land it’s sometimes framed as, but it’s still the internet. We’ll get into that after. First, here’s how to turn off Account Restrictions on Roblox:
- From the Home screen, click on More (the button with three dots)
- Go to Settings
- Go to Privacy
- Toggle Account Restrictions to Off
After disabling Account Restrictions, you can manually reset chat settings from the same page. Find settings you feel safe and comfortable with before proceeding. There are risks and privileges associated with an unrestricted account. If you’re managing your kid’s account, take an interest in what they’re playing and who they’re talking to. The content of Roblox games tends to be mild, but if you’re a parent or otherwise responsible for another gamer, nothing beats having an open and honest conversation.
