The latest announcement from Roblox confirms that there will be a mandatory age verification on the platform for all users, regardless of age. Text and voice chats on the platform will temporarily be unavailable until users complete required verification.

Roblox is introducing age verification for users in order to protect younger players and keep them safe while using in-game communication features.

In addition to confirming ages for individual accounts, Roblox also said it plans to adopt new systems that will limit communication between adults and minors unless they already know each other offline.
