Roblox Outage Explained

Being online is always a bit risky. There are a lot of people out there who just look to be mean, and in a kid-focused game like Roblox, there’s a fair bit of concern over privacy.

Roblox is on PC and mobile devices, meaning a ton of people play this game. By default, most profiles have some elements visible to the public, such as allowing incoming messages, or allowing players to join you in games. And for those that are concerned by the privacy implications, there are ways to block incoming spam and other annoyances.

Users have been asking for the ability to maintain their privacy and appear offline on Roblox for some time, but we can’t just yet. There are currently no ways in the games to appear totally offline. The developers are working on it, and have been for some time. The developers haven’t given a date for when that’s coming. There’s a bit of a workaround in the meantime. The games do allow some control for what features users can see. Since your profiles and inventory are publically visible, there are ways to insulate yourself a bit.
