Depending on your settings, you'll usually have to enter a PIN or use Touch ID to start the download. Follow the on-screen instructions to download the app to your phone or tablet. When the app is finished downloading, its icon will appear on one of your home screens.
We are committed to ensuring that Roblox is a safe and fun place for everyone. With these tips, you can learn how to keep your child's account protected.
In general, we encourage all players to:
- Use a unique password that has a combination of numbers, letters, and special characters. Never share your password with anyone, even if it’s a friend you know in real life.
- Keep your account and personal information (including your name, email, address, phone number, or real life photos, etc.) to yourself.
- Enable 2-Step Verification to prevent strangers from accessing your Roblox account.

There are a number of account settings available to keep your child’s Roblox account private.
Users age 13 and over can customize their account privacy settings. For users age 12 and under, we take extra precautions to ensure their safety and privacy by automatically enforcing more restricted settings so they can only send a direct message to other users that are accepted as friends on Roblox.
Users and their parents can enable an Account Restrictions setting from within the Security Tab of the Account Settings page. This setting only allows users to access a curated list of age-appropriate games on the platform and it prevents them from chatting with anyone. An Account PIN setting is also available, which requires a 4-digit code to make changes to the account settings.

Roblox’s state-of-the-art filtering system is actively monitored and dynamically adjusted to create a safe chat experience everywhere on the site and in-game.
While users of all ages are on this filtering system, we go a step further for users age 12 and under by placing them on a more restricted chat system to protect their privacy and safety. When a user age 12 and under signs up on Roblox, they are automatically placed on controlled privacy settings so they can only send a direct message to other users that are accepted as friends on Roblox.
We give parents the ability to restrict or disable chat entirely throughout the site and in-game. This setting can be adjusted from within the Privacy Tab of the Account Settings page. In addition, players can also control settings that allow them to block others from chatting with them on the site and in-game.

As a parent, it’s important that you remain vigilant and understand all the applications that your children are using on their computer or phone.
Parents should have ongoing conversations with their children so they can determine whether these third-party programs are age-appropriate. It’s also a good idea to monitor your kids’ gameplay and remind them about basic online safety tips. This includes not revealing personal information online and to immediately tell you if they encounter bullies or anyone exhibiting inappropriate or unwanted behavior.
Please take note of the following official Roblox websites:
- Sites beginning with https://www.roblox.com (e.g. https://www.roblox.com/giftcards)
- Sites ending with .roblox.com/ (e.g. https://corp.roblox.com/)
Beware of third-party sites that offer things like “free” or cheap Robux, etc. These are scams created to hack your child’s Roblox account and steal their email address, personal information, and money. The only safe way to buy Robux and other items is to purchase them directly on the official Roblox website, through our official apps on iOS, Android, Amazon, and the Xbox One console, and within official Roblox games.

We offer a variety of parental controls to keep Roblox safe for kids.
Parents can:
- Disable or restrict chat everywhere on Roblox (chat with everyone, just friends, or no one) from within the Privacy tab of your child's Account Settings page.
- Identify the age of the child’s account (13+ or <13) depending on their date of birth in the upper-right corner of the navigation bar and in-game.
- Set an Account PIN, which requires a 4-digit code to make any changes to the account from within the Security tab of your child's Account Settings page.
- Enable Account Restrictions from within the Security tab of your child's Account Settings page, which allows children to only access a curated list of age-appropriate games on Roblox and completely disables chat everywhere on the platform.

- You can purchase Robux on our mobile, browser, and Xbox One apps
- Accounts with a membership receive a Robux stipend
- Accounts with a membership can sell shirts, pants and place access and get a percentage of the profit
- Any user can sell game passes for Robux. Accounts without a membership will get a smaller percentage of the profit than a membership

There is a well-respected theory named “Constructionism,” first posed by Seymour Papert of MIT Media Lab. It holds that kids learn best when they are in the active roles of designer and builder and that this learning is accelerated when they assume these roles in a public forum. We support this theory.
We’ve observed that many of our users become deeply engaged with building complex structures and solving difficult problems when they know that the fruits of their labor will be seen and played by others. Millions of kids have used our tools to imagine what it’s like to explore the farthest reaches of outer space, build a vast metropolis, or design a vehicle with realistic suspension and physics systems. The level of creativity the Roblox community exhibits, along with the time and care they spend building, never fails to astonish us.

Steps On How To Fix Roblox Keeps Crashing
Before we jump to the troubleshooting steps, let us understand why does Roblox keep crashing? There has not been a specific reason determined yet that can be devised as Roblox’s culprit keeps crashing on your system. However, it is has been narrowed down to outdated drivers, antivirus, and other unknown factors. Let us begin our journey on how to make Roblox stop crashing on your computer.
Method 1: Exit All Unwanted Applications
You may not believe, but when you hit the X symbol on the top right corner of an application to close it, the application does not shut down entirely at all times and keeps running in the background. The running of applications in the background consumes RAM other system resources even when you do not use the app. To completely shut down an app, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Make a right-click on the taskbar (anywhere without icons), and from the context menu that pops up, choose Task Manager.
Step 2: In the new window that opens, under the Processes tab, you will see all the apps that are still running. Make a right-click on the app that you want to shut down and select End Task.
Step 3: Close all the apps that you know about, one by one, and leave the unfamiliar apps. Also, do not shut down the background processes that are visible under the Apps section.
Once you have closed all the apps, this would provide relief to your system resources. Try to launch Roblox and check if the issue persists.
Method 2: Disable Your Antivirus
Most antivirus programs have initiated identifying not only sure threats but also potential malicious software, which can give rise to blocking of certain apps that are perfectly safe to use. This extra precautionary measure is also known as False Positive and can be one reason that would have blocked Roblox from executing. The only possible solution is to first disable the antivirus for a limited period, launch Roblox and check if it still crashes and then add an exception in your antivirus if all went well. To disable the antivirus, follow these steps:
Note: I have used AVG antivirus for demonstration purposes only. However, all antivirus programs’ necessary steps would be the same with a minor difference in the interface’s options location.
Step 1: Right-click on the Antivirus icon located in your taskbar.
Step 2: Click on the Turn Off option and choose a time if you get the option.
Step 3: Launch Roblox and check if it still crashes.
Note: Do not forget to re-enable the Antivirus after you check the game.
Step 4: If you can play Roblox without any issues, then simply add an exception of the Roblox executable file in the Antivirus’s exceptions option.
Method 3: Update The Graphics Drivers
The graphics drivers help realize the actual visuals of the game that were intended by the game developers. But this is only possible if the recommended graphic card and appropriate drivers are installed on your computer. If you have the recommended hardware in your system, you must also install the updated drivers. There are two major ways of installing and updating drivers on your computer, and both have been explained below.
Option 1: Use The Support Website
Every Graphic card manufacturer maintains an official website where users can find updated drivers and other resources related to the hardware. These websites are free from any malware and always contain relevant and updated resources. Although the steps for every hardware would be different, the basic idea can be understood through these steps:
Step 1: Navigate to the support website of your Graphic card manufacturer. I have provided the links of the most common graphic card manufacturers below:
Step 2: Use the search bar to enter the product name and model number and then hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
Step 3: Choose your graphics card among the results displayed and locate the driver section, among other resources displayed.
Step 4: Click on the download button and wait for the download to complete.
Step 5: Once the download completes, execute the file and follow the onscreen instructions to update the driver on your system.
Restart your computer and check if the Roblox keeps crashing issue has been resolved.
Option 2: Use Smart Driver Care
The alternative method of updating drivers is through software that can automatically scan your computer and search for updates. Smart Driver Care is one such application that identifies outdated drivers and replaces them with the latest compatible drivers available on the internet. Here are the steps to use Smart Driver Care:
Step 1: Download and Install Smart Driver Care using the link provided below:
Step 2: Once the app has been installed, launch it open and click on the Scan Now option to commence the scanning process.
Step 3: After the scan completes, a list of driver issues will be displayed. Click on the Update Driver option next to the Graphics driver on the list.
Note: The basic version of Smart Driver Care installed using the link above is free to use and can identify all the driver issues in the system. However, it can only update two drivers each day, and hence it is recommended to update the Graphics driver first to resolve the Roblox keeps crashing issue.
Once the graphics driver has been updated, restart your computer and launch Roblox to see if the issue has been resolved.
