The popular platform has introduced a <strong>new policy that requires all users worldwide to verify their age before they can use chat features<\/strong>. This is a big change, and it\u2019s all about making the platform safer for everyone, especially younger players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, <strong>players need to complete an age verification process to access chat<\/strong>, including text and voice communication. This involves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a facial age estimation scan via Roblox app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a government ID (for users over 13 years)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform assures users that all images and videos used in the verification process are deleted right away to protect privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/platinumlist.ceo\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/shutterstock_2387357303.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/platinumlist.ceo\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/shutterstock_2387357303.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/platinumlist.ceo\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/shutterstock_2387357303-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/platinumlist.ceo\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/shutterstock_2387357303-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/platinumlist.ceo\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/shutterstock_2387357303-150x75.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once verified, <strong>players will be grouped into six different age categories<\/strong>. They determine who you can communicate with, so younger users can only talk to others in their age range. For kids under nine, chat is turned off by default, unless a parent gives consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in the UAE, you might be wondering: <strong>will Roblox chat come back?<\/strong> The feature <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/platinumlist.ceo\/guide\/roblox-chat-temporarily-disabled-in-uae-new-safety-measures-explained\/\">was turned off in September 2025<\/a><\/strong>, but with this new age verification system, it looks like it could return for users in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of young generation, the <strong>UAE has recently introduced<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/platinumlist.ceo\/guide\/key-takeaways-from-child-digital-safety-law-in-uae-what-every-parent-should-know\/\">Child Digital Safety Law<\/a> to protect kids in online spaces<\/strong>, so if you&#8217;re a parent, it\u2019s good to stay informed.
