TRUSTED FRIENDS

What Are Trusted Friends on Roblox?

Trusted Friends is a mutual status for people you know, not a replacement for the regular friends list.

Trusted Friends is a smaller group inside your Roblox friends list. Both people must agree to the connection, and eligibility depends on age checks, age groups, parental approval, real-life connection methods, and regional availability.

WHAT IT MEANS

Trusted Friends is an extra relationship level

A trusted friend remains a normal friend, but the relationship can unlock additional communication and privacy choices. If either person removes the trusted status, the connection returns to a regular friendship.

FIRST REQUIREMENT

Complete an age check

The Trusted Friends option does not appear until Roblox has checked the account age. Roblox currently supports facial age estimation and government ID verification. The assigned age group affects which people the account can add and which communication features become available.

UNDER 13

Parental approval is required

Users under 13 can select eligible trusted friends, but a parent must approve each request. The other person may also need approval depending on their age. Requests can expire, so both sides should complete the steps promptly.

AGES 13 TO 17

How teens can add trusted friends

Eligible teens may use mobile contact importing, a live QR scan, or an invitation link. A screenshot of a QR code or a normal profile link does not prove an in-person connection. Roblox also restricts teen-to-adult Trusted Friend connections unless a supported real-life connection method is used.

ADULT ACCOUNTS

How adult connections work

Two age-checked adults can usually upgrade through mutual approval from a profile. Adults adding teens must use approved real-life connection methods. Adding a child still requires the child account to receive parental approval.

WHAT IT UNLOCKS

Communication depends on both users

  • Party Voice for eligible users
  • Chat without filters for eligible trusted friends
  • Communication across some age groups when allowed
  • Trusted Friends privacy audiences
  • Team Create collaboration in Roblox Studio

Standard Experience Chat remains filtered. Access can differ by age and region.

MISSING OPTION

Why Trusted Friends may not appear

  • The account has not completed an age check
  • The feature has not reached the account region
  • The two age groups require a different connection method
  • A parent has not approved the request
  • The invitation link expired
