Roblox introduces photo-based age verification tools

Roblox has announced the rollout of new age verification tools based on user photographs starting this week. From January 2026, all platform users will be required to verify their age to enable chat functionality. This process involves uploading a photo or video, which will be processed and then deleted.

This innovation aims to enhance the safety of minors on the Roblox platform and comply with emerging online communication standards. Users will need to adjust as age verification becomes mandatory for active service use.

The new system is expected to reduce underage access to inappropriate content and create a safer environment for communication on Roblox.
