Will my Roblox account be 13+ when I turn 13?

Yes, your Roblox account will automatically update to 13+ on your 13th birthday if the birth date on your account is correct, as per COPPA regulations. This means that you will have access to more features and be able to interact with other users in a more open environment, while still being subject to Roblox’s safety guidelines and privacy settings.

Understanding the Age Update Process

When you turn 13, your account’s privacy settings will change, allowing you to see and say more words and phrases, but inappropriate chat and sharing personal information will still be restricted.
