how to change device type on roblox settings
There isn’t a normal Roblox setting to change your account’s device type the way you might change graphics or audio. Roblox device type is usually detected automatically, and developers are the ones who may work with device detection in Studio rather than players changing it directly in their own settings.
What you can do
- On the player side , you can change things like graphics, audio, controls, and accessibility options in Roblox settings.
- On the developer side , device-related options for a game are managed in the Creator Dashboard or through Studio tools, depending on what you’re changing.
- Some unofficial guides mention a “device” or “device preferences” option in settings, but that does not appear to be a standard player setting for switching your platform type.
If your goal is a specific issue
- If Roblox is showing the wrong controls or layout, restarting the app, reconnecting your controller, or checking input settings is usually the better fix.
- If you mean changing what devices can access your published game, that is handled in the Creator Dashboard under your game’s access settings.
In plain terms
You usually can’t manually switch your device type in Roblox settings as a regular player; Roblox determines it based on the device you’re actually using.
