What is a trusted friend in Roblox

A trusted friend in Roblox is a person you already know and trust, not just a random player you met online. Roblox describes it as a two-way connection with someone you trust, often used to allow more direct chatting or playing together under the platform’s age and safety rules.

What it means

• It is meant for close connections, like family members or real-life friends.

• It is not the same as a normal friend list add; the trust part matters because Roblox uses it to control who can interact more freely.

• Depending on age verification and parental settings, trusted friends can unlock features such as more flexible chat or play options.

Why Roblox uses it

Roblox uses trusted friends to help people stay connected with people they know while keeping safety protections in place. The system is especially aimed at users who want to interact across age groups with family or close friends, subject to verification and approval rules.

Simple example

If a parent and child both use Roblox, they may be able to connect as trusted friends after the right age checks, so they can chat or play together more easily.

Safe rule of thumb

Only add someone as a trusted friend if you know them in real life and genuinely trust them.
