Roblox does not officially run on Android 7 anymore; the current Roblox help page says the app requires Android 8.0 or higher, plus OpenGL ES 3.0 support.

What this means

  • If your phone is on Android 7, the Roblox app may not install, may refuse to open, or may break after updates.
  • Some older third-party videos still mention older Android versions, but Roblox’s official requirement is higher now.
  • The safest path is to update the phone to Android 8+ if the device supports it.

What you can try

  1. Check your Android version in Settings > About phone > Software information.
  1. Update the phone if an official system update is available.
  1. If the device cannot be updated past Android 7, Roblox is unlikely to be supported on it.
  1. Avoid random APKs or “modified” installers, since they can be unsafe and still may not work.

Quick note

If your goal is just to play on a low-end phone, Roblox also recommends having a recent Android version and enough free storage for the app and updates.

TL;DR: Roblox on Android 7 is no longer officially supported, so the reliable solution is upgrading to Android 8 or using a newer device.
