How To Turn Roblox Into English

[Flaviano Goldammer]

ScreenTime in general has proven to be very unreliable on my children's devices. The Roblox App seems to be the biggest offender as it routinely allows a bypass of Screen Time limits. All Apps are up to date, the iOS is up to date, and our devices are updated on schedule with new releases. This was the case at the time of original posting, and it still is. I have logged in and out of iCloud accounts and restarted devices multiple times, and on multiple days. I have also changed screen time limits and tried using multiple rules to get the same outcome (for example, a rule with a Roblox 1 hour limit as well as a rule for All Games limited to 1 hour). Regardless of the steps taken, my general observation is that nothing works beyond about 1 day. Because other rules seem to be dismissed as well, I'm starting to think the issue is at least partly with Screen Time. (YouTube.com and the YouTube App have a limit but they sometimes bypass the rules too). By far, however, Roblox is the most consistent offender as Screen Time seems to have almost zero control over this App.

This is a continuous problem. It is still happening. My constructive feedback is that I have been to the help desk multiple times and no one has a fix for this problem. I have tried innovating and found absolutely no way to stop Roblox. It clearly has an hour glass, shows a 1-minute limit, but functions regularly after 1-minute on every pickup.

I have reread the terms and conditions. This post does not violate any of the listed terms. However, the last term is quite Orwellian, and it allows any post remove for any reason. Is it 2022 or 1984 here?

Carrier_0710, unfortunately I have received no useful advice or help in resolving this issue. I've read other forums and this Roblox issue seems to be a problem for others as well. Quite honestly I'm pretty disappointed with Apple. They clearly "track" screen time and App usage without any issue, but they aren't able to "block" the same Apps when they hit limits. In my experience Apple's screen time is successfully blocking its own organic Apps when limits are reached. Why Roblox seems to be exempt is a mystery to me. I'm still looking for an answer, but will update if I find it.

I have found a *roundabout* way of blocking Roblox whenever needed. Change allowed Apps age to 9+ (in Content Restrictions in Content & Privacy Restrictions) and Roblox disappears completely. It is a hassle having to do it, but when screen time limit kicks in and all apps (apart from bloody Roblox!) get blocked, might as well take the extra three steps and change app limit to 9+. And - voila! - Roblox can't be used.

I had the same issue for controlling the kids time on Roblox and it was fixed through going to the Roblox settings and enabled the Parent Control. After that setup the screen time has considering/managing it too.

Completely agree with your frustration & have the exact same issue. Internet provider modem/router is too watered down to let their end-users restrict sites easily (thanks Xfinity). I also think parents need to hold Roblox accountable since they are the makers of the app... I'm sure they are aware of this issue which makes me wonder if it is intentional.

I have a Eero Router and it has a subscription service for a firewall that can block websites and put devices on time limits. You might want to look into a firewall program for your network that you could customize the limits that way.

So very strange but make sure you turn on screen time using the device you want to control. When using my iPhone to turn it on Roblox is still available. When I do it from my Son's iPad it is blocked. It's almost as if the config stored in my iCloud is corrupted somehow, but when enabled locally on the iPad it works. Will see if it sticks......
