You should only be able to talk with your friends through voice chat. Sure it limits a lot of good features like making new friends but reduces scams, moderation and general annoyance/bullying from other players. 1 Like Tomarty(Tomarty) May 28, 2015, 2:59pm
To disable the Spatial Voice feature, follow the instructions below:
Voice chat is a relatively new addition to Roblox, and it allows for players to communicate with each other by using a microphone on their PC or mobile devices. The platform has done quite a bit to make sure it is safer for players to use by implementing age restrictions.
Steps to Enable Voice Chat in Roblox
While you can chat with your friends on Roblox from your computer, you also have the ability to chat in-experience on the Roblox Mobile App.
To disable the ability to chat in-experience, perform the following steps:
To chat with friends on Mobile, follow these instructions: 1 Open the Roblox App 2 In the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, select the chat icon: 3 The screen will show a history of your recent chats and friends with whom you can chat. If any of your friends are playing games and their privacy settings allow it, you can see the games. 4 Select the friend or group with whom you would like to chat and the chat window will open
How do I start a new chat group on mobile? In the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, select the chat icon. Select the icon that looks like a pencil and paper. Select up to 5 friends by scrolling through your friends list or searching their username. Click on Chat in the upper right to start the chat.
When you are added to a chat group, you may see an unread message notification indicating there are unread messages from the new chat. If you don't want to be in the chat, you can leave the chat at any time.
As nearly half of Roblox's player base consists of users over the age of 13, how to properly manage the safety of younger users has remained a concern. In a blog post, Roblox stated that the spatial voice feature will only be accessible to those who have verified that they are over the age of 13.
Once you've verified your age, voice chat can be toggled on and off within the setting menu. On PC, look for the gear icon in the upper right hand corner, then from the drop down menu click Settings. From settings, locate the Privacy tab from the menu on the left.
As of now, there's been no official statement regarding what can and can't be said over voice chat. Currently, swearing receives no form of punishment or censoring by Roblox—this will more than likely change however as the kinks continue to be worked out.
Whether you view it as unfortunate or not, not every Roblox experience will feature voice chat compatibility. The decision is completely up the individual game developers as to whether or not they want to allow it. If you're looking for a game to try out voice chat, Mic Up appears to be the current favorite.
