Roblox rolled out this current update in April 2026, changing the old &#8220;Trusted Connections&#8221; name into &#8220;Trusted Friends&#8221;, so if you are seeing both terms used in older guides,

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Your account needs an age check first. If you haven&#8217;t completed age estimation (Settings &gt; Account Info &gt; the identity verification section, usually a quick face scan), the Trusted Friends options won&#8217;t show up at all.<\/li>\n<li>13+ is the baseline for full access. Users under 13 can still get Trusted Friends, but only with approval from a linked parent account for each connection.<\/li>\n<li>Teens can&#8217;t trust-friend adults through the app menus. If you&#8217;re 13-17, you can&#8217;t add an 18+ user as a Trusted Friend through the normal in-app flow, that pairing only works through the real-life verification methods, meaning a live QR scan or a contacts match, since those confirm you actually know each other outside the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Availability depends on your region. Roblox is still expanding this feature country by country, so if none of the options below appear on your account, it may simply not be live where you are yet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Scan_a_QR_Code_Fastest_In_Person\"><\/span>Method 1: Scan a QR Code (Fastest, In Person)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is the one Roblox pushes hardest, and it is genuinely the quickest if you are standing next to the person.<\/p>\n<p>1. Open the Friends tab and tap My QR in the corner.<\/p>\n<p>2. Your personal code appears on screen, hand your device to your friend, or have them open their camera on it.<\/p>\n<p>3. Once they scan it, they&#8217;ll get a prompt to add you as a Trusted Friend.<\/p>\n<p>4. They accept, and the connection is live on both accounts immediately.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Import_Phone_Contacts_Mobile_Only\"><\/span>Method 2: Import Phone Contacts (Mobile Only)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Useful if you already have the person&#8217;s number saved and don&#8217;t want to deal with QR codes.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Roblox app and go to the Friends tab.<\/li>\n<li>Tap Contacts in the corner.<\/li>\n<li>Allow Roblox to access your phone contacts when prompted.<\/li>\n<li>Roblox matches your contacts against existing Roblox accounts and lists the ones it finds.<\/li>\n<li>Tap Add next to the person you want, and once they accept, both accounts become eligible for Trusted Friend status.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_Add_From_an_Existing_Friends_Profile\"><\/span>Method 3: Add From an Existing Friend&#8217;s Profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are already regular friends and both accounts meet the age requirements, you sometimes don&#8217;t need QR codes or contacts at all.<\/p>\n<p>1. Open their profile.<\/p>\n<p>2. Tap the options menu (usually the three dots).<\/p>\n<p>3. Look for Add as trusted friend.<\/p>\n<p>4. If your account groups are compatible, this appears directly. If it doesn&#8217;t show up, that&#8217;s your sign to fall back to the QR or contacts method instead, it usually means the safety restrictions between your age groups require the real-life verification step.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Tell_Who_is_a_Trusted_Friend\"><\/span>How to Tell Who is a Trusted Friend<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Trusted Friends show a small Trusted indicator next to their username, and it follows them across the platform, on their profile, inside experience chat, and in Party chat. If you want a clean list, open the Friends tab and filter by Trusted to see only that subset instead of your whole friends list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Trusted_Friends_Actually_Unlocks\"><\/span>What Trusted Friends Actually Unlocks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is the part worth enabling it for. Depending on your age group and region, Trusted Friends can get you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chat without the standard word filters between the two of you, Roblox&#8217;s Community Standards protections still apply (no sharing personal info, no bypassing moderation for actual violations), but the conversation isn&#8217;t scrubbed the way chat with a regular friend or stranger is.<\/li>\n<li>Party Voice access for <a href=\"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/how-to-turn-on-voice-chat-in-roblox\/\">talking while playing together<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Team Create in Roblox Studio, so if you&#8217;re building something, a Trusted Friend can collaborate on it with you in real time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regular friends don&#8217;t get any of this by default. That&#8217;s the actual difference &#8220;friend&#8221; just means you&#8217;re connected; &#8220;trusted&#8221; means Roblox has verified enough about the relationship to loosen the usual chat restrictions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Remove_or_Downgrade_a_Trusted_Friend\"><\/span>How to Remove or Downgrade a Trusted Friend<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You are not locked into it. From their profile menu, you get two separate options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove trusted friend downgrades them back to a regular friend. You stay connected, but the chat filters and extra features come back on.<\/li>\n<li>Remove friend removes them from your friends list entirely, trusted status included.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If either person removes the other from Trusted Friends, the connection just drops to a normal friendship rather than disappearing outright, nobody gets silently unfriended in the process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_age_do_you_need_to_be_to_add_trusted_friends_on_Roblox\"><\/span>What age do you need to be to add trusted friends on Roblox?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s no strict minimum, but full self-managed access starts once your account passes age estimation, generally treated as 13+. Under 13, each Trusted Friend connection needs approval from a linked parent account.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_teen_add_an_adult_as_a_trusted_friend_on_Roblox\"><\/span>Can a teen add an adult as a trusted friend on Roblox?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not through the standard in-app menus. Users 13-17 can only become Trusted Friends with an 18+ user through real-life verification methods, a live QR code scan or a phone contacts match, since those confirm an existing real-world connection.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_both_people_have_to_agree_to_become_trusted_friends\"><\/span>Do both people have to agree to become trusted friends?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. It is a two-way opt-in just like a regular friend request, one person initiating it is not enough, and the other account has to accept before the Trusted indicator appears for either of you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_difference_between_trusted_friends_and_trusted_connections\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the difference between trusted friends and trusted connections?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nothing functionally, Roblox renamed Trusted Connections to Trusted Friends in April 2026 when it merged the old Connections feature into the standard Friends system. Older guides and search results using &#8220;Trusted Connections&#8221; are describing the same feature.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_adding_a_trusted_friend_remove_Robloxs_chat_filters_completely\"><\/span>Does adding a trusted friend remove Roblox&#8217;s chat filters completely?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No. It loosens the standard word filtering between you two, but Roblox&#8217;s Community Standards still apply, sharing personal information, sending images, or other actual violations are still restricted and reportable regardless of trusted status.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have got a Trusted Friend set up, the filter you&#8217;ll probably want to check next is where chat and Party Voice settings live under Privacy, that is where you control who can reach you at all before trust even comes into it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To add someone as a Trusted Friend on Roblox, you first need to have completed an age check on your account, and then you connect with them through a live QR code scan, a phone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":505,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-roblox","resize-featured-image"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":504,"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499\/revisions\/504"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/socialusernamechecker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
