How To Appear Offline in Roblox in 6 Easy Steps – PC/Mobile

If you’re looking to try something new or just want some alone time on Roblox, you’ll want to appear offline in the game. But is this even possible? Find out about this, and more, by reading on below!

Can I Appear Offline in Roblox?

In short, yes, you can appear offline in Roblox. And not just only on a specific platform, but across all platforms; Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Xbox and on the newly supported PlayStation. We’ll be discussing how you can do this on each platform in detail.

Why Would I Need To Appear Offline in Roblox?

Here are some common reasons for why you might want to appear offline in Roblox:

1. You’re trying out a new game mode and don’t want your friends to know

If you’re trying out a new game mode that you think is great, but your friends don’t think so, that’s fine. By appearing offline, you won’t have to put up with any taunts you’ll be facing if they find that you’re playing that game mode.

2. You want to play alone

Hey, gaming can be done both with and without friends. While it is more enjoyable with friends, sometimes everyone needs some alone time. By appearing offline, you won’t have to put up with the constant invites sent by your friends, which can be quite irritating.

3. Better focus

If you’re playing a game mode that requires concentration, it’s best to set your status as offline. This way, no one will try to invite or message you, as they’ll think that you aren’t online.

How To Activate The Offline Status on Roblox

To appear offline on Roblox, you must activate the Offline status. Here’s how you can do this across different platforms:

↪ On Windows/macOS/Xbox/PlayStation

Appearing offline requires you to access your Roblox account settings on the Internet and modify the options present there. These changes are then reflected on your Roblox account across all platforms.

At any rate, follow the instructions below to activate the Offline status on your Windows/macOS device or your Xbox/PlayStation console:

1. First off, head on over to the Roblox login page on your internet browser. Enter your Roblox account credentials and click on/select Log In.
   

   

2. Once you’ve logged in, click on/select the gear icon on the top-right corner of the page to open up the Settings drop-down.
   

   

3. From the drop-down, click on/select Settings.
   

   

4. On the Settings page, click on Privacy.
   

   

5. Next, click on/select the Communication drop-down.
   

   

6. From the options displayed in the drop-down menu, click on/select Off. Your changes will be saved automatically. By doing this, you’ll appear offline and no one will be able to message you or chat with you in-game.
   
   The offline status will remove itself after 12 hours automatically, so you won’t necessarily need to turn it on again manually.

   

↪ On Android/iOS

If you’re on Android/iOS, here’s how you can change your status to Offline:

1. Open up the Roblox app. Enter your Roblox account credentials and tap on Log In.
   

   

2. On the home page, press on the encircled three dots icon on the bottom right corner.
   

   

3. A list of options will appear. Scroll down and tap on Settings.
   

   

4. Next, select the Privacy option.
   

   

5. Then, tap on the Communication drop-down.
   

   

6. From the list of options that appear, choose Off. The changes will be saved automatically. You will now appear offline and will not be able to chat with your friends along with neither of the player s in your game.
   

   

Alternatives to Appearing Offline on Roblox

The Offline status only remains active for 12 hours and switches back to Default automatically after that. If you’re looking to take a long break to find something new on Roblox, you’ll need something more efficient.

1. Using the “Custom” Communication setting

To counter the Offline status’ 12-hour limit, the Custom status can be used. By activating the Custom status and toggling all the other settings to Non one can ensure that nobody can contact you in Roblox, until you turn this off manually.

2. Appearing “Invisible” on Discord

Discord is the most popular chatting app for gamers. Besides chatting, Discord allows people to connect to a voice channel where they can converse freely. In Roblox, this comes in very handy. Appearing offline on Discord can help mask your activities, although your friends will be able to see that you’re online.

3. Turning on offline mode on Xbox/PlayStation through profile status

Another way to mask your activities on Roblox is to turn on the offline mode through the console’s own account status. Setting your Microsoft account or your PlayStation to offline to mask your activities can help hide your gameplay from friends, although any friends in-game will still see you.

Conclusion

Although appearing offline is more for the sake of not being judged by friends, it is impossible to claim that Roblox is a single-player game. Teamwork is essential in any multiplayer game, and the same applies to Roblox. However, if you still want to appear offline, we recommend hiding your online status on Discord and PlayStation/Xbox account. At any rate, Roblox is much more fun with friends.
