Are you experiencing locked or hidden text issues in Roblox chat?
Many players worldwide are facing this problem, where messages appear locked or are only visible to certain users.
This usually happens due to age-based chat restrictions or Roblox’s safety filters, which limit communication based on age groups or content sensitivity.
In this post, you will learn how to fix locked or hidden text chat in Roblox, including a complete step-by-step guide.
How to Fix Locked or Hidden Text Chat in Roblox
In Roblox, “Locked” or “Hidden” text chat means that you are seeing messages from a player whose age group does not match yours, or your own chat settings are restricting communication.
This usually happens when players are in different age groups.
For example, if you are under 13 and the other player is 13+, Roblox limits cross-age communication to protect younger users.
Below, you can see which age groups are allowed to chat with each other.
