Roblox dating: Early access coming? What we know
As of 2025, Roblox reportedly boasts around 85.3 million daily active users (DAU) and 380 million monthly active users (MAU).
While enjoying its popularity, Roblox is mostly limited to a certain age group, but the company has been pushing to expand horizons. How does it plan to do so? By tapping into adult users.
Roblox, in its 2023 keynote, expressed a desire to cater to the 17+ market, and a specific objective was to turn the game into a dating hub for adults. So, when is the Roblox dating feature coming, and will there be an early access for it?
Roblox dating: What we know
David Baszucki, the CEO of Roblox, said in a TechStuff interview that his vision is always to make Roblox a more adult-oriented platform.
However, the 2023 address about bringing dating to Roblox raised some eyebrows, because obviously, there are many kids who log in each day to play the game. Roblox has, historically, done a good job at ensuring features which are not meant for those under 18, do not reach the group.

Documents are needed as ID proof for age, and there are features that instantly block addresses and other identifiable chat information. However, one user noted that in Roblox's fan-made Squid Game recreation, some of the voice chatters (restricted to 17+) belonged to kids, meaning they likely used their parents' IDs to bypass the game's safety protocols.
Notably, Roblox is not looking to serve as a platform to find dates, but rather to help people already in relationships. 'I think a lot of people who are too afraid to go on a real-life date might find it easier to have a virtual date to start,' the CEO explained.
Currently, Roblox community standards explicitly prohibit dating, but the new feature could be made available to those who are 21 and above. Recently, one X user also said that UGCs related to dating are now allowed on Roblox, sharing what appeared to be a post from someone identifying themself as Roblox staff.
"Statements that are self-referential or referencing real-world relationships (e.g., "Sorry ladies, I'm autistic" or "I <3 my boyfriend") are generally not considered violations under our current policies unless they include inappropriate, offensive, or targeted language. That said, we always appreciate community reports like this to help us identify edge cases or anything that may have slipped through. If you spot anything you believe violates our guidelines, feel free to report it directly in the catalog, and our team will take a closer look," the comment read.

WhatsApp takes down 6.8 million accounts linked to criminal scam centers, Meta says
AP Updated 6 Aug 2025, 07:58 PM IST NEW YORK (AP) — WhatsApp has taken down 6.8 million accounts that were 'linked to criminal scam centers' targeting people online around that world, its parent company Meta said this week. The account deletions, which Meta said took place over the first six months of the year, arrive as part of wider company efforts to crack down on scams. In a Tuesday announcement, Meta said it was also rolling new tools on WhatsApp to help people spot scams — including a new safety overview that the platform will show when someone who is not in a user's contacts adds them to a group, as well as ongoing test alerts to pause before responding. Scams are becoming all too common and increasingly sophisticated in today's digital world — with too-good-to-be-true offers and unsolicited messages attempting to steal consumers' information or money filling our phones, social media and other corners of the internet each day. Meta noted that 'some of the most prolific' sources of scams are criminal scam centers, which often span from forced labor operated by organized crime — and warned that such efforts often target people on many platforms at once, in attempts to evade detection. That means that a scam campaign may start with messages over text or a dating app, for example, and then move to social media and payment platforms, the California-based company said. Meta, which also owns Facebook and Instagram, pointed to recent scam efforts that it said attempted to use its own apps — as well as TikTok, Telegram and AI-generated messages made using ChatGPT — to offer payments for fake likes, enlist people into a pyramid scheme and/or lure others into cryptocurrency investments. Meta linked these scams to a criminal scam center in Cambodia — and said it disrupted the campaign in partnership with ChatGPT maker OpenAI.

How to make pizza in Grow a Garden? Full recipe guide
If you have stepped into Grow a Garden lately, you have probably noticed things heating up - literally. The Chris P. Bacon Cooking Event is in full swing, and pizza has become one of the most in-demand dishes in the game. But here is the thing: not all pizzas are created equal. Depending on what you toss into the pot, you could end up with a common snack or one of the rarest dishes in the entire event. That is where this guide comes in. Each pizza has a rarity tier and those tiers are determined by what ingredients you throw in.(Roblox) Also read: How to make a cake in Grow a Garden: Full recipe guide All known pizza recipes (so far) Here is what we know from DeltiasGaming and IGN. Each pizza has a rarity tier - and those tiers are determined by what ingredients you throw in: Common: 1 Strawberry, 1 Pepper, 1 Tomato, 1 Corn Legendary: 1 Corn, 1 Tomato, 1 Pepper, 1 Sugar Apple Mythical: 1 Pepper, 1 Tomato, 1 Sugar Apple, 1 Corn Divine: 1 Sugar Apple, 1 Corn, 1 Bone Blossom Prismatic: 1 Banana, 1 Beanstalk, 3 Bone Blossom Some combinations might trigger a 'craving swap,' so if the recipe doesn't match what Chris wants, it might shift mid-cook. Best to keep an eye on that. Watch the color - it is not just for show According to Eurogamer, Pizza takes around 7.5 minutes to cook, and you will need to do it in the central cooking pot on the map. The game makes this interactive - you will want to see orange water in the pot before cooking starts. That is how you know you are on track. If the color shifts, your ingredients may be off. If waiting is not your thing, you can spend Robux to skip the timer. But most players prefer to wait it out and test combinations first - especially if they are chasing rarer items like the Divine Mochi Mouse pet or Prismatic Taco Fern seed. Also read: Grow a Garden Cooking and Trading Event Update: Complete Roblox Guide to Recipes, Rewards and New Features Keep experimenting - rewards scale with risk Since Grow a Garden is built around experimentation, mixing ingredients is key. Rare plants usually unlock better food, and better food gets you higher-tier rewards from Chris. The rarer the dish, the flashier the loot - though nothing's guaranteed. Just do not toss ingredients in randomly and expect results. Some players have ended up with completely different meals by missing just one fruit or veg. Follow the recipes carefully, but do not be afraid to test new combos either. FAQs: Where do I cook pizza in Grow a Garden? Use the main cooking pot in the center of the map. What does orange pot water mean? It signals you're using the correct recipe for pizza. How long does it take to cook pizza? Roughly 7.5 minutes, unless you speed it up with Robux. Why did my recipe change while cooking? You may have triggered a craving swap based on Chris's current preferences. What is the rarest pizza in the game? Right now, the Prismatic version using Bone Blossom and Beanstalk is the top tier.

Prismatic Salad At the peak of the hierarchy is the Prismatic Salad, which is crafted using four bone blossoms and one tomato.

A: Every hour, so keep checking in-game for updated preferences.
