Roblox not available on S10 FE?

[MaseDX]

I've just bought a Tab S10 FE for my daughter to replace her five year old iPad, and apparently Roblox isn't available for it. Googling it gives mixed answers, it didn't even cross my mind that it wouldn't be available as it was running absolutely fine on the iPad, which again is five years old. I have a Tab S10 Ultra which I guess she could use in the worst case but come on Samsung, surely this isn't right?

You were right to not question it, it should work. Samsung won't be the one who hid it. Decent chance roblox themselves or google did that for some reason.

A quick solution would be to download the roblox apk and install it manually. To explain. Apk files are apps but in file form. You can use an app apk file to sorta force install an app onto a device. You'll just have to manually update it with newer apk files. Not really a good solution but it'd work.

I did a little of my own research and since you're talking about a kid's tablet, you might have setup family link in google. Someone on reddit said they fixed it by adjusting their family/parental settings as it was hiding the app

Heya, thanks for the heads up and quick response. I'm familiar with APKs so might go down that route, but I'll check my family link settings first as it is indeed managed through there. Seems to be the only app so far that isn't working...frustrating but hopefully fixable with your suggestions 😊 Looks like I can possibly go to Roblox.com and login through the browser, but let's be honest, the app would be better. Thanks again for the help, I'll check Reddit for the family settings.

Nailed it, it was the parental controls. I get it, but the message could be have been clearer rather than just saying "this app isn't available for your device" 🤣 It makes it sound like the device is at fault rather than it simply being down to a setting. Anyway, thanks again, all sorted. 🔥

Not needed in this case but I would suggest caution with APK's and no only use reputable sites such as APK  Mirror and APK Pure.

Do you have xbox maybe its on the Xbox app worth a try

[MaseDX]

Yeah, she plays it on Xbox already, this is more for on the go and she seems to prefer it on the tablet anyway. All sorted now though, thanks!
