What is a Group in Roblox?
In Roblox, a group is a community for players to host games, form virtual militias and fraternity sororities, participate in competitions, and interact with other members on the platform. Members can access multiple services and engage in varied activities such as posting group shout messages, participating in the popular Paying Party, or exploring other fun activities like Obbie and Tycoon games.
Roblox creators working as groups can be given permissions to help manage the development of the game. The site sells Roblox toys which players can purchase and use virtualize those toys. Joining a group allows a user to attend and host parties while forming a known social community of their own within Roblox. Members can create different roles like the Council of Admins, Fans, Mods, or Active Contributors within their group to encourage participation and keep their members engaged.
Every group on Roblox can have an infinite number of members. Once someone joins a particular group and attends one of its events, Roblox remembers them and pushes notices out about other events the group is conducting at a later date. These members enjoy free access to the group shout messaging feature aimed at the entire group and can access a crowd chat feature. Some games like Paintball and Firing Range only allow members of their Roblox group to play in order to create targeted engagement off-platform.
How to Join a Group in Roblox on iPad?
There is currently no way to join a group in Roblox on iPad. To circumvent the restrictions put in place by Roblox due to the web version of Roblox group pages being incompatible with the iPad, users can join a group via the mobile app on an iPhone, by playing on a PC, or by requesting the ‘desktop version’ of a Roblox page on their iPad browser and then going to the group they wish to join.
Step 1: Open the Roblox App on your iPad
To join a group in Roblox on an iPad or any other device, you first need to open the Roblox app. To do this, tap on the Roblox app icon. If you are not already logged in, enter your Roblox account username and password to access your account.
You can quickly search for someone’s profile to add them as a friend or join a group on the Roblox website before doing so in the app. This is important because Apple has restricted the ability to search for specific content or pages within the Roblox app over safety concerns, except for specific exceptions.
For instance, on iOS users cannot search for the name of a specific group or game title. This will appear as a blank page. It is still possible to join groups without using the web search feature but you need to know the url of the group you want to join. Finding the group’s url on the Roblox website and pasting it into a browser on your iPad will allow you to select join group to add it to your account. Roblox is planning a fix for this so that iPad users (those using Safari or a browser plugin) can search and access groups without needing to use the web version in the future.
Step 2: Sign in to your Roblox Account
All ROBLOX players must have an account in order to use the platform. Unless you have boomer cooties, this is just a matter of course. To join a Roblox group on an iPad, follow the steps for creating an account on the web, Android, or iOS device as noted in the Joining a group on Roblox on the web section. After you have completed the creation process, you are finished initializing a Roblox account and can now join a Roblox group. To participate in Roblox, you need an account to access their website or play on any devices. This second step for signing in is listed to remind kids at NetSavvyMom to sign in. But since Roblox requires an account to even exist on the platform, this should be a standard requirement that is already satisfied judging by most users needs.
Step 3: Go to the Group Page
After finding a Roblox group you wish to join, you will be presented with a Join Group link on the groups page in the browser. This link is available even in mobile view. This is where you click to join as seen in the red ellipse in the image below. Users are also encouraged to Follow the group by default, but this is not the same as joining as a regular member, similar to the actions on Person pages within Roblox. Users who have joined a group see Leave Group instead of Join Group.
Step 4: Click on the ‘Join Group’ Button
After you find a group you want to join, click on the group’s logo where the title is displayed on the group’s main profile. A popup will display where you can click ‘Join Group’. If you were successful in requesting to join the group, a message will be displayed saying ‘A request to join the group has been sent‘. This means that the group owner will now have to approve your request before you are officially in the group.
Step 5: Wait for Approval from Group Admin
After you click Request to Join, you should see a yellow banner at the top of the group window which shows that Your request to join this group has been sent.. You will then have to wait for approval by an admin or group owner. It should only take a few hours or days, however, a popular group can have a backlog of requests, which may take longer.
Step 6: Accept the Group Invitation
The simplest method available to join a group in Roblox is by accepting a group invitation through the Roblox website when logged into your account
- Refresh or go to Roblox homepage. Go to Roblox.com and refresh the page. It should show your recently received group associated notification to the groups page.
- Click on the group icon as noted by the circular image on the bottom toolbar. Find the group you want to join from the groups you are a part of and click on it.
- Click group from group page. From the Roblox start page, find the desired group in the bottom Your Groups section and click it.
- Click Join Group. You will see the “Join Group” button along with a friendly welcome message. This will add the group name and emblem of the desired group to your Roblox character’s profile.
How to Find Groups to Join on Roblox?
To find groups to join on Roblox, click on the Discover icon in the bottom left of the screen. Click on Groups then either Create Your Group or click on an available group. If a group matches your preferences you will see the option to contact the owner.
Access the People page by clicking on the icon in the upper right corner featuring two figures with a Plus sign to see whether there are groups not yet listed in the Discover section that you might like. On the People page, you can search for a particular person or keyword, add friends, and see who is playing with friends. From there select the Search Group button to see what groups are associated with the keyword entered.
Typically, groups do not prominently advertise themselves beyond the initial reach to other players who might be interested. However, for roleplaying games and other games that require a player to join a particular Acronymed group to play such as the Undersiders, you can often find forum posts leading to the featured group. Search for the keywords associated with the needs or interests you have, and you might just find the perfect community for you.
