Is Roblox down and when will it be back?

When will Roblox be back?

If you're reading this article, chances are the Roblox app or website isn't working for you right now (same here) and you're wondering why—is this an internal issue with your PC or phone, or is Roblox experiencing a global server outage that's out of your control? More often than not, the latter is the culprit, meaning that it's up to the tech wizards at Roblox to find the disruption and fix it as soon as possible. Even with this knowledge, however, you may still be wondering what exactly happened at Roblox HQ, and while I can't say for sure, I've detailed what I know in the log below.
