You can hide badges on Roblox, but only from your own profile — other players will still see them
Roblox badges are public by default. When you earn a badge in a game, it appears on your profile for anyone to see. The platform does not give you a way to make individual badges invisible to other players. What you can do is turn off your entire badge display in your privacy settings, which hides all badges from your profile at once. This is an all-or-nothing choice — there is no middle ground where you hide some badges but show others.
If you want to hide badges, you are choosing between two paths: disable badge visibility entirely through your account settings, or accept that specific badges will remain visible. Neither option lets you pick and choose which badges appear.
Key Takeaways
- Roblox does not have a feature to hide individual badges — you can only turn off all badge visibility at once through your privacy settings.
- When you disable badge visibility, your profile shows no badges to anyone, including friends and people who visit your profile.
- Other players cannot see your badges if you turn off badge visibility, but they can still see other parts of your profile like your username, creation date, and friends list.
- Badges earned before and after you change this setting are both affected — the setting applies to your entire badge collection.
How to turn off badge visibility in your account settings
Open Roblox and go to your account settings. On the left side menu, click Privacy. Look for the section labeled Who can see your badges or similar wording (the exact label varies slightly depending on when your account was created). By default, this is set to Public or Everyone.
Click the dropdown menu and change it to No One or Private. Save your changes. Once you do this, badges will no longer appear on your profile when other players visit it. The badges are still in your account — you earned them and they count toward any game achievements — but they are hidden from view.
If you change your mind later, you can return to the same setting and switch it back to Public. Your badges will reappear immediately.
What happens to badges you already earned
Hiding badges does not delete them or remove them from your account. The badges remain part of your profile data. If you turn badge visibility back on, all the badges you earned before and after the change will show again in the same order they were earned.
Games that track badges as part of their own progress system are not affected by this privacy setting. If a game shows you a badge notification when you earn it, or displays badges within that specific game, those displays continue to work. This setting only controls whether badges show on your public Roblox profile.
Why someone might want to hide badges
Players hide badges for different reasons. Some want a cleaner-looking profile without the visual clutter of many badges. Others prefer not to advertise which games they play or how much time they spend in certain games. A few players hide badges because they earned them in games they no longer want to be associated with.
Hiding badges does not affect your ability to earn new ones or your standing in any game. It is purely a cosmetic choice about what appears on your profile page.
The difference between hiding badges and hiding your profile
Hiding badges is not the same as making your entire profile private. When you hide badges, your profile is still visible — people can still see your username, when you joined Roblox, your friends list, and any games you have created or favorited. They just cannot see your badges.
If you want to hide your entire profile from other players, that is a separate privacy setting. You would go to the same Privacy section of your account settings and look for an option like Who can see your profile. Setting that to Private or Friends Only restricts access to your whole profile, not just badges.
What other players see when you hide badges
When you hide badges, other players visiting your profile will see an empty badges section or no badges section at all, depending on how Roblox displays it. They will not see a message saying "this player has hidden their badges" — the badges simply will not be there. To them, it looks the same as if you had never earned any badges.
This does not hide the fact that you play games or are active on Roblox. Your username, profile creation date, and activity status remain visible. Friends can still see you in their friends list and send you messages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hide badges from some players but not others?
No. The badge visibility setting applies to everyone. You cannot make badges visible to friends but hidden from strangers, or any other combination. It is all public or all hidden.
If I hide badges, can people still see what games I play?
Yes. Hiding badges does not hide your game activity. People can still see games you have favorited, games you have created, and sometimes recently played games depending on your other privacy settings. Badges are just one way your activity shows on your profile.
Do hidden badges still count toward game achievements?
Yes. Hiding badges from your profile does not affect how games track your progress or achievements. If a game uses badges as part of its own reward system, hiding them from your Roblox profile does not change that.
What if I want to hide my profile completely instead of just badges?
Go to Privacy settings and find the option for who can see your profile. Change it from Public to Private or Friends Only. This hides your entire profile, not just badges. You can still play games and chat with friends, but strangers cannot visit your profile page.
