Method 1: Check if Roblox is down
The first method is to check if Roblox is down.
If the Roblox mobile app is stuck on “Launching Experience”, it means that Roblox is most likely down.
There are a couple of places that you can check if Roblox is down.
Firstly, you can visit https://status.roblox.com/.
The Roblox Status website allows you to monitor Roblox’s uptime.
You’ll see the “All systems operational” status if everything is running correctly.
However, if there is an issue, you’ll see a red status followed by a description.
Here’s an example of an issue, “Players may be experiencing issues connecting to games”.
If Roblox is down, it can take a few hours for it to be back up again.
Hence, you need to wait and try starting an experience again later.
Method 2: Uninstall and reinstall the Roblox app
The second method is to uninstall and reinstall the Roblox app.
In some cases, Roblox might not load an experience because of a caching issue.
To fix this, you can delete the Roblox app and reinstall it.
By deleting Roblox, the app’s cache will be cleared.
In addition, the app will be updated to the latest version.
In fact, reinstalling the app is recommended by the Roblox team themselves as a troubleshooting method.
Method 3: Enable certain developer options
The third method is to enable certain developer options in your Android settings.
The developer options menu allows you to adjust system behaviors to improve app performance and fix specific app issues.
Keep in mind that this method can only be used for Android devices.
- Open the “Settings” app.
- Tap on “Additional settings”.
- Tap on “Developer options”.
- Scroll down until you reach “Apps”.
- Under “Apps”, you need to enable “Always show crash dialog”, “Show background ANRs”, “Show notification channel warnings”, “Adaptive notification priority”, “Adaptive notification ranking”, and “Force allow apps on external storage”.
- Scroll down and enable “Force activities to be resizable”, “Enable freeform windows”, “Force desktop mode”, “Enable freeform sizecompat”, and “Disable permission monitoring”.
After you’ve enabled the developer options above, you need to force close the Roblox app and reopen it.
Lastly, try launching the experience again and see if the error persists.
Method 4: Log in to the desktop version of Roblox
The final method is to log in to the desktop version of Roblox on your mobile device.
After you’ve logged in, start an experience and it will automatically open the Roblox app.
