  1. 1
    Close background apps. If you're receiving Low Memory Warnings often, you may have too many apps open in the background. Before opening Roblox, make sure any other apps are closed. If you already have Roblox open, you can close other apps by doing the following:
    • To close apps on iPhone or iPad : swipe up from the bottom and pause in the middle (or double-press the Home button). Swipe up on the app(s) you want to close.
    • To close apps on an Android : swipe up from the bottom of the screen, hold your finger, and then release. Swipe up on the app(s) you want to close or tap the X icon in the top-right corner of the tab.

    Lower your graphic settings. If your graphic settings are set too high, it can take up unnecessary RAM and even make your game lag. To check and change your Roblox graphic settings, do the following:
    • In Roblox, tap the Roblox icon in the top corner.
    • Tap the Settings tab.
    • Find the Graphics Mode option and select Manual .
    • Find the Graphics Quality option and tap the minus (-) symbol to decrease the quality.

    • Tap General .
    • Tap Background App Refresh .
    • Tap Background App Refresh again.
    • Select Off .

    Uninstall and Reinstall Roblox. Another way to fix the low memory error on Roblox (if you're on an iPhone or iPad) is to uninstall the Roblox app and reinstall it. This will clear the app cache, which might clear up the error. Here's how:
    • Open your iPhone or iPad Settings .
    • Tap General .
    • Tap iPhone Storage (or iPad Storage ).
    • Scroll down and tap Roblox .
    • Tap Delete App .
    • Tap Delete to confirm.
    • Download Roblox again from the App Store.
  5. 5
    Use Roblox on a web browser. If your mobile device is giving you issues, try playing Roblox on a desktop web browser if you have a device available. Computers or laptops have a higher RAM capacity, so you'll likely be able to play your Roblox experience without any issues.
  6. 6
    Select a different experience. If you're trying to run an experience that has very intense graphics and it still crashes despite closing all apps and changing graphic settings, you may need to find a less demanding experience.
  7. 7
    Upgrade to a new device. If your current device is your only device, you'll need to upgrade to a new one. There is no way to increase your RAM on your mobile device. Beware of scams that claim to do so.
    • When looking for a new device, consider the games and apps you want to run. If you want to run complex games, you'll need a device with decent RAM and processing power. You can usually find a game's minimum and recommended system requirements on their website or app page.
