Check Your Amazon Appstore First
The easiest way to update Roblox on your Amazon Kids tablet is through the Amazon Appstore. Open the Appstore, tap the menu (three lines), then select “My Apps & Games.” Look for Roblox in your list and see if there’s an “Update” button next to it. If so, tap it and wait for the download to complete.
When the Appstore Won’t Update
Sometimes the Amazon Appstore version of Roblox gets stuck or won’t update properly. This happens because Amazon’s version can lag behind the official Roblox updates. If you’re seeing error messages or the update button isn’t working, try these steps:
- Force close the Appstore app completely and reopen it
- Restart your Fire tablet by holding the power button for 10 seconds
- Check your internet connection – updates need a stable WiFi connection
- Clear the Appstore cache by going to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Amazon Appstore > Storage > Clear Cache
Alternative: Sideload the Official Version
If the Appstore version continues giving you trouble, many parents choose to sideload the official Roblox app from Google Play Store. This requires enabling “Apps from Unknown Sources” in your tablet’s settings and installing the Google Play Store APK first. The official version typically gets updates faster and runs more smoothly.
Steps for Sideloading:
- Go to Settings > Security & Privacy > Apps from Unknown Sources and toggle it on
- Download and install Google Play Store APK from a trusted source
- Sign in with your Google account
- Download Roblox directly from Google Play
Managing Updates Going Forward
Once you have Roblox installed, you can set it to auto-update. In the Amazon Appstore, go to Settings and turn on “Automatic App Updates” for a hands-off approach. For the Google Play version, open Play Store settings and enable auto-updates there.
Keep in mind that some Fire tablet models handle Roblox better than others, and performance can vary depending on your tablet’s generation and available storage space.
