The Basic Whisper Command
To send a whisper in Roblox, type /w [username] [message] in the chat box. For example, if you want to whisper “hello” to a player named “JohnDoe123”, you’d type: /w JohnDoe123 hello. The whisper will appear in gray text and only you and the recipient can see it.
Alternative Whisper Methods
You can also use these variations:
- /whisper [username] [message] – The full command version
- /tell [username] [message] – Another shorthand option
- /pm [username] [message] – Private message format
Username Requirements
You don’t need to type the complete username. Roblox accepts partial usernames as long as they’re unique enough to identify the player. If multiple players have similar names, you might need to be more specific or use the full username to avoid confusion.
What Whispers Look Like
When you send a whisper, it appears in italicized gray text with a format like: “[To JohnDoe123]: hello”. The recipient sees: “[From YourUsername]: hello”. Regular chat participants won’t see these messages at all.
Common Whisper Issues
Sometimes whispers don’t work due to:
- Chat restrictions in certain games
- Account age limitations (accounts under 13 have stricter chat rules)
- The target player having whispers disabled
- Typing errors in the username
Whisper Etiquette
Use whispers respectfully – they’re great for coordinating strategies, asking quick questions, or having private conversations without cluttering public chat. Remember that game moderators can still see whispered messages if needed. If you’re looking to practice these chat features, you might enjoy exploring various roblox games where communication plays a key role.
