How to Shift Lock on Roblox

By Blox Handbook•

To shift lock on Roblox, open the in-game menu, go to Settings, turn Shift Lock Switch on, and then press the Shift key during play. Shift lock locks the camera behind your character, so your character always faces where the camera points.

How to turn on shift lock on PC

How to use shift lock on mobile

On phones and tablets, turn on the same Shift Lock Switch in the in-game settings. A lock button then appears on screen; tap it to switch shift lock on and off. Not every game shows the button.

Why is shift lock not working?

Shift lock fails for 3 common reasons:

  • The game disabled it. Developers can turn off the option, often in games with their own camera system.
  • The switch is off in the in-game settings.
  • Another key is bound to Shift in that game, such as sprinting.

Why do players use shift lock?

Shift lock makes precise movement easier: jumping in obbies, aiming in combat games and turning on the spot all become more predictable.
