    Can’t add friends


    I can’t add friends on Xbox, every time I do it lets me add them, but when I go back to their profile, it says that I didn’t. So I keep trying to add them and it’s just an infinite loop. I also have this issue with join in GTA friend sessions but I’m pretty sure that’s unrelated.

    Can’t add friends

    Hi IT, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor ready to assist you with this

    I'm sorry to hear that you're not able to add friends in your console
    Can you tell me what procedures you tried to fix this?

    In the meantime try to perform a physical power cycle disconnecting the power cable

    "Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.
    Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

    Important Be sure to wait at least 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

    Plug the console power cable back in.
    Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on."

    Can’t add friends

    Hi! My name is Ben an Independent Advisor and a fellow member in the community. Hope you are doing well!

    Can you tell us what platform are you having issues with and what steps have you tried so far? Since it is working via Xbox app, it could be on the device specific issue only.

    For Xbox consoles, I suggest to try removing and adding your profile first but make sure to take note of the email address you are using for your gamertag. Here is how to remove and add your profile for reference https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

    After adding your profile back, try to restart your console by turning it off and unplugging as well from the power supply for 3-5 minutes. Then plug it back and turn it on and see if there are still problems.

    I hope this helps somehow. Feel free to post back if there are still issues and we will try with the best of our knowledge to offer assistance.

    Kind regards,

    Ben

    Can’t add friends in Fortnite

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    We understand that your son is having trouble adding friends in Fortnite. It sounds like there may be an issue with the parental controls on your Xbox account.

    Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    Double-check that the parental control PIN you are entering is correct.

    If you are unsure, you can reset the PIN by following the steps here: Manage a PIN for your Xbox profile | Xbox Support.



    Make sure that your son's Xbox account has permission to add friends.

    See the steps on how to manage your son's privacy settings for adding friends on this link: Manage Xbox online safety and privacy settings | Xbox Support.

    Ensure that the settings have been saved.

    You mentioned that you have updated the settings in Xbox family, but it's possible that the changes haven't taken effect yet.

    1. Try signing out of Xbox account and then signing back in to see if the changes have been applied.
    2. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.
    3. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.
      Important Be sure to wait at least 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.
    4. Plug the console power cable back in.
    5. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

    If you encounter any error or issue, please let us know by sending us a screenshot.



    Sincerely,
