Hello @OneShotKill4265!

Would you please provide us with further information regarding this issue.

• Are you experiencing this issue on an Xbox console or a Windows 10 computer?
  
• Are you experiencing this issue only with one specific friend or all of your friends?
  
• This occurs on all games or one specific game?
  
• Are you using a wired connection or wireless one?
  
• May I know the troubleshooting steps performed by you so far?
  

Also, would you please check and confirm that the multiplayer on your account is set to allow.

1. Open your web browser and navigate to the official Xbox website. Sign in using your credentials.
   
2. Now, In the privacy tab check that the options, "You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text" and ''Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites" are set to allow.
   

This clarification would aid in allowing us to provide the proper troubleshooting for this situation.

Could you please provide more information on this issue? What device are you on? Does this happen with all your friends?

Oh you mean you cant join up with friends in the multiplayer? I was in a party chat but thats something else. yeah thats even more rediculous if you cant even play the mp with friends. Sheesh.

I don't think that Phone users are allowed to make/join parties that why Microsoft implemented party chat where iPhone user can send they friend a party chat so that their friend can join through the message. to be able to use party chat you need to have
a chat group with all your friends in it and send a party chat.
