Cant see my cross-platform friends on Minecraft

Recently i have been trying to play Minecraft with my friends on ps4.The first time we played went fine but the next day we were gonna play and i went to the friends tab and he doesn't show up all it says is "Your friends are not playing Minecraft right
now.". Someone plz help

same bro i am having the same problem. except mine wont load any of my friends and say i have none added when i am on my playstation trying to invite my xbox friends. i dont get why it is doing this and i cant seem to find any answers to my problem. when
i try and add someone it wont work either. ive gotten on my xbox and ps4 to see if i accidentally messed with the settings, but i have not. so im confused on what i am supposed to do

Hey, so I bought minecraft from minecraft.net about like 6 years ago. My friend wants to cross-platform with me, and whenever I go to the microsoft store, "Minecraft" isn't in my Library, even though the account is still associated with it. Do I
really have to purchase Minecraft (Microsoft edition) separately in order to be able to cross platform with my friend?

Same problem but it did work for me last week. Now can't see friends in minecraft. Tried 3 accounts. All are friends on xbox live. All permissions. Search for friends in Minecraft and it says they are a friend playing minecraft. Friends still 0. Doing this cross platform. Windows and Xbox.

i really loved to see more cross platforms games, i've been waiting for a long time to see apex and play with my friends but it is not cross platform yet :S

Minecraft Java edition is not cross-play enabled. You would need Minecraft for Windows 10 to play with friends on other platforms.
