    How can my child add friends on Minecraft


    I've tried everything I can find on both his Minecraft and Microsoft account settings. I've clicked the box under privacy that says "allow friends." He has logged off the account, rebooted his device, logged back on, and still when he clicks "add friend"
    a message pops up that says "You cannot add friends because of how your Microsoft Account is set up. This can be changed in your privacy & online safety settings on aka.ms/accountsettings." He gets the same message if he switches his world to Multiplayer.
    I have his age set at 12. What am I missing?!?!?

    :)

    How do I change my child's Xbox one privacy settings?

    How do I change it? Where do I have to go in order to change it so I can allow my child to add friends?

    How can I change my child's (MS Family) permissions to allow them to add friends in Minecraft (Win10 PC version - Not Java)?

    I have activated all these settings and my child’s profile still cannot add friends on minecraft. I can join his world but he cannot join my world. He shows 1 friend on the friends tab but it doesn’t show any joinable friends or my world inside the friends
    tab. I have even changed all settings to allow everything (defeats the purpose) and I still cannot add friends on his account. Please help!!!!!!

    Adding friends on Minecraft PE

    Hi there MaryMom1,

    Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear about the issue with adding friends on Minecraft PE.

    The Minecraft sign in may use the Microsoft account credentials for the account. Sounds like this account may be in a family. Please take a look at the troubleshooting article:

    Change your child’s Xbox privacy and online safety settings    .

    Friends can join friends realms locally
    (this works if the friend is in the same area):

    • click settings
    • local server multiplayer
      • set setting : on

    How to add a friend on Minecraft PE:

    • On the home page
    • click sign in [bottom left]
    • sign in with Microsoft account
    • click on play
    • click menu
    • select friend
    • invite to game
    • send invite
