How do I allow my kids to add friends in mindcraft?

First make sure that you yourself have an adult Microsoft Account (i.e. your Microsoft Account should have been created with a birthdate that is of legal adult age now).

Then go to
https://account.microsoft.com/family and sign in with your adult parent account.

If not already done so, add the Microsoft Accounts of your children to the family.

After you added your children's own Microsoft Accounts to your Family, go to
https://account.xbox.com/settings and sign in with your parent account again.

Here you should now see your and your children's accounts.

Click on one of the children accounts and make the necessary changes in the Online and Privacy, Xbox One and Windows 10 and Xbox 360 categories.

Make sure you save the settings before you change the category.

After you set the online and privacy settings as well as the multiplayer settings to your liking, your kids would have to restart the Minecraft App to have the changes applied.

Since your Kids are playing Minecraft, they connect to the Xbox services, even if they don't own Xbox hardware.

Make sure you go to
https://account.xbox.com/settings to make the necessary changes. If your kids are added to the Family, you should see their accounts above the table with the online and privacy settings.

Hi there, I believe that checking out this thread https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...craft-pe/8eecf5e2-5a20-4a3e-8dc2-f7a53b1e9e9d would
possibly answer your problem. Hope this helps!

I have a Microsoft parent account. Both kids are listed under it. We don't own an XBOX. Am I supposed to have an account with them too? My kids play on their Android phones. I don't see anything under the Microsoft profiles I can charge to change privacy.

I'm having the same problem. My kids set up xbox accounts on their iPads and want to play minecraft together. I've spent ages trying to allow them to connect as friends and go into the family settings under my account and click allow friends and click save,
but every time I log back in, it has not saved and still has the ability to add friends blocked. I would really appreciate advice how to give my kids permission to be friends. thanks
