How to allow child to have friends Minecraft - Android. NO XBOX.

You don't need to log into his account directly. Log into the adult's account and with that account, you can change their account's privacy settings.

Hi Samy, when I try to log in to my son's microsoft account at https://www.xbox.com/, I've been getting a message that the site is temporarily unavailable for the past 24 hours. Please assist.

No, you don't need an Xbox to change these settings. You can do it in a browser with the instructions I mentioned.

An Xbox account is the same thing as a Microsoft account.

Hi SamQY, we do not have an X-box. Are you saying we need an x-box account even though we don't have an X-box? Is this the only way to allow him to have friends? He plays on an android tablet.

I'm Samy an independent advisor and I'll be helping you

How are you?

You need to create a family group with your child to change these settings.

Once you've created a family group and added your child's account, you can change your child's account privacy settings using these instructions.

An organizer in an Xbox family group can manage settings for members who are in the family group. Kids can only see (and not manage) their own settings.

Sign in to your Microsoft account.

Sign in at https://www.xbox.com/

Select your Gamertag, and then select the More actions button (…).

Select Xbox settings, and then select Privacy & online safety.

Note Because you’re accessing sensitive info, you may have to enter your password or passkey.

Select the Gamertag for the child account that you want to manage.

Select either the Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety tab or the Privacy tab.

Review the current settings and update any that you want to change, and then select Submit to save the changes.

Note You must select Submit at the bottom of the page before leaving or switching to another tab. If you don't submit the changes before you move to the other tab, your changes won't be saved.

If you need instructions for creating a family group, this link has instructions.
