Troubleshooting steps:

1. Check your Microsoft account settings:

Go to the Microsoft website and sign in with your account.

Check your privacy and content blocking settings. It's possible that some restrictions are preventing you from accessing Realms.

Try locking and unlocking your privacy settings, as suggested by Microsoft support.

2. Confirm your Switch Online subscription:

This did not help me. It says I need to connect her device in order to allow her to play multi-player, but I'm not able to connect the switch with any of the options. Her switch isn't an Xbox and it's not a windows 10 device.

There is no “privacy & online safety” tab only “family & online safety” and when you click on that you still don’t get an option of a xbox One/windows 10 online safety tab, and I dont see how such a tab would even be useful considering this issue is on
neither an xbox one or windows 10 device, its on an ipad
