is there an update for us plebs that aren’t in the preview program? my friends are...

Hello Tabushcus,

Are you currently in the preview program?

If so I think that is a known issue because me and my friends in the preview program have exactly the same issue currently.

As you mentioned before currently the only work around is by using the store to find games.

The is an update for preview program members today so hopefully that will fix this issue.

i am a member of the Xbox One
Preview Program and am having issues with the friends tab, my offline friends list is a mirror image of my online friends list si i cannot see any of my oline friends which makes it impossible to mesage or invite my friends who "appear offline".
i contacted support directly about this issue and they are admitting no liability saying it is a preview program issue.

I noticed this issue pops up every once in a while. It usually happens with anyone in the preview program. I am not sure why but after I get an update in the preview program then usually my friends cannot see I am online even though everything states
I am online. This is not a problem for my other friends who are part of the preview program. They can see that I am online with no problem.

Im just a normal user here but i want to help

You need to be aware of this dude! Took some info from the: "Xbox one preview program FAQ"

-How do I sign up for the Xbox One Preview program?

The Preview program is by invitation only. If your friends are already in the program, they can invite you by using the Invite friends page in the Xbox Preview Dashboard app.

-How will I know if I've been selected?

You'll get a service message from us on your Xbox One. The message will include a link to download the Xbox Preview Dashboard app. You'll need to use the app to register your console for Preview updates.

-I downloaded the Xbox Preview Dashboard app and registered my console, but I haven't gotten the update. Why?

Once you've registered, it can take up to 48 hours for your console to get the current Preview update.

You must be invited into the Update Preview Program by a friend (who is in the Update Preview Program), and it take 7 days to know whether you are in or not. And you are not guaranteed to get in. As far as the EA Access and that is a little more exclusive
to get into.
