Issues with friends/followers Xbox One

Hi Soukie.

My name is Renato.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

As you probably know, we don't have access to your data and accounts here, so I can only offer advice based on my knowledge and experience.

As far as I know, it's not possible to remove a follower from your list, but only to prevent them from seeing your activities.

I found a discussion that I think might interest you, and it also includes several images on how to adjust your privacy settings.

Here's the link to the discussion:

Having same issue. Me and my friend both "follow" each other on Xbox One but any attempt to add each other as friends or send friend requests via our Windows Games app on our Surfaces or even via Xbox.com gets an error message. "Can't send friend request.
Please try again" error EVERY time for months now.

Maybe the system thinks we're already friends because we follow each other on Xbox One but because that system doesn't have Friends despite the confusing labelling of people you follow being called Friends it can't connect us on Windows Xbox.

I only have about 10 Friends on Windows Xbox but am following 13 people on XBOX ONE who I know are also following me back (does that make us friends?)

This is getting very annoying. Can anyone help?

Hi I've tried all the following steps and unfortunately it has made no difference

Try removing your profile from the console the re-add it to see if that helps. If not then try clearing the cache. Follow these steps to clear cache on an Xbox One:

Press and hold the power button on the front of the console until it powers down completely.

Unplug the power cable from the back of the console so that the power brick in not connected to the console.

Press the power button on the console three or four times. Let us know. Good Luck!!
