Minecraft child account on iPad - cannot add friends

Hi,

I too have the very same problem. I’ve been through the steps above, i’ve opened it up fully, i’ve torn my hair out and put a hole in the wall from banging my head against it.

But more upsetting is i have a small boy desperate to talk to his friends, who’s very upset because we can’t help.

This should be a simple control....It should be easy to find and sort out.......Heeeeelp!!

Thanks,

Gib.

I can confirm this, logout and login enables the changes. So my son is happy now, me, too.

I had the same issues, going round in circles. Follow the advise on this thread, then go into settings on minecraft and log out of the microsoft account, restart minecraft and log in with the child's account again. It worked for me.

privacy and online settings
you should make the necessary settings.

Hi Brad, I just went thru these steps om my child's account and it did not work. Do I need to reboot the ipad after I make the changes?

Thank you

George
