Minecraft iOS unable to connect to world (still broken)

Sleepyjigen · Feb 28, 2022

I found all the old threads that say to activate the local networks thing on each device. my issue is that it IS activated on both devices, yet it still will not work. I am not sure how to fix it or where to go from there because every single thread i’ve looked at has only offered advice that doesn’t help.

I have tried ipad to ipad world connection and also ipad to nintendo switch connection, but it does not allow me to join any iOS worlds or have any iOS join me. Even when we’re both using our ipads, we cannot join each other.

On my nintendo switch, i can still play with my siblings on their xbox One perfectly fine, but i just cannot play with my partner off of his ipad while i’m on switch or my own ipad. I am not sure what caused this because literally a month ago, we could play fine. Now suddenly it is not working at all. Any advice??

Good morning, I understand this is definitely frustrating, especially when everything seemed to work just fine not too long ago.

When it comes to your account at least, are you experiencing any trouble logging in to your Microsoft account to play at a very basic level? If so, let me know in your response.

Otherwise, the problem appears to be with the Minecraft app itself. For this, your best action is to report this problem to Mojang directly, and bring the matter to their support's attention. Here is a link to submitting a ticket on Minecraft's support page, and I recommend searching through their support site for any information that might provide some insight into what may be happening here.

Stay safe.

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this ARCHANA

I can assist you with some things, but if the issue persists you may need to reach Mojang support.

But first, please answer the following questions :
Are you trying to join to your friend's server. Right?
In order to isolate a bit more the issue, can you try joining to a different server to see if the issue persists?

Are you using the latest iOS and Minecraft update in your device?
If you try using a different wifi network, the issue persists?
You, and your friend has all the privacy settings allowed?
Please double check this with them here:
https://account.xbox.com/Settings

In case the problem is happening only with your friend. Can you try removing them from your friends list. Wait 10 minutes and then add them again?
(Ask them to do the same for you)

And, tell me what else did you tried so far
This is to avoid giving you the same troubleshooting steps

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

Kindly try to use a different network to test it out.

If that still didn't wok kindly try to uninstall and reinstall the game.
