Minecraft won’t let me join friends world, causes huge lag spike for them

I'm having the same problem but it also won't let me add them back. In my minecraft world it will say they aren't my friends when they join and I try to add them back but it doesn't work.

I have the same problem! I can join other people’s worlds, but when i create a world people can’t join my world even when I invite them. I have cellular data does that have anything to do with it? When i go into settings in Minecraft it wont let me turn
on friends of friends. Please Help! It is ios.

are either of you Xbox Insiders?

Hello Gabby,

This can happen if your friend and you have even the slightest difference in versions or if you have a beta version of minecraft.

Hello Gabby,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your issue. When they invite you, are they inviting you through the game itself? You can try and look through and post on the
Minecraft forums for help with the issue also. As they are on a different platform we don't have any troubleshooting for other platforms. Only thing we can advise on our side is to
make sure your privacy settings allow communication from cross platform.

To get to these go to settings>account>Privacy and online safety>Xbox live privacy>view details and customize>communication and multiplayer>there are two to make sure set to allow or everybody and a third for invites:

1. You can play with people outside of Xbox live----Allow
2. You can communicate outside Xbox live with voice and text--Everybody
3. Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites----Everybody

Let us know how it goes.

Brad
