    "Others can see you online" set to BLOCK but companies can still show my child's online...


    I set my profile to BLOCK for "Others can see you if you're online", in the XBOX PRIVACY AND SECURITY settings. However, when my child is playing online all of the friends in our friends list can see they are online through third party games/applications. Example: Xbox is sending Destiny (Bungie) account statuses even though I specifically set the XBOX PROFILE to BLOCK allowing others to see the account's online status. The XBOX Security and Privacy settings in the profile should dictate what other companies are allowed to see and then respectively share with other users. AGAIN this is the BLOCK Setting Xbox provides me regarding "Others can see if you're online". I am not referring to the "SHOW OFFLINE" function. I am specifically referring to the PRIVACY AND SECURITY SETTING not the "Show Offline" Status. If this Privacy and Security setting DOES not prevent XBOX from sharing account statuses with other companies, who then share with all their users, that needs to be made VERY CLEAR. I was just recently shown that you are not BLOCKING these things as your have led me to believe. I question what else you allow me to chose to protect my family that DOES NOT work. My family loves the Xbox, and I am a year one adopter. But this is one of those things that will drive me away. Major Corporation, leading people to believe they are concerned about you and your family, but clearly function completely in opposition.

    "Others can see you online" set to BLOCK but companies can still show my child's online status to users in their games.

    say you are playing destiny 2, you are actually playing on bungies servers therefore xbox privacy settings don't extend to that, people looking over xbox live would not see his status if the block setting is on, but if you are in the actual game then others in that game can see you.

    The only other thing I can think of is your content settings are stopping the child account from actually deleting the content, have you tried with the adult account?

    You can also go and see what content settings you have enabled/blocked by following the steps here:

    support.xbox.com/.../xbox-360-online-safety


    Other than that, I got nothing, good luck with it.

    How do I stop my child from sending out friend requests ?.

    If he has a child account you can block allot of options from the privacy and online settings.

    cant see party text

    You can do it in the online safety settings on the Xbox one by going to settings 》 account 》privacy and online safety or by going to this link: http://account.xbox.com/settings

    Make sure this setting is set to friends or everyone:

    Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites.

    Also do you have an adult or child account, as parental controls might be blocking it

    How to approve friendship for a child account?

    Hi! First do you have the child account set to allow friend friend requests or to block them? If it is set to allowed then the child can approve it themselves however If set to Blocked, the adult account must approve all friend requests. Here is a link
    to the online safety and privacy info: support.xbox.com/.../online-safety
