    Regarding: Child cannot access friends on Minecraft


    Ran around for an hour trying to figure this out.

    If you signed up one of your kids for a MS account for Minecraft and they can't add friends or connect to servers.

    Sign into your MS account and go here: https://account.live.com/mykids.aspx

    You need to enable third party apps!

    Save the setting.

    Log them out of Minecraft.

    Log them back in.

    It should work.

    :)

    How can I change my child's (MS Family) permissions to allow them to add friends in Minecraft (Win10 PC version - Not Java)?

    I have activated all these settings and my child’s profile still cannot add friends on minecraft. I can join his world but he cannot join my world. He shows 1 friend on the friends tab but it doesn’t show any joinable friends or my world inside the friends
    tab. I have even changed all settings to allow everything (defeats the purpose) and I still cannot add friends on his account. Please help!!!!!!

    Can't validate Friend requests in XBox app from child account

    Hello Pascal Paulis,

    You're welcome!

    I was wondering if that prompt will show if you have allowed your child to send a request. Have you tried selecting the request approval button? Then, checked your email regarding the request?

    We'll check this with the Internal Support Team to see if this this request can found be elsewhere.

    By the way, if your child is playing Minecraft, this support article is a guide for every parents - How to Manage Parental Consent, Family Settings and Realms/Multiplayer Access for a Child Account | Minecraft Help

    How do I access my privacy settings?

    Hey there!

    Nice to meet you! My name is Christian, an independent advisor. I'm here to help you out.

    Are you not able to access Minecraft due to restrictions on your account? That message is usually reserved for child accounts on a family group. Try following the troubleshooting steps on Minecraft's Support page regarding family settings and restrictions and how to manage it. Here is the link.

    (The link is in English)

    I hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Christian.
