  1. Trying to allow my child to add friends on minecraft


    My child wants to add friends in minecraft but is getting an error that says he cannot because of the way his account is set up. I've tried removing all restrictions but nothing has worked.

  2. Manage my childs account

    Trying to manage childs privacy settings, have added them to my Microsoft family. Logged into Xbox.com as me (adult account) but the childs gamertag profile won't come up in order for me to be able to change it so he can add friends in Minecraft PE.

    Child added as family, cannot add friends

    I have created Microsoft accounts for both myself and my child. We are using iPads and have added the minecraft Microsoft app. When I try to add friends on her profile it won’t allow me. It says I have to change the permission. I have changed the permissions
    in both Microsoft and Xbox now, signed out and back in and it still won’t allow us to add each other.

    Trying to allow my child to add friends on minecraft

    I suggest double checking the restrictions and after that doing a hard reboot by holding the xbox power button for 10 seconds.

    Parental settings with in general settings should help with this.

    Trying to allow my child to add friends on minecraft

    Rather annoyingly, this thread (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...iends-on/99d48ff8-c222-49af-a7fb-a2501ca7315f)
    asks this question, thousands of people have the same problem, I've found the answer but the thread is closed so I cannot post the answer there! Thanks, Micro$oft!

    This page has the answer:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ge-childs-xbox-privacy-online-safety-settings

    Basically, you have to sign in to account.xbox.com with the adult account, then go to Profile > Privacy Settings, then click the game name of your child, There are then lots of options.

    Select the Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety tab

    At the bottom, change Add Friends to Allow and click Submit.

    At this point, Minecraft still will not allow you to add friends. You have to actually sign out of Microsoft and sign back in again. It's no good just closing Minecraft and opening again!

    In Minecraft, go back to the main screen, then click Profile.

    Click the Cog wheel, to go to User Profile and Settings.

    Click Sign out of your Microsoft Account.

    Click Sign Out.

    Then click Sign in for Free!

    Click Save to Microsoft Account (if you want, probably better than Leave on Device)

    It should then take you to the Microsoft sign-in screen. If it doesn't, try leaving Minecraft and starting it again.

    Sign in, then click Let's Play!

    Hopefully, you'll now be able to add friends.

    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!!!!!!

    Allowing Child Account to Add Friends

    Hi,

    Adults in the family can manage settings online and these changes will be applied to any Windows 10 device the child signs in.

    You can refer to the article Set up your family to
    know more of what you could manage.

    In the article Add members to your Microsoft family,
    there is a note that if the person that you're adding is already part of another family, they'll first need to be removed from that family.

    Hope you find the answer to your queries in these articles.
