Unable to join or invite friends to worlds

Hey TSx BentVader!

We can help you take a closer look here - we'd like to get some further info from you to best assist. Can you reply back with the following info?

1. What device are you playing Minecraft on when this happens?

2. Are the friends you're trying to invite playing from the same type of device, or a different platform?

3. What happens when you try to invite a player to your world? If there are any specific error messages you see, please post a screenshot of that in your reply.

4. So we don't retrace anything, can you let us know what troubleshooting steps (if any) you've already tried?

Thanks for the quick response.

i have changing his account setting, but even when i set it with an adult profile it still doesnt allow him to invite his friends when playing on the ipad. He can be invited and can join but us unable to invite friends to his world.

what am i missing?

I can only join my friends world when he invites me to his workd, but their world does not pop up when I go on the friends tab. They also have their world on friends only and he already has me added as a friend. All my other friends can join his world
except for me. The only way I can join is if they invite me. I need help with this pls

Hi there I know from experience that it is sometimes to do with an update where basically it acts like you no longer have a "licence" for the game on pocket edition. The only way it gets fixed for me is literally waiting for a new update. I am not convinced
that is the case here though.

Have either of you enrolled in the beta programme? If either of you have you will be unable to play with friends until both of the accounts unenroll from the beta.

If you did not join beta is it a server you are trying to join or a world that was created? As if it is a server you need realms in order to play together. If not then check the mp settings to make sure that its all set to allow friends to join or it could
also be that its set to invite only if it is your friend will need to invite you.

Unfortunatly if none of this is the case I am unsure of how else to fix it. I hope what little I could provide helps and I hope you and your friend are safe and well during these difficult times.

it's already like that since the first time we bought the game, which was 2 years ago. Neither of us enrolled in the beta program. I'm trying to join the world that's created by my friend when he's in the world. his world shows up in my "friends" section
but everytime i tried to join it says "unable to connect to world". His world multiplayer setting is set to Friends of friends. the notification pops up when he invite me but i still can't join. I can join him a few times by restarting our devices and trying
to join again. but it only works sometimes, and I can't join again after i left his world. but thank you for replying, we will wait until the next update and see if anything changes. I hope you're safe as well, again.. thank you so much for replying.

I personally have a world just for me, which I don't let anyone join, not even close friends. My other world on the other hand is for friends/friends of friends to join and build freely. If they grief then it's no biggie.

I would also suggest if your inviting people to your game your not sure about, save the game before you invite them and turn auto save off. Allowing you to return to a un-damaged world if required.
