When I add friends, why are other accounts on same console adding friends

Hello X Cookie 73 X,

Warning Resetting your console to its factory defaults erases all accounts, saved games, settings, and home Xbox associations. Anything not synchronized with the Xbox network will be lost. Your console syncs with the Xbox network automatically when it’s connected with the service, so if you've been offline for a while, connect to the Xbox service before taking these steps.

How to reset your Xbox console to factory defaults | Xbox Support

Performing a factory reset on the console should remove the profiles signed in on your console; thus, this should prevent the issue of adding friends from reoccurring. You can test this by adding a friend while only one profile is added on the console after the reset. Proceed with adding another profile, test adding friends, and see if the issue persists. If it does, ask that you report your case to Xbox Feedback. Xbox Feedback is a platform where you can share your feedback and suggestions with the Xbox development team. By reporting your case to Xbox Feedback, you'll help us identify and fix the problem as quickly as possible.

Yes I know that you have to add the friend yourself and doesn’t automatically do it. This is not what I was referring to. The Xbox has been adding friends ( that I added to my own account ) to other profiles on the same console .

A and B are profiles

A adds a friend

That new friend has been added B ( B wasn’t signed in nor added them themselves) I know it might sound silly but I can assure you this is what is happening. Both accounts belong to me , so I know it’s not someone winding me up.

Don’t understand what is going on with it.

As for the headset issue. It works perfectly fine when I’m not signed in other accounts.

I’ve had several issues with a game -far too many , so if there is a bug on my Xbox , maybe this is what causing issues.

So will I have to set up my Xbox like a new Xbox ? Restore it to factory settings?

Helo X Cookie 73 X,

We appreciate you for sharing this with us and welcome to Xbox Forums.

I understand that you are experiencing some issues with adding friends on your Xbox console and that other accounts on the same console are also adding the same person. Additionally, you have noticed that your headset goes funny when you have two accounts signed in on the same console. Let's address them one by one.



Firstly, it is important to note that Xbox consoles are designed to allow multiple users to sign in and use the same console. However, it is possible that there may be some settings that need to be adjusted to ensure that each user's experience is personalized and separate from others.



Regarding the issue with adding friends, I actually found an information confirming that there doesn't seem to be an "Automatically add friends" option available on Xbox accounts. When someone adds you as a friend on Xbox, you will appear as a follower on their account until you add them back. This means that the process of adding friends is not automatic, but rather requires manual confirmation.

However, there was a discussion where are user mentioned an issue where their Xbox account was automatically adding friends. This doesn't appear to be a standard feature and could potentially be a bug or related to a specific account setting.



For the issue with your headset, it is possible that there may be some conflicts between the two accounts signed in on the same console. To resolve this issue, please try the following steps:



1. Sign out of both accounts on the console.

2. Unplug your headset from the controller.

3. Sign in to the account that you want to use.

4. Plug in your headset to the controller.

5. Test your headset in party chat to ensure that it is working properly.

Check for network issues: You may be experiencing network latency or network issues.

If the issue persists, please try using a different headset or controller to see if the issue is with the hardware.

yes you can add existing accounts and their prepaid month balances will add 2to1 to your family plan when added

if it is friends you really shouldn't as its not meant for friends\

fyi the master account cannot be changed once it is started and is the purchaser of the plan

all accounts have to be downloaded unto the master console to be added to the plan but can be downloaded elsewhere after
