Why connection timed out when I try to join my friends world on IOS Ipad?

In this case I recommend you to report this problem to the game support, they are the ones who see the issues related to Minecraft PE.

Does the same thing happen to you from any network?

Hello!

I'm an independent advisor and a member of the Xbox Community just like you.

I will be glad to help you.

Login at this link

And in the part of "Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 devices Online Safety" set all features related to multiplayer, communication and friendship to "Allow".

If everything is configured correctly, check if the same thing happens when connected to another network, for example, using mobile data or another wifi network.

I also ask you to report the problem to Minecraft support at this website
