    Why don't I have an 'Add friend' tab on minecraft on nintendo switch


    I keep going over and over and over this. Sooo frustrating.

    1. We have a switch

    2. We have a son playing switch minecraft

    3. We register on line

    4. He wants to add a friend

    5. We DONT have an Add friend tab

    6. We've gone into the game and gone in edit.

    7. We've put in his name. We find him. We Add him. He still isn't visible. He can see my son playing the switch. But we can't see him

    I have a son in tears. He just wants to play his friend. Why is it so difficult. Technology is meant to be easy. It's hours of frustration and tears.

    :)

    Why don't I have an 'Add friend' tab on minecraft on nintendo switch

    Hello Birdhalf,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble with adding friends on Minecraft on Nintendo Switch. This issue may be caused by different factors, such as your network settings, your Microsoft account, or Xbox privacy settings.

    To troubleshoot this problem, please follow these steps:



    1. Make sure that your Nintendo Switch is connected to the internet and that you have signed into your Microsoft account on Minecraft.

    2. Check that you and your friends are playing the same edition of Minecraft. You can only add friends who are playing the Bedrock Edition, which is the one available on Nintendo Switch.

    3. Update your game to the latest version and restart your device.

    4. Go to the Friends tab on the main menu and select Add Friend. Enter your friend's gamertag or email address and send them a request.

    5. Once they accept your request, you should be able to see them online and join their worlds.

    However, if the issue still persists you may need to manage your sons Xbox privacy settings using the parent Microsoft account and make sure "Adding & Communicating with Friends " is allowed.
    For your reference, you may check this link: Manage Xbox online safety and privacy settings | Xbox Support




    I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

    Sincerely,

    How do I play Minecraft with people who are on Xbox and playstation when I am on Nintendo switch

    Hello ! I'm Aymeric, an independent advisor, and I'm here to help !

    To play Minecraft with players on Xbox and PlayStation while you're on a Nintendo Switch, make sure all players are using the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, which supports cross-platform play across these consoles.

    Older editions of Minecraft on console will not work.

    Sign in with a Microsoft account on your Nintendo Switch, and add your friends using their Xbox Gamertags,

    Make sure everyone have the mandatory online subscriptions (Nintendo Switch Online, Xbox Game Pass Core, PlayStation Plus) for online multiplayer. Otherwise, online multiplayer will not work.

    Once done, select “Play” and you'll see your friends in the “Friends” tab. You can join them in their world, or even create a Realm to play together.

    Please let me know if you have any other question !
