    I change my xbox privacy settings to "Others can see your xbox profile details", to everyone, and every time after I restart it reverts back to friends only. I have looked into other posts on privacy settings and I have left my family group. Even though I left my family group, I still sometimes get prompted to the "Why cant I change my privacy setting" forum. It is different every time.

    I want to know how to fix my Xbox privacy settings so I can play my game

    It keeps saying "you can not see other people content go to xbox privacy and change your settings" and everything is allowed

    Activity feed notifications on xbox one?

    Is your account an adult, teen or child?

    For adults, anyone can comment on posts in your activity feed. To change who can add comments, update your privacy settings under Communicate with voice and text. You can do this in the Friends app by selecting My profile, Privacy settings, and then Communicate
    with voice and text.

    Adults can also see comments and captions made by anyone else on Xbox Live. If that doesn't appeal to you, you can change it in your privacy settings under See content other people make. You can do this in the Friends app by selecting My profile, Privacy
    settings, and then See content other people make.

    In both cases, teens and children start with more restrictive settings.

    How Do I Stop Random People Adding Me?

    Change your online safety settings - Customize - then block others from seeing me online

    support.xbox.com/.../default-privacy-settings
    And that solves the problem how????

    microsoft had a way of dealing with interactions with others, and it was perfect as it was. They changed it to inforce this **** social nonsense and no one can opt out. Stopping people seeing you on line doesnt stop them adding you, stalking you and annoying
    you. And even it did, why would a “block everyone” solution work when you can just ignore friend requests and thats the end of it? Maybe he wants to be added by people he likes, and not have to piss about with settings every time.

    It wasnt broken, why try to fix it? Turning xbox into some horrible social media **** show is why its lagging behind the PS4. Xbox might have the better machine, but this treating customers like **** is doing them in. Started with windows ten treating everyone
    like a moron, forcing updates and now this forced social media ****.

    If I go to my settings and put blocked on who can see me online or not will it show my account as offline or last seen?

    Hello Chris 🏎️,

    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Based on the description, you wanted to know what others can see you in your status after changing your online privacy settings. Let us check and see on what we can do to help resolve your concern in a timely manner.

    When you change your online privacy settings on Xbox from allowing everyone to see when you are online to blocking this, it means that your friends and others will not be able to see your online status. This means they won't know whether you're currently online or offline. They will only see you as offline regardless of your actual status. This can be useful setting if you want to play games or watch movies without being disturbed.

    For your reference, see:




    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.
