Will they ever fixe the Xbox app (iOS)?

For me, it's been like this ever since I upgraded to iOS 16.

I figured it'd be fixed soon.

Hey there tunes124,

I actually have another thread on the forums
HERE, with some other folks who are having this issue. If you don't mind, can you please try the steps in my verified post and respond in that thread with the details and info?

Thanks so much!

Hello! As a temporal solution i suggest you to use ios/or android xbox app to change your gamerpicture until the bug fixes.

No work.

Still can’t remote play on ios16 with 5G data.

Yup, remote play from any network outside of the network the Xbox is on is currently broken on iOS 16 and has been since iOS 16 beta's initial release.

The Xbox team is aware of it - see Spartycrunch's response at https://www.resetera.com/threads/xbox-remote-play-is-broken-on-ios-16.652536/

There's a thread on Reddit with dozens of people having the same issue. https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/comments/xpmjdi/issues_with_remote_playxbox_app_on_ios_16/

The reviews on the iOS app on the iOS App Store are filled with people reporting the same, if you sort by most recent reviews.

The steps listed by Dérek will have no effect, as this is a bug in the Xbox app on iOS 16, not an issue with the Xbox or NAT configuration, as evidenced by the fact that Android, iOS 15 and below, and Windows devices will be able to remote play from the same Xbox out of network, but iOS 16 fails for those impacted.

Microsoft has yet to formally acknowledge this in any known issues listings. The best we can hope for is that a fix goes in at some point, versus them continuing to sweep it under the rug.

Helo it's a problem already known by mojang , please check :

Mojang has offered a workaround that may work for people who are interested in playing Minecraft on their iOS device. To try this fix, do the following:

1. Close Minecraft on your iOS device. This means fully closing out of the game by opening the multitasking menu and swiping up on Minecraft.
2. Open the Xbox app on your iOS device. You can download the app here if you don't already have it installed.
3. Tap on the hamburger menu.
4. Navigate to Settings.
5. Tap sign-out to sign-out from Xbox Live.
6. Close the Xbox app on your iOS device. You can fully close out of the app by opening the multitasking menu and swiping up on the Xbox app.
