Won't let him add friends

Hi Cameron!

What exactly is the error message he's getting?

Please ask your friend to go to his account privacy settings on https://account.xbox.com/Settings then click on Xbox Series X/S privacy tab then make sure that "You can add friends" is set to "Allow" at the bottom part and save changes.

I had my son de-friend him and now it won't let us. He is no longer listed in his friends section.

My 11 yr old just signed up for Xbox live. He wants to add players but I won't let him add "friends" just because of what happened with your nephew. Is there a way to play with strangers but not actually talk to them on the headset but have it muted for
certain players? Hope that makes sense?

My Son's xbox one console is having issues it worked just fine yesterday and now it won't let him send invites or get invites, play games, or see what his friends are saying it won't let him join parties. And this all started after the update and I had
to put his account back on his xbox as well.

If you're not able to add him for whatever the reason may be, try having him add you.

When your friend adds you, you'll receive a notification like this ''this people has added you as a friend'' (something like this)

Go check it out and friend him back.
