Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 friend requests

GwynnethMatthews · May 29, 2020

Hi, I have an Xbox 360 console.

When I log into my account on my laptop, I can see the friend request and that the friend is listed under friends. When i play on the Xbox 360 console, it says zero friends.

Help please.

:)

I think you cant see him because he's playing an xbox one game. Tell him to try to lunch a 360 retrocompatible game and then check if you can see him online then.

Hi, how are you? Try to add all your friends directly from the console, sometimes the xbox services fail or are under maintenance. Good day.

Hi cloud I accepted your friends request on Xbox 1 but it's not showing up on my Xbox 360 friend list (now sitting @ 99/100) nor on Xbox.com. Only on my Xbox 1 console. You probably cant read my bio online status or friends list because of this as I keep
that for Friends Only. It's kind of like a mathematical equation how your friends list works if you own a 360 and 1. My friends list on both 360 and 1 load fine. You cant view followers or know if you have any on xbox.com and Xbox 360 until you log onto Xbox
1 console or Xbox 1 smartglass. I wished that make it *standardised* across all of Xbox Live.

Have you tried having him send you a friend request? This is some information I was able to find. It might be worth a shot to have him send you a friend request.

Viewing your Xbox One friends on your Xbox 360 friends list

With Xbox One, a friend is anyone whom you add to your friends list. Adding new friends on Xbox One does not require that they send a friend request first.

When you sign in to an Xbox One console, your Xbox 360 friends will automatically appear in your friends list, as well as your followers list. If you accept a new friend request sent from an Xbox 360 console, you will see them as a friend AND a follower
on Xbox One. However, friends who have been added on Xbox One will not automatically show up on your Xbox 360 list. If you plan to play with them on your Xbox 360, you’ll have to send a friend request through your Xbox 360 console. Once they accept, you’ll
then see them in your friends list on both of your consoles.

Let me try to explain this.

With the Xbox 360 system, you can only have up to 100 friends on it. It won't show followers.

If you friend someone on your Xbox 1 console, and you have a full Xbox 360 friends list, they will not appear on your friends list under the Xbox 360 system.

On Xbox 1, you CAN have up to 1,000 friends. If someone wants to follow you on Xbox 1, they can click the appropriate command on the Dashboard or on this site. The Xbox 1 Dashboard DOES NOT ask you permission to Accept or Decline a follower, unlike friend
requests on Xbox 360. If you don't like them, you can click Block and they will no longer follow (that would teach some randoms and strangers from stalking you ;P). But if you like them and know a bit about them, you can follow them back and that would mean
you'd be friends with them?

Friends can be a bit of a puzzle because of the Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 systems. Note if you want to play Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition, the game will NOT let you join another players world unless you are on someones Xbox 360 friends list who is in the game, even
if the host invites you, regardless if you friends with them only on the Xbox 1 system.
