Xbox Party Chat Stops Working On Android Once I Open Minecraft

Fossey2 · Aug 7, 2022

Hoping Someone Can Help,

I have installed the Xbox app on my amazon fire tablet so that I can communicate with my friends who I play Minecraft with. They are on an xbox one and a PC while I play on my tablet.

I downloaded the app so that I could use party chat. I know I was successful as once they invited me to an xbox party chat and I accepted the invite, I could hear them and they could hear me. However, when I click back on Minecraft to begin playing in the world we are all in, the party chat ceases to work at all for me. It will only stay working if I have the Xbox app open and viewable on my tablet.

As soon as I open Minecraft and to begin playing, the xbox party chat ceases to work for me and I can no longer hear them and they can no longer hear me. HELP!

:)

Hi, Fossey2! thank you for writing in.

My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

I'm sorry to hear you've been experiencing some issues with the Xbox mobile app.

To clarify, have you already checked if the Xbox mobile app works if you launch a different game/app instead of Minecraft?

Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards.

Hi AJ,

Thanks for replying!

I tested and the Xbox mobile app party chat stops working if I launch anything. Any clue what could be causing this?
