    Xbox privacy settings will not update


    Hello, I have been trying to update my privacy settings for Xbox by pressing update so I can add friends but it acts like I didn't. It hasn't been changing and on the Xbox app it still tells me to change it and when trying to add a friend on Minecraft
    so I can't add any friends.

    Can't update privacy settings

    Just to be sure, were all your settings set to allow previously?

    Can't update privacy settings

    Firstly, are you on a child account? (Microsoft automatically assign any account with the age set to below 21 years as a child account). If you're on a child account, you'll need a parent (adult) account in order to change your privacy settings.

    The parent account will need to create a family group and add you as a "Member" while they are the "Organiser" in order to change your settings. Here's a detailed explanation of how to do that https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil....

    If you're not on a child account or to know how to change the settings from an adult account please see here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-onli...

    Refer to the "Manage settings on Xbox.com" tab, underneath it you'll find how to manage your privacy settings on an Adult or Child account.

    Privacy settings aren’t updating

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    Kindly sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings and from there make sure that the following settings are set to "allow" or "everyone"

    You can see and upload community creations

    You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text

    Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites

    You can play with people outside of Xbox Live

    You can create and join clubs

    You can join multiplayer games

    Make sure to "submit" them in every tab to ensure that it will detect the changes and then perform a powercycle on the console then try again.

    POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

    ​​​

    1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​
