When my friends try to join me in Minecraft, it says "Unable to connect to world." Even when I try to join them it says the same things. I've swiped out the app multiple times and I've also restarted my device multiple times. Is this a bug?

I’m also experiencing a similar bug. I’m trying to play with some friends, (we’re all playing on iOS) but they’re all able to join the world, except me. It keeps me in the “generating world” and then says “locating server” but it then says unable to connect or disconnected from world. Sometimes it remains loading for minutes. I thought it was an internet issue, but my internet is working fine. I tried uninstalling the Minecraft app and reinstalling but it’s the same.

Thank you for your report!

Experiencing this same bug too 😞 It works fine if you don't use iOS but I can't play with my friends since they all have iOS.
