When I am offline, i can't join offline (wifi hotspot) multiplayer . But if sign out from microsoft account ,we can join easily offline multiplayer.This is very terrifying bug. I don't want to sign in or sign out from account. Also, if a friend without microsoft account can join the other friend who have sign in. But who have sign in , can't join the others who don't sign in.

Does MCPE-43626 describe your issue?
If not, can you describe what are the differences?
No this is completely different. So the differences are-:
When you sign in to your microsoft account . You can't join multiplayer world as i have posted. Hotspot or LAN multiplayer doesn't work. Only internet or wi-Fi(with net ) works. Its just shows locating server for about one hour or somehow if it connected then it's automatic left me from my friend world.So basically I am saying my friend has not sign in and i have sign in.So i think it's reconnecting my account offline (without internet).
MCPE-43626 Is all about to send invites but for me, it totally different. When you try to join hotspot (non-data).It automatic left me from my friend world (by not sign in person) after some time. Also sometimes it's not connecting to the world which you want to play

See Both videos. Just follow steps and second phone must be sign in whole process.
You can see these videos . In this video steps are given .Thing you have to do is to sign in one device which you want to connect to multiplayer world. But not sign in on other device which has running world or which world you want to join
This happens to me too. A player with a microsoft account can't play with a player without a microsoft account. It happens everytime. It always happens when both are offline. Its like players with microsoft account cannot join LAN or Wifi Hotspot with players with no Microsoft Account. But I recommend creating a microsoft account its a ticket to go to servers
