Minecraft no longer works with Wifi Direct. It used to in the past, and now in 0.16, you have to turn on "Use Cellular Data" and sign out of XBOX live in order for it to work. But now, in the build 5, it doesn't work at all. At least for me and my brother. Could someone try and test this? Make sure you're disconnected from wifi.

For the past couple of weeks no-one in our household has been able to access minecraft pe while our wifi is switched on, meaning we cannot play multiplayer together. With wifi switched on all we get is a white screen after the mojang loading screen. With wifi off it loads easily and all options are available and we can play all our worlds. If we turn on wifi during play it works if we're already on a world, but freezes if we're still on the options page. We've all bought this so we can play together, which we did easily up to a couple of weeks ago, so this is really frustrating 😞
Version 1.1.2
