The recent update to the Minecraft Bedrock Friends UI has severely impacted the multiplayer experience by removing features that were previously essential for finding and joining worlds. These changes are not minor, they significantly break the usability of the multiplayer menu and make it incredibly frustrating for players who rely on these indicators to join worlds.
World name is no longer shown
Version number is hidden
Player count (e.g. 2/5) is removed
Maxplayers completely removed
The joinability indicator now only shows if the player is online, not if the world is joinable
In addition, this relates to MCPE-191161
Multiplayer has become noticeably less accessible, with fewer visible active worlds and limited information available before joining. It’s now more difficult to find active sessions, world names are no longer shown, version details are hidden, and the joinability indicator only reflects if the player is online, not if the world can actually be joined. Without player counts or popularity indicators, it's hard to tell how active or suitable a world is before connecting.

@umija5895M this is one bug report, the bug is that the new UI removed descriptions
The seperate bugs:
Friends of friends option removed (the other one) MCPE-191161
New UI removes world descriptions (this one)
I don’t think it’s necessary to make a separate bug report for every description
Please reopen this if you may!

I think it’s only that I worded it in a weird way so you might have gotten confused and thought it was separate things due to the bullet points and structure. It is certainly not, the bug report is that the descriptions are completely gone.
