[MCPE-239002] 2nd player unable to join

Ever since the 26.21 update today, my 2nd player is unable to log into our shared world under my account.

After I’ve logged into the world, my 2nd player goes to join. They hit the hamburger button on their controller and it pops up on the screen for them to join but no button combination allows them to do so.

I believe mine is specific to the latest hotfix as it worked before the hotfix but not after. My kid is going to be devastated if she can’t log in to our shared world that we’re playing under my PlayStation account.
