As mentioned in my Reddit post:
Since I mentioned invites, I click on invite player from my Win10 version and pick the Xbox id for my Switch. On my Switch you get a quick popup that lasts about 2 seconds tops, and tells you that you have an invite and press the - button to accept. That's fine if you are the Flash(tm), because if you miss the invite, which I have done even knowing it was coming, there doesn't seem to be a way to pull it back up. On the Xbox you can go to your messages and click on it, or on the Win10 machine click on the messages and click on it. On the Switch, miss your two second window and it's gone.

Currently on Nintendo Switch myself in v1.17.11 and I have this same issue every time an invitation is sent to me. The notification pops up very briefly, about 2 seconds as mentioned, and there is nowhere I have found to access invitations after the pop up fades away. It happens every single time, without fail so I don’t understand how this issue was flagged as unable to replicate. Same issue across two Switch consoles, with separate Minecraft and Xbox accounts on each, in the same game version.
Clarissa,
It's crazy huh. I had this happen even last week. Someone I played with on a realm invited me to play on their world, and I couldn't get to the "-" button in time and the invite was gone forever. Since it was an out of the blue invite, I was still reading it when it disappeared. I was hoping they would send me another invite, and sat there for minutes waiting, ready to hit the button, but alas nothing. It's pretty disappointing the way this was treated....
Megaspud,
Just because a ticket didn't have additional comments, doesn't mean the ticket was unreproducable. And I thought I did a pretty good job of explaining the issue. It would take a junior programmer maybe 5 mins tops to fix this if they did a minimum of extend the popup time, and probably part of a day if they worked up a new screen that we could go to and access invites that have been sent to us.
It would be nice if this were to get resolved the right way, especially since on our Switch we don't have any way to respond or message our friends, like is available on other platforms.
Thanks,

I want to add to this. I managed to click on the - button on my Switch today in time to catch an invite, and I ran into another problem. It didn't take me to the invite, it brought up the Emote page.... That's another bug that needs to be fixed. Or if you don't want to call it a bug, something that needs remapping. I really hope someone looks at this because this is something basic testing should have caught.
