I recently started a survival world on Minecraft a couple days ago. Everything runs fine, and there seems to be no issues at all. However, I’ve been trying to invite my friends to my world so we can play together, although multiplayer seems to be broken or something. Nothing is wrong on my end, I have all the proper settings turned on, which makes me believe it’s a bug. Before entering my world, it says multiplayer is enabled (first pic) however while playing, it says it’s off (third pic). Lastly, when trying to invite my friends, I can see who’s online, and when I proceed to invite them, they never get the invite.
Hope u guys can help me out
Thanks 🙂

I also tried doing the following (didn’t work)
~ rebooting my phone
~ signing out of Xbox & signing back in
~ reinstalling Minecraft

I have this same issue and have tried very similar steps. It is also on an iOS device. This issue does not affect my Win10 device. I will check my Switch and see if it effects it, but I think this may be an iOS issue.

My friends cant even play with me because this is so bad
I miss the servers I haven't been able to actually play long enough to enjoy it before I get disconnected
Could you please confirm if the issue persists if you are using Mobile data or Wifi?

Now im just getting unable to connect glitches :L

I also have the same issue. I see that my friends are online. But if I invite them, they won't receive the invite. Even that multiplayer game is on and the Microsoft account settings to "Friends of Friends". They can sometimes receive the invite and when they accept it, they can't play my game. I'm using an iPad 3 with the version of iOS 9.3.5 and some of my friends are using Android and Windows 10. My brother can join via LAN games. I haven't tried connecting my brother to another network to see if the bug works.

Tell the host of the world to switch off the multiplayer settings and turn it back on and inquire him that if he is in the mobile network, if he is that might be the problem.

I have the same problem. Please fix this issue. I am using cellular data when I play, could that be the problem? Please respond.

I use wifi, I think it is client-releated as it will fail to join somebody until they join me then i join them. After that happens, i magically join.
Thank you for your report!
