Multiple people have reported this issue over the past 2 years & all the new posts are being marked Duplicate/Resolved & moved to MCPE-36190, an unresolved open ticket. There is a "potential workaround" for NAT settings. What if your NAT is open & so are your friends' network settings? This workaround is irrelevant for people who were able to connect & game with this person 5 minutes before doing the most recent update. How can this issue still be unresolved after 2 years? Obviously something was changed in order for there to be a fix or nobody would be playing with their friends. The fact that the friends' list shows nobody & you cannot add the friend either once you search their GT because they are already your friend. I removed my friend & tried to add him in-game I got to send him the invite (which wasn't an option before because he was on my friends' list) but he never received it. Even though I added him as a friend again his world is not viewable for me to see or join. Additional posts for this same issue:
I could continue to add tickets to this not sure what good that would do.
Before the most recent update, I was in my friend's world who plays on PS4. I am on PC. We both updated our games & ever since then I am unable to connect to his world. I continue to get either Connection Timed Out. Unable to connect to world or Unable to connect to world. He cannot connect to me because the update also removed all my friends & when we attempt to add each other, nothing happens when we press on Add Friend.
