This happens to me all the time, but it might just be because the system is slightly weak.
THEY FIXED THE CHAT BUG!!! 😃
Sometimes I think the game crashed by the chat so I turn my switch off and at the last second the game starts playing again. ;.;
How is my chat bug report a duplicate of this????? MCPE-98923
This has nothing to do with that report, it doesn't mention any problem with the chat features, this is also not resolved or a duplicate, this is a report about a bug in the chat feature and the kick/disconnected screen that causes crashing and freezing alone, so please change this back to unresolved, as it is it's own problem, thank you.
This happens to me as well, I also reported this, MCPE-98923.
It happens to me too but it only shows people "offline" for me if they're on MCPE.
I'm having the same issue as well, whenever I try to log in after I have to restart my Switch, I have to re-enter the code again, and again, and again, and it won't keep me logged in after I restart.
This happened to me once when I was playing on someone else's world.
Yea, it's been pretty hard to play the game since 1.16.20. 😞
I figured out why it's happening, please ignore this and thanks.
