This is also occurring on mobile data, not just hotspotting. If you're not on Wi-Fi, multiplayer doesn't work. Not sure why my bug was marked as a duplicate, considering I wasn't using hotspotting, just the mobile version on two different mobile devices on mobile data. Not the same network, and not LAN. Bedrock pocket edition version 1.9.40, on Android 12 and IOS 13.5.1, regular mobile data as internet. I don't have Wi-Fi so this makes Minecraft essentially unplayable for both my partner and I since we barely play solo.
