I am trying to connect from my iOS to a world on Android and I can't. This is so frustrating. How long will it take for you guys to fix this? I have been having this problem since I started playing last year and I spend 1 hour just trying to connect to a world. And to think that MC is a paid game, this isn't a bug you can expect from a paid game. NONE of your workarounds work and NONE of it applies to the my problem.
I am on Android 11 (my Note20). I heard it's a common problem on Android 11. I hope it gets fixed soon. I can't play on my phone.
This also happens on Windows 1.17.40 and Android 1.17.40. I am not sure if it's related by animals easily despawn too. I am not far from the animals (literally in the house next to them) but they despawn anyway.
