MCPE-167325Cannot connect to servers or LAN
Ever since the .62 update my family cannot connect to each others games. It's happening between ipad -> ipad or xbox ->ipad and back. All screens just sit there and state connecting to multiplayer before timing out essentially. LAN doesn't even appear in the list, and realms 90% of the time state "cannot display realms"
Been working fine on .60. Haven't changed any network settings on home wifi nor devices. Tried resetting minecrafts, reinstalling, relogging into accounts, checking ports. Nothing seems to work.

The same problem is happening on my devices, between iPhone -> iPad.
No network settings changed, just updated app on all devices from .60 to .62.
Same issue, do not see each other worlds on "Friends" tab on multiple iPads / Windows 10. Worked fine recently. No signed-in to XBoxlive.
Same here on my Windows 11 to Windows 10 computers on LAN.
Very annyoying as the issue was there recently, got resolved and now pops back up.
Only fix I found so far was to run VPN's on my kid's ipads and it seems to now connect to my wife's game on Xbox.
I did come across deleting and re-adding friends to make a LAN option appear. Will try that tonight.
Same issue started with .62 update. Can't see any local LAN games.
iPad <-> iPad
Windows10 <-> iPad
Disappointed that my kid and I can't play together anymore.
I have the same issue with LAN and playing with my kids. Stopped working after this last update to .62
Win10<
>Win10<>Win10 devicesThe same thing is happening on our devices as well. Worked fine before the .62 update.
Having same problem. iPad <-> iPad. Sadly cant play with my son anymore.
Same problem. All devices running Minecraft 1.19.62
Local game server running on an iPad (iPadOS 16.2, 20C65).
Can not connect either from another iPad (iPadOS 16.2, 20C65) or Windows 10 Home (19045.2604). 100% reproducible with one of two behaviors:.
(1) Sometimes, LAN games do not show up under the Friends tab at all
(2) Other times, LAN games under the Friends tab as "Joinable Friends". In the past, it used to show up under "LAN Games". Not sure if the change was intentional, o a symptom of the problem.
If you try to connect to that game,the "Connecting to multiplayer game" screen shows for a while before failing with a screen displaying "Connection timed out. Unable to connect to world."
Screenshots available on request, if you think that will help.
I have been unable to connect on windows 10 to my phone running Android 10. Will add that they are both using the same Microsoft account, although being able to connect like that is something that has worked for a while now.
I have same issue between any devices I have (iPhone, iPad, Windows10, Android).
All devices worked fine with 1.19.60, don’t work with 1.19.62.
Wanted to add, while I am able to reproduce this problem 100% on 1.19.62, I encountered the same problem almost 100% of the time on 1.19.60.
In about a dozen attempts on 1.19.60 (LAN server on iPad, iPad or Windows 10 clients), I was only able to connect successfully once (from Windows client)
Therefore, this problem may have been introduced in 1.19.60 or earlier. But 1.19.62 may have made it worse
Cant connect from Win10 edition to PS4 edition but can connect the opposite way, the lan game will just not show up in the menue.
Thank you for your report!
