Can't connect to other Minecraft Game on ipad
Both of my daughters have Minecraft downloaded on their iPad minis. They used to be able to play together in the same "world," and now they can't. To our knowledge, no settings have changed, both iPads are up to date in terms of Apple software. Can anyone help?
(any help would be greatly appreciated as my 5 year old and 7 year old really miss playing along with eachother.)
Best Answer
Ensure "local server multiplayer" is enabled in options.
Ensure none of the devices is using a VPN.
Ensure ALL of the devices have the latest version of Minecraft PE. If that's not so, there's no way it's going to work.
To update an app on iOS:
- Open App Store app from home screen.
- Browse into updates tab.
- Scroll down to find Minecraft PE.
- Press the "UPDATE" button next to the game.
- If needed insert Apple ID password.
- Wait for update to finish.
Repeat this for all iPads.
Ensure all the iPads have A DIFFERENT MINECRAFT NAME!
You can change the name in Options menu, from "Steve" to something else.
If it still doesn't work, this might be a issue with Unique Device Identifier of Minecraft. Reset it by uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft PE. This will unfortunately remove the worlds.

Ensure the "local server multiplayer" server setting is enabled in the options menu of the game, then wait at the world select screen long enough for the iPads to see one another on the network. But with the latest update you have to connect to Xbox live to play with family and friends
