Best Answer

Your friend will need to be running a server for you to connect to, with his world, or you create one and start on it together. There are utilities for running a server using your PC, and also a (separate) paid application that you can use on iOS to host the server.

PoketMine (PC program)

(link to project page)

You can use this application on your home computer to run a server, that your friend will be able to connect to. This requires that you have a stable internet connection (preferably with a static IP address, though you could use a dynamic DNS service), and don't mind leaving your computer on whenever you want to play.

It's fairly simple to get set up, and there are instructions on the project web site to help you along. The documentation is fairly detailed, and the application itself is free.

Multiplayer for Minecraft PE (iOS App)

(link to application on iTunes store)

I can't say much about this, but I've heard that it's fairly simple to use. It saves you having a PC running, but performance would probably be degraded if playing it on the same device you're using for Minecraft PE (if that's even possible?)

Either way, neither of these help unless your friend is using them already. And, honestly, chances are that he's not otherwise he'd have told you how to connect.

It doesn't look like there's a way to import an existing world into either of these applications.

Can I play Minecraft with friend from different country?

Setting up and running an online server means that anyone with your external IP address will be able to join your server and play in your Minecraft world.

Can you play Minecraft with friends that are far away?

So to answer your question, you can play with anyone regardless of how far away they are, as long as you both have a connection to the internet. The only thing that the physical distance (from the server) would affect is the ping.

How do you play Minecraft with friends in different locations?

Launch Minecraft and click on Multiplayer. Minecraft will automatically scan for games on your local network. If another player has a LAN world available to join, it'll show up in your list of servers. You can either double-tap the server or highlight it and click Join Server.
