Hello! My friend and I have been having the same issue as each other and are becoming very frustrated. 

Whenever we open our Minecraft bedrock we cannot connect to our friend's realms or the marketplace. When we go to the "friends" tab to find realms, it says "We could not connect to Realms right now. We will try again soon." This has been going on for a week now, and I just want to play minecraft with my friends soon. 

When I try to connect to the marketplace to get new skins, it never loads and doesn't connect. I've tried messing with the internet connection but that doesn't seem the issue since my friend from another part of the state has been having the same problem as me. I'm just confused because this happened out of nowhere! I'd really appreciate some help soon
