      My brother was playing on the Lifeboat server and I attempted to join him by clicking on the "Friends" tab. However, the tab stated that none of my friends were playing Minecraft at the time, despite the fact that we Xbox friends, and we were indeed playing Minecraft. This has occurred in the past with normal worlds, not just servers. This happens more frequently with cross-platform multiplayer worlds.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Grab a friend. You'll need one to reproduce the bug properly.
      2. Open the Minecraft app.
      3. Press the "Play" button.
      4. Click the "Friends" tab and look under "Joinable worlds".

      Expected result: Under "Joinable worlds", the name of the player and the world/server they are in should appear as available to join.

      Observed (actual) result: A text box with the words, "Your friends are not playing Minecraft right now" appears, even when I have a friend who is playing Minecraft.
