So this is a problem I have been encountering both on xbox one and on my android device. My friends are having this same exact problem as well. When you log onto a realm through the realm itself, you can not see other player's status, wether they are a member or operator etc. Instead of the icon that should show up to the right of every player's gamertag in the pause menu, it's glitched out and shows a grey rectangle behind the gamertag in the middle. This means that you can't change anyone's restrictions if someone if griefing for example. You can't change difficulty or any other realm settings.

But when you join the same realm, but this time through a friend that is already playing, all these issues go away.

This is very annyoing and it's a crucial part of a working and well administered realm! Please fix!
