  • Hi @mindnightpanada

    Has your friend checked their account privacy settings to make sure they have cross-play and invites enabled?

    Can you try removing him from your friends list and re-adding him to test and see if that helps? I've seen a few cases where that can do the trick with similar issues. 

    If you're able to give it a shot please let me know how it goes. Thanks! 

  • I have a similar issue. I play on Nintendo switch and  I can’t add friends. Luckily I noticed in the friends screen it said you may have one or more privacy setting on your EA account that might be limiting their ability to send you friend or club invites. But I can’t find the setting.

  • Also have this issue from my xbox and my friend on switch. All settings are correct, no child account

  • GO to Origin app.then click Origing and click ea account and billing and it will open you  profile of  your go privacy settings to set that you can be seen by everyone and click real name and after all go update and thats all! Good luck!

  • My friend can't send or receive friend invites, he has all of the correct settings on, what do we do?
