Ps5 can not send game invite, as game freezes

Same here. 

cannot invite from anywhere or join

Also having the same issue. Additionally friends cannot invite me. It freezes for them when they try

Deleted and reinstalled and did not fix

Yep  im having the same issue, my friend plays on ps4 and we cannot play together 

Edit: found the fix i guess. 

You need to be friends on apex if you are friends on ps then add each other on apex as well. It did fix that way for me.
