First thing you need is the right Minecraft APK version. Make sure you and your friends all have the same one. If anyone has a diffrent version it might not work. Also allow all permissions like storage and network so the game runs smooth.
Create or Join a World
You can either create your own world or join a friend’s world. If you want to host make sure to turn on “Multiplayer” in world settings. Then your friends can join if they are on the same Wi-Fi. If your freind hosts you can find their world in the “Friends” tab.
Use Local Wi-Fi or Hotspot
The easiest way to play together is by using the same Wi-Fi or turning on mobile hotspot. Everyone must connect to the same network. This lets Minecraft detect nearby players and show their worlds in-game. No internet needed just local network.
Invite Friends with Xbox Account (Optional)
If you’re using Minecraft APK that supports Xbox login you can also add friends using Xbox gamertag. Then you can invite them to your game even if they are far. This needs strong internet and sometimes might lag on weak phones.
