Fix Minecraft Sign-In Problems on iPhone or Android
Source-checked · About 10 minutes
Answer
In Minecraft on iPhone, iPad, or Android, select Sign In, continue in the Microsoft sign-in window, and use the intended account. If it fails, sign into the Xbox mobile app with that same Microsoft account, then reset any stale Minecraft session through Settings > Account > Sign out of Microsoft Account and retry.
Open Minecraft, select Sign In, select Sign In again in the new window, enter or choose the intended Microsoft account, and select Let's Go. Allow the profile to load.
2
Verify the account in Xbox mobile
Open the Xbox mobile app and sign in with the same Microsoft account. Confirm the expected gamertag, then return to Minecraft and retry.
3
Reset a stale Minecraft session
In Minecraft, open Settings > Account > Sign out of Microsoft Account. Fully close and reopen the app, select Sign in for free, and complete the displayed remote-connect flow.
4
Update Minecraft and verify
Install Minecraft's current update from Apple App Store or Google Play, then retry. Success means the expected gamertag, profile, and previously purchased Marketplace content load.
If it does not work
The Apple ID or Google account supplies the mobile app; the Microsoft account supplies Minecraft cross-play, social, Realms, and portable Marketplace identity.
If the Microsoft account fails in a browser or Xbox app too, use Microsoft Sign-in Helper. Child multiplayer permissions are separate from signing in.
