So, me and my friend play Mineraft in our iPads. We've usually just been using the play-on-same-WiFi thing, but now, to the discovery of the app Multiplayer for Minecraft we see that we can play on separate WiFis. But there's major troubleshooting. We went through this many times on the same WiFi, and thought we were ready to do it too on separate WiFis. It worked fine before, nothing wrong! Then, we try to so this again on separate WiFis and it did NOT work AT ALL. Sure wnough, looked just like when we practized it and working fine UNTILL she actually comes into my Minecraft game that I hosted, she stays there for a while, and according to her, I freeze, and then after a few seconds she disconnects! Why does she keep disconnecting on her WiFi when it was working fine on mine? I'm also pretty sure her WiFi is pretty stable, so I don't think that can be the cause of the problem... Please help! She's leaving in a few days and we really want this to work before then!
Thank you ever so much,
Perla.

I'm just gonna be blunt here, ~That's not helpful at all.~
lol srry :]
Er...umm...well, I don't actually have a LOT of money...so...Multiplayer for Minecraft is really the only way here...at least till this fall. :P
I tried that with my fren, it said 'outdated server' but she was sitting right beside me, and it worked fine for her?!
You need to both have the same version of Minecraft PE for it to work on server multiplayer with the same wifi.
that is the real answer
No you don't need to be in the same house or same wifi
Make sure your world is being broadcast to xbox live, your friend is one your friends on xbox (the apple app) and that you are signed in to mcpe with your xbox account (Start screen bottom left). Start playing the world, and if your friend is w/ his Ipad atm he will be able to join by going to the friends tab
Your friend may be out of storage on her iPad like my iPad. I've run low on storage on my iPad and Minecraft PE crashes a lot for me. I also noticed that on one very popular Minecraft PE server which is Hunger Games I can't connect because it's full but it doesn't say it's full it just says you can't connect. Or maybe your friends iPad is slow because of all the things put on it or downloaded. Or maybe another problem with low iPad storage is a slow iPad. Or it could possibly be a problem with your friend not being on the same wifi as you like my Minecraft Pc/Mac server is doing. Or you guys could be on different Minecraft versions and your friend might be crashing out and disconnecting and freezing because of that. I've tried conencting to friends on different version on Pc/Mac and the app version of the game and I can't connect to friends.
Well you don't need Multiplayer for Minecraft or realms.
If you want a free option to play in different networks/places, get xbox, sign in with xbox account, friend your friend with xbox (MCPE works w/ XBOX app) and whenever you are playing a world, make sure multiplayer settings are set to atleast broadcast to Xbox live.
You may also want to lower graphics and render distance to avoid server lagging/crashing.
The method above is how I play with my cousin who is in Texas, and I in New York.
Good luck!
