After bedrock was introduced, I can never join my friends worlds. I can play with them in servers and in editions but I can’t play with them in their and my worlds. The same thing comes up: “Unable to connect to world.”

I don’t know what this is meant for. I think I have stated everything.
Also, the “Affected Versions” wasn’t working for me. I wanted to say PlayStation 4 v8.52 as a software update and v1.17.2 in Minecraft for PlayStation 4.
