As of the last few hours, the friend statuses have begun not working. All players in the friends list show as offline. The presence.roblox.com API endpoint returns empty statuses for all users when the user id list is greater than 1.
I’m also experiencing this issue, but differently to Hoofer this issue does not occur in the Roblox app itself. By using the Roblox app it allows me to view my connections that are within experiences on Roblox.
I can confirm that this is happening to me as well!
After Roblox updated from “Friends” to “Connections,” this problem began. Looking at both the website and the Roblox Universal App, they all have the same problem.
The only way to see what your friends are playing is to click on their preview profile. Only works on Roblox Universal App.
