Fortnite, a popularonline multiplayer game, allows you to join a friend’s party to play the game online. However, recently some users have reported that they cannot join friends’ parties. Whenever the user tries to join a friend’s party, either they get unable to join the party error or are kicked out of the party as soon as they join it.
This is a common error and there is no clear-cut instruction to resolve it. However, here are a couple of solutions that you can try to troubleshoot this issue on your device.

1. Change the Skin
As strange as it may sound, users have reported that changing the Skin has fixed the error, and they can join the friend’s party again. Here is how to do it.

Another workaround to fix the unable to join friends party error in Fortnite is to change the lobby to public and then join the party without the invite.

3. Join Friends through the Epic Friends List
Alternatively, you can try to join the friend’s party through the Epic game Friends list. However, first, you need to add your friends to your Epic account using their Epic username or email address. Once added, you can invite them to join the party, here is how to do it.
4. Download Fortnite Save the Word Content
Another user reported solution is to turn on Fortnite Save the Word option in the settings. Here is how to do it.
