First Solution
This solution will solve the error message “Unable to connect to world” on your Minecraft. First, launch the game. Head to the settings and then tap on Profile. Scroll down and find the option “Sign out of your Microsoft account.” Now before you tap on it, scroll down even more and find the toggle for cellular data. Enable the cellular data option and then tap on the sign-out option. Now, close the game and restart it. You will be prompted to sign in again. Sign in using the correct account. Once done, try to join a multiplayer server. You will not get any errors this time.
Second Solution
Check the LAN settings of the device which is hosting the server. Also, if you are trying to join a server, you will have to set your LAN to be visible to all. In your iPad/iPhone, go to your phone settings. Navigate to the Privacy tab and tap on it. Then, look for Local Network. Tap on it and look for Minecraft. The local network for Minecraft should be enabled/on. If it is off in your settings, enable it and then restart your game. The LAN should work fine after this modification.
