  According to WGT services this is not a glitch but was removed from mobile devices as part of the overhaul and according to them will come back sometime in the future.

  Really disappointed that we are four days into this with no feedback from WGT.  

   

  “WGT IS BETTER WITH FRIENDS

  INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO JOIN WGT & PLAY VIRTUAL GOLF TOGETHER”

   

  How’s that supposed tae work if we cannae see one another to invite? 🤔

  Yes Don that’s an easy temp fix for those playing on a laptop/PC/Mac but for those that are playing Mobile/Devices it isn’t quite that simple. Anyone on any kind of Apple device (iPhone/iPad) can not access that feature on their devices as Flash does not work on them. 

  Not really sure why WGT disabled/removed it when they did not have a solution ready to replace it????

  Not sure whether this has been covered but if your willing to jump thru hula hoops you can turn your visible light on or off from your mobile device. You need to download a browser with flash.i use the free version of Photon. Then sign in and activate the flash Above youR friends is the button to turn it on or off,

  There use to be a way to make yourself visable to friends in the EA version using the 3 dots. When did that option disappear?

  A week or two ago there was an update and in it the RH menu was removed from the PCEA/Steam/Mobile games. All the functions from that menu were moved over and combined with the LH Menu EXCEPT for the “Visible to Friends” check box, it was just removed. Through WGT_champs post about the update and what was changed he mentioned that this was temporary and it would be “fixed” when totally new menus were added in a later update.

  Thanks Marchie. Also noticed today that there is no reverse camera from behind the green. I usually use this option to watch opponent putt or what shot they might take. Also used it myself for putting. Any way, played my first A/S today using new version and the putting is a challenge for me. Going to take some rounds to figure it out.
