The crossing arrows icon denotes players on a different platform.

●Cross-Platform Play On/Off Option
You can change the cross-platform play settings from the Systems option in the Settings menu.
The option is set to On by default.

You can now temporarily mute chat messages from a specific player, as well as report harassment and prohibited behavior.
