How to Add Friends on Roblox

Roblox includes a built-in friends system that allows players to connect, communicate, and join experiences together. Adding friends is simple, and the platform offers several ways to find users and manage your friend list.

Ways to Add Friends on Roblox

You can add friends on Roblox through search tools, in-game menus, or from your recent players list. Each method works across all supported devices, including PC, mobile, and console.

  • Searching by username
  • Sending a friend request from a profile
  • Adding players from an active game session
  • Choosing from the “Recently Played With” list

Adding Friends by Username

This is the most common way to add a friend. If you know a user's exact username, you can send a request directly.

  • Open the Search bar on the Roblox website or app.
  • Enter the username exactly as it appears.
  • Select the correct profile from the search results.
  • Click the Add Friend button.

The request will remain pending until the other user accepts it.

Adding Friends from a Profile Page

You can send a friend request from any user’s profile. This is useful when you meet someone inside a game and want to add them afterward.

  • Open the user’s profile page.
  • Click the Add Friend button under the avatar.

If the user has privacy restrictions, the option might not be available.

Adding Players from a Game Session

Roblox lets you see all players currently in the same server.

  • Open the in-game menu by pressing Esc (PC) or tapping the menu button (mobile).
  • Go to the Players tab.
  • Select the user you want to add.
  • Press Add Friend.

This method is quick and helpful when teaming up with other players.

Recently Played With

Roblox keeps a history of users you have recently met in experiences.

  • Go to your Friends page.
  • Open the Recently Played With section.
  • Choose a profile and tap Add Friend.

This feature helps you reconnect with players from random sessions.

Accepting Friend Requests

To accept or decline requests, use the Friends menu.

  • Open the Friends tab.
  • Go to Requests.
  • Click Accept or Ignore.

Roblox has a limit of 200 friends, but you can follow additional users without adding them as friends.

Privacy Settings for Friend Requests

You can control who is allowed to send you friend requests by adjusting your privacy settings.

  • Open Settings.
  • Select Privacy.
  • Choose who can add you: Everyone, Friends of Friends, or No One.

This helps prevent unwanted requests and keeps your account secure.

Joining Friends in Experiences

Once two users are friends, they can join each other's games more easily.

  • Open your Friends list.
  • Select a friend currently playing.
  • Click Join if the experience allows it.

Some games may require additional permissions from the developer.

Summary

Adding friends on Roblox is simple and can be done through search, in-game menus, or recent player lists. By managing your friend requests and adjusting privacy options, you can create a safe and enjoyable social experience on the platform.
