Roblox’s Friend System in 2025
Roblox has updated how friends work with two types of connections:
- Connections – This is the new version of “friends.” If both players accept, you’ll be listed in each other’s connections.
- Trusted Connections – Available for players 13+ who verify their account. This unlocks better chat features, more ways to communicate, and safer interactions.
This setup makes Roblox more fun while keeping players safe from unwanted requests.
How to Add Friends from the Roblox Homepage
The simplest way to add someone is through the Roblox homepage:
- Log in to your Roblox account.
- Click the three bars in the corner to open the menu.
- Select Friends.
- Type the player’s exact username in the search bar.
- Be sure to choose People (not groups, games, or items).
- Find the correct profile.
- Click Add Friend.
Once you send the request, the button changes to Request Sent. If they’ve already added you, you’ll see Accept Request instead.
👉 Tip: Don’t spam requests. Sending too many can annoy players and even get you blocked. Just one friendly request is enough.
Adding Friends While Playing
You can also add friends directly while playing a game:
- On PC: Press Esc, open the Players tab, then click Add Friend next to their name.
- On Mobile: Tap the three-bar menu, go to Players, and tap Add Friend beside their username.
- Sidebar List: Many games show a player list on the side. On PC, press Tab to open it, then click the username and send a request.
Roblox will pop up a message at the bottom of your screen when your request is accepted or declined.
This is a quick way to connect with someone you just met in-game.
How to Add Friends on Different Devices
On PC
- Log into Roblox.
- Open the main menu → Friends.
- Search the username under People.
- Select the profile → click Add Friend.
- Or add directly while playing through the Players tab.
On Mobile (iOS & Android)
- Open the Roblox app.
- Tap the three dots at the bottom.
- Go to Friends → tap the search icon.
- Enter the username and pick the right player.
- Tap Add Friend.
- Your request will stay pending until accepted.
On Xbox Console
Roblox on Xbox doesn’t have a direct “Add Friend” button, but you can still send requests:
- Open the Microsoft Edge browser on your Xbox.
- Go to Roblox.com and log in.
- Open the menu → Friends.
- Search the username.
- Click Add Friend.
It’s a bit longer than PC or mobile, but it works just fine.
Managing Friend Requests
After you start adding people, you’ll want to manage your requests:
- View Requests: Go to the Friends section to see pending ones.
- Accept/Decline: Choose whether you want to connect.
- Remove Friends: Open their profile → click Unfriend.
Roblox also has an Alias feature where you can give friends nicknames, making it easier to remember them even if they change usernames.
Roblox Party Feature (2025)
The Party feature makes playing with friends much easier. Here’s how it works:
- Open Roblox and go to the Party tab.
- Tap + to invite connections.
- Once everyone joins, click Create Party.
- Pick any game and the whole group stays together.
This way, you can move between games without losing your friends.
Trusted Connections & Safety
Roblox takes safety seriously, especially for younger players. Trusted Connections add an extra layer of protection:
- Players 13+ can verify with ID or face check.
- Verified friends unlock full chat and extra tools.
- If a teen adds an adult, Roblox may ask for confirmation that they know each other outside the game.
This keeps Roblox safe while giving verified players more freedom to communicate.
Common Issues & Fixes
- Can’t send a request → They may have blocked requests, hit the 1,000-friend limit, or blocked you.
- Request not showing → Refresh the app, clear cache, or re-log.
- Too many requests → Roblox may pause your ability to send more. Wait a few hours.
Quick Tips for Adding Friends Safely
- Double-check usernames (they’re case-sensitive).
- Add a short, polite message if possible.
- Only add people you trust or enjoy playing with.
- Don’t spam requests—it lowers your chances of getting accepted.
- Never share personal info with Roblox friends.
