How to Send a Friend Request
Search for Your Friend's Username
From the home screen's "Add Friends" or "Connect," search for the username of the person you want to befriend.
On Smartphones, You Can Add via QR Code or Contacts
If you're playing Roblox on a smartphone, you can add friends by sharing your device's contact list or a QR code.
Send a Friend Request
Open the profile screen of the user you want to befriend and select "Add Friend" to send a request.
You Can Also Send Requests From Within a Game
If you want to befriend a user you met while playing a game, open the Roblox menu in-game, find the username of the person you want to befriend, and you can send a request from "Add Friend".
You Become Friends Once Approved
When you send a request, the other person will receive a notification. If they approve it, you become friends; if they decline, you cannot become friends.
Reasons Why You Can't Send a Friend Request
Friend Limit Reached
If the other person's friend count or your own friend count exceeds the limit, you cannot add friends. The friend limit is 200 people, so if you're nearing the limit, try making space by removing friends you haven't played with in a while.
Check if the Username is Correct
If the username you're searching for is incorrect, the friend won't appear in the search, and you won't be able to send a friend request. Have them tell you their ID via chat and copy-paste it, or carefully check for spelling mistakes and try re-entering it.
How to Decline a Friend Request
Select "Ignore" from Notifications
If you want to decline a friend request, select "Ignore" from the notification screen. The friend request from that person will disappear, and you can clear the notification.
You Can Also Decline from the Friends Screen
You can decline a friend request by going to the "Friend Requests" section on the Friends screen and pressing "×". You can also decline all requests at once, so if you have many friend requests, decline them all at once from the Friends screen.
How to Remove a Friend
Unfriend from Their Profile
Go to your friend's profile screen, select "...", and press "Unfriend" to remove them as a friend. When you remove a friend, your chat history with them will be deleted.
How to Block a Friend
Block from Friend's Profile
To block a friend, select the friend from your friends list, tap "...", and then "Block User". Blocking them will also automatically remove them from your friends list. You will no longer be able to send or receive chats, so use this if you are troubled by harassment or other issues.
Unblock from Privacy Settings
To unblock someone, open your Privacy settings and unblock them from "Blocked Users" at the bottom.
Things You Can Do With Friends
Play Games Together
You can invite friends to games and play together. Invite them to cooperative or competitive games and aim to clear the game together.
