We have changed the whole friend system from a name-based one into an ID-based one.
In case you are struggling with the new system, you are at the right place!
Let us help you with the following steps about how to add your friend in the new system.
Make sure that you got your friend's player ID and copied the text.
1. Go to FRIENDS section from your main menu.
2. Tap on the field where player ID is entered.
3. When your keyboard pops up, press and hold on your keyboard to see the PASTE option as shown below.
4. After you paste the player ID of your friend, tap on icon.
5. There you go! You have sent a friend request to your friend. Now it is time to wait for them to accept it.
WARNING: You cannot add your friends by using their username. You have to use their 16 digit player ID.
