                1. Once you\u2019ve located the user, press the user\u2019s name, then click the View Profile<\/strong> icon in the user\u2019s profile picture. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                    1. Once the user accepts your request, Discord will add them to your Friends tab, and you can send them a message, start a voice or video call, and more. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      How To Add Friends on Discord Using the Mobile App<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                      Like all social media platforms, Discord<\/a> also offers a mobile app for Android or iOS phones. Through the app, you can add new friends directly, or you can add a user from a Discord server you\u2019re a member of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      The steps below can be applied on Android and Apple devices, as the Discord mobile app has the same user interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Adding Friends Directly<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                      1. Open the app and tap the Friends tab<\/strong> on the bottom menu. This will show all your friends and whether they\u2019re currently online or offline. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                        \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                        1. Tap the Add Friend<\/strong> icon on the top-right corner. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                          \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                          1. From here, you\u2019ll need to provide the Discord username or tag of your friend in the box provided. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                            \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                            1. After typing it in the box, tap the Send Friend Request<\/strong> button.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                              \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                              That\u2019s it! All you have to do is wait for your friend to accept your request. Once accepted, your new friend will appear in the Friends<\/strong> tab. Here, you can call or message any user by simply tapping the icons next to their username. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Adding Friends in a Discord Server<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                              If you want to add anyone from a Discord server, follow the steps below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              1. Tap the Discord <\/strong>icon found in the left-bottom corner of your screen. This will bring up all your direct messages and channel lists. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                1. Then, select the server or channel that contains the friend you wish to add. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                                  \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                                        Building a Better Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                        Perhaps most people know Discord as the app that allows people to stream and play other online games. However, it does more than just that. This platform also bridges friends together and provides a means of communication that is way more efficient than other platforms.
