Adding friends on Discord allows you to easily connect and communicate with people. The process is straightforward and involves navigating the app's interface to enter your friend's unique identifier.
To add a friend on Discord, follow these steps based on the standard method:
Steps to Add a Friend
- Press on the Discord logo in the top-left corner of the application. This typically takes you to your Home screen where you can manage friends and direct messages.
- Next, make sure you have the Friends tab selected and then press the button that says Add Friend. This button is usually prominently displayed in the Friends section.
- Here you can type in or paste the username of the friend you'd like to add. You will need their full Discord username, which includes their unique tag (e.g.,
Username#1234).
Understanding Discord Usernames
When adding a friend, it's crucial to use their exact full username, including the case-sensitive username part and the four-digit tag (often called a discriminator). For example, if your friend's username is AwesomeGamer and their tag is #9876, you would type AwesomeGamer#9876 into the "Add Friend" field. If the username or tag is incorrect, the friend request will fail.
Adding friends makes it simple to start calls, direct message conversations, or see when your friends are online and playing games.
