How to Add Friends in Mobile Legends

Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

From the Mobile Legends lobby, open the Friends panel, choose Add Friends, and search for the person's exact player ID or name. Match the nickname, avatar, and server before tapping Follow or Add. The connection is complete when the correct account appears in your Friends list; in builds that use mutual following, the other person must follow you back.

Get the player's exact identity

Ask the person for the player ID and server or zone shown on their Profile. A name alone can match several accounts, so keep their nickname and avatar only as secondary checks.

Open Add Friends

From the main lobby, expand the Friends panel on the right and tap the Add Friends or add-person icon. If the panel is collapsed, tap its edge or Friends icon first.

Search the account

Enter the exact player ID when available; otherwise enter the complete player name and run the search. Compare the result's name, avatar, level, and server with the details the person gave you.

Send the current friend action

Tap Follow, Add, or the add-person button beside the exact result. Do not send the action when the ID or server differs, even if the displayed name looks right.

Complete the connection

Ask the other person to open their Friends or Social requests and accept or follow you back if their build requires it. Reopen your Friends list and verify that the intended player appears there; that visible entry is the success check.

Invite the friend to confirm

Open a lobby invitation and select the new friend. If their account appears and receives the invite, the relationship is usable for normal play.

If it does not work

  • If search returns no result, re-enter the player ID and server exactly and confirm both accounts use a currently supported regional build.
  • If Follow was sent but the player is not in Friends, have both accounts follow each other and check the incoming request list.
  • If the Friends list is full or the action is restricted, remove an unwanted connection or follow the message shown by the game; repeated requests will not bypass a limit.

The Friends labels can vary by regional build; the identity match and visible Friends-list result are the stable checks.
