Send a Friend Request in Roblox Mobile
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
On a phone, open More > Friends, search for the player's username, then use the Add control. A pending request cannot be sent again.
Confirm the starting state
Before following the procedure, confirm the exact username, current connection status, account limits, privacy settings, and whether the intent is a friend request, experience invite, or private-server link. Record the current state so the result can be compared without guessing or erasing useful evidence. Note any affected data, permissions, purchases, security controls, or files that must remain intact.
Open Friends
In the Roblox phone app, tap More at the bottom, then tap Friends.
Search for the player
Tap the search icon, enter the player's Roblox username, and select the matching result.
Send the friend request
Tap the Add control next to the username. Roblox shows Pending when a request has already been sent.
Use the tablet route when needed
On a tablet, open Home, use the search control, select the player, then choose Send Friend Request.
Verify the result
After completing the supported steps, confirm that the intended profile shows a pending or accepted request and no duplicate request is sent. Repeat the original task once so a cached or temporary result is not mistaken for a durable fix, then check that the protected account, data, permissions, and settings still have their intended state.

If the user cannot be found, a request is already pending, either account reached a limit, privacy or parental controls block requests, or an experience invite was required instead, stop broad resets and return to the last known safe state. Record the exact message, account or device scope, versions, and failed step before using the linked official support route.
