How to Add Friends on Roblox

2 min read Updated

Roblox lets you have up to 200 friends and 1,000 followers per account. Adding people is fast — here are the three ways to do it.

Add from a profile

  1. Search the user's name in the top search bar or click their avatar from a game.
  2. Open their profile.
  3. Click Add Friend. They'll receive a request to accept or ignore.

Add someone you just played with

Open the People menu inside the game and tap the user. You'll see Add Friend right there — no need to leave the game.

Add by username

If you know someone's exact username, type it into the Roblox search bar, open their profile, and add them. Be careful with similar-looking names — impersonation is common.

Manage friend requests

Open Friends from the home page. Pending requests appear at the top. You can accept, ignore, or block.

Remove or block a friend

On a friend's profile, click the three-dot menu. From there you can unfriend or block. Blocking hides their messages and prevents them from joining your games.

Frequently asked questions

How many friends can I have?
200. Beyond that, people can still follow you (up to 1,000), but they won't be friends.
Can I add friends I don't know in real life?
You can, but be cautious. Don't share personal info, and use Roblox's reporting tools if anyone makes you uncomfortable.
Why can't I add a particular user?
Their privacy settings may not allow friend requests, or they've blocked you.
Do friends see what I'm playing?
Yes — friends can see your online status and the game you're in unless you set your account to private.
