Adding friends in Among Us lets you keep playing with your favorite crewmates and most cunning imposters. It's not too tricky, and involves using unique friend codes to connect with other players across different platforms. This guide will walk you through the simple steps.

To add friends in Among Us, you'll primarily use a unique friend code assigned to your account. You can also send requests to players you've just played with from the end-game lobby. First, make sure you've created an Among Us account, as guest players cannot add friends.

Finding and Sharing Your Among Us Friend Code

Every Among Us player with an account has a unique friend code. This code is what you'll share with others to connect.

Here’s how to find your friend code:

1. Open Among Us: Launch the game on your device.

2. Access Your Account: From the main menu, look for the "Account" or "My Account" button. It's usually on the left side of the screen.

3. View Your Code: Your unique friend code will be displayed at the top, often above your username. It's typically a combination of letters and numbers, sometimes with a hashtag, like "GlazePeaky#9680". If it's hidden, there might be an eye icon to click and reveal it.

Once you have your code, you can share it with friends through messaging apps, social media, or even by just telling them. Remember, this code is linked to your account and cannot be changed unless you create a new account.

I remember when Among Us first blew up, and I wanted to play with my buddies. It was a bit confusing at first to figure out how to get us all into the same game, especially when we weren't just joining public lobbies. Once we found the friend code system and realized we each had our own, it made things so much easier to get everyone together for a few rounds of detective work (or sabotaging!).

Sending a Friend Request Using a Code

If you have a friend's code, here’s how to send them a request:

1. Go to the Friends Menu: On the main screen, tap the "Friends" tab, usually found in the top right corner.

2. Add a Friend via Code: In the friends menu, you'll see an option like "Add a friend via code". Tap on this.

3. Enter the Code: A text field will pop up. Carefully type in your friend's unique code.

4. Send Request: After entering the code, tap the plus (+) icon or the "Send Request" button next to the text box.

Your friend will then receive a notification about your request.

Accepting a Friend Request

When someone sends you a friend request:

1. Check Your Friends Menu: Go to the "Friends" tab in the game's main menu.

2. View Incoming Requests: There should be a section or icon for "Incoming Requests" or "View Request".

3. Accept the Request: You can then accept their request, and they will be added to your friend list.

Adding Friends from Recently Played Games

Sometimes you meet awesome players in a public lobby and want to keep playing with them. Among Us has a way to send requests after a game:

1. Finish a Game: Play a full round of Among Us.

2. Stay in the End-Game Lobby: After the game ends, you'll be on the lobby screen where you see who was the imposter and who completed tasks.

3. Send Request: Look for the names of the players you just played with. Next to their names, you might see an option to "Send Friend Request". Click on it, and the request will be sent.

Just last week, I had a really fun game with a random player who was a fantastic detective. We won, and I immediately sent them a friend request right from the game's lobby screen. They accepted, and now we team up sometimes. It's a quick way to keep the fun going with people you connect with in-game!

Important Things to Remember

• Account Required: You must have an Among Us account to use the friend system. If you're playing as a guest, you won't be able to add or accept friends. If you need help, check out our guide on How to Make an Account on Among Us.
• Crossplay: Among Us supports crossplay, meaning you can add friends and play together whether you're on PC, mobile (iOS/Android), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, or Xbox. Just ensure everyone is on the latest version of the game and has selected the same server region (North America, Europe, Asia, etc.) to avoid connection issues.
• Child Accounts: If you're a minor, parental consent might be needed to enable the friends list feature. Parents can manage these settings through Innersloth's website.
• Playing with Friends: Once your friends are added, you can easily create a private lobby and invite them to join. This is a great way to guarantee you'll be playing with your chosen crew.
