Tips

Do you want to add new friends on Discord? You can easily send a friend request to any user if you know their username. As soon as they accept the request, they'll be added to your friend list. You can use the Discord desktop app, website, or mobile app to add friends. This wikiHow will show you how to add friends on Discord using Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, & iPad.

Things You Should Know

On a computer, click the "Friends" tab, select "Add Friend," enter the person's username, and click "Send Friend Request."
On mobile, swipe right to the menu, tap the person waving icon, tap the person+ icon, enter a username, and tap "Send Friend Request."
While Discord Tags (the ones that ended with numbers like #1234) were case-sensitive, you can enter new Discord usernames in any case.^{[1]

Open the Discord app. Discord is available for iOS in the App Store and for Android in the Google Play Store.

Tap the "Friends" icon. This looks like a person waving.

This looks like a person with a "+" at the top-right corner.

Enter the person's username. Tap the field under "ADD VIA USERNAME", then enter your friend's username.
- Unlike Discord Tags, which were case-sensitive, Discord's new usernames are not case-sensitive.
- If the person you're adding hasn't converted their older Discord Tag that ended with a number (e.g., test#0000), enter the tag with the proper capitalization.
- You can also tap Find your friends to search via synced contacts or Nearby scan to search for friends using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Tap Send Friend Request. This is the purple-blue button below the username field.
- When the user accepts, you can find them in your friend list by clicking All. Otherwise, you'll see your request in the Pending tab.

- Join a server and swipe left to the Members page. You may need to do this twice.

Is there a way to find someone's code without knowing their tag?

No, there is no way to do that. You have to get name and tag.

If you see a message that says "Hm, didn't work" when trying to add a friend, make sure you've spelled their username correctly. You also may see this error if the person has blocked you.
