# Finding and adding friends

> How to find MoveTogether friends by username, invite link, or phone contacts, manage incoming friend requests, and control who can send you requests.

## How to add friends

**Search by username.** If you know your friend's MoveTogether username, tap the **Friends** tab, then the search icon. Type their username and send a friend request.

**Share your invite link.** You have a unique invite link. Go to your **Profile** tab, tap **Share Profile** or **Invite Friends**, and send the link through text, email, social media, or any messaging app.

**Invite from contacts.** In the Friends tab, tap **Invite Friends**. MoveTogether can check your phone contacts to see if anyone you know is already on the app. For contacts who aren't, you can send them an invite.

**Friend suggestions.** MoveTogether may suggest people you might know based on mutual friends and contacts.

## Friend requests

When someone sends you a friend request, you get a notification. Go to the Friends tab and tap **Friend Requests** to see what's pending. Tap **Accept** to add them, or **Decline** to dismiss.

## Who can send you friend requests?

You control this in your privacy settings. Go to **Settings → Privacy**, find **Who can send friend requests** under Social Controls, and pick **Everyone**, **Friends of Friends**, or **No One**.

## Removing a friend

Go to the Friends tab, find the person, tap their profile, then tap **Remove Friend** and confirm. Removing a friend doesn't remove them from any active competitions you're both in, but they won't appear in your activity feed or be suggested for future competitions.
