Adding friends on your PS4 makes it easy to stay connected with people you care about.
After adding a friend, you can see their status and what games they're playing. You can also quickly and easily message them.
And since that person automatically follows you in return, they can stay on top of your activities, too.

How to add friends on your PS4
1. Using the PS4 controller, select "Friends."
2. Select "Search" on the left side of the screen.
3. Look for the person you want to add by entering their PlayStation ID if you know it, or you can search using their real name. You'll see a list of names appear on the screen.
4. To see more about a person, select their name to see details about their profile and activity. Then select the friend request button at the top left of their profile page. Or, if you prefer, you can immediately send a friend request by selecting the smiley face/plus sign button to the right of the person you want to add.
5. On the Send Friend Request screen, enter a personal message so they know who you are, and then select "Send."
6. You may also receive friend requests. To check, select "Friend Requests" at the bottom right of the Friends page. Select "Accept" to add that friend to your Friends List.
