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 How.com.vn will show you how to add friends on Discord using Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, & iPad.

- 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.
