Finding friend requests

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

You can check on the console, the app or the game bar to see if they show up. It might just be some bug. See here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/friends-soc...

Hope this helps

They have changed the friend request system, You use to be able to find someone then send them a message and verify it was them before sending the request. But now all you have is the add voice, and send friend request. Think this came about with the new
dashboard.

Beacons are only seen by people already on your friend list. To make new friends you will need to play more online games and send/recieve friend requests.

[/quote]This. Your best bet for finding new friends on xbox live is to play MP games. If you find someone in a game that you liked playing with, send them a friend request. You could also try making a thread about it as others have done or better yet,
use the search function at the top right to find an existing friends thread and then post in that one.

it keeps saying cannot complete this process and I cant find any setting to do with friend requests.

maybe find someone on your friend list that has it? the devs have to request the forum mods to make one.
