Hey there, @Jaques88. Thank you for reaching out and letting us know the issues that you're facing with adding a friend. Something like that can definitely take all the fun out of your VR experience, and we want to help you get back to gaming with your son. So that we can get to the bottom of your situation, can you tell us the following?

 

When you're attempting to add him, are you getting an error message? If so, can you send us a copy?

Is this the process you're using to add him as a friend?

 

To add someone as a friend in Horizon Worlds:

  1. Look at your wristband and select the Horizon menu.
  2. Select the People tab and find the person you want to add.
  3. Select the Three Dot icon near their name, then select Add Friend

So we don't repeat the troubleshooting you have already done, can you list what you have done so far?

 

We are looking forward to your reply

I've tried using the three dots, I've did rests on occulus,tried Changing mine and his settings making sure those were set correctly still can't add if was something as simple as adding someone I would have but it refuses to even let me see a friend button 

Hiya @Bacon8824, we see you are having issues add friends. We understand how important this is for you, and would love to help you on this matter! To start, we have a couple questions that may help us determine what could be causing this issue:

 

  • Have you migrated your account into a Meta account?
  • Do you have parental supervision enabled on your headset?
  • Is your headset up-to-date?
  • Have you or your friends recently changed your profiles from Public to Private? (or vice-versa)
  • Are you able to send them an Invite to Party?
  • Can you or your friends see each others Activity or Active Status?
  • Have you checked your blocked profiles? 

We hope to hear from you soon!

So I can’t add my friend back on oculus, we unadded each other before. This time she sent me a follow request and I accepted it but it won’t let me send her a follow request back

Hey there, @BigRed7132! We hate to see that you are having problems adding friends to your account. We know how important it is to be able to keep in touch with your friends, and we're happy to look into this issue with you!

 

  • Do any errors come up when you are trying to add someone as a friend? If so, could you please provide a picture or screenshot?
  • Are you trying to add them through the headset, or the mobile app?
  • Are you trying to add 
  • Are other people able to add you as a friend?
  • Have you tried rebooting your headset? 
    • Hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds, then after about 30 seconds, turn the headset back on. 

 

Please provide as much information as you can about what you are experiencing. Once we have more information, we will be able to better assist you!

There is no error when I’m trying to add them, I have tried adding them back on both the headset and mobile phone, I’m trying to add them back. They are able to add me and send me party invites, and I have tried to reboot my headset multiple times

By any chance have you tried to factory reset the headset? Or rebooted the headset? Also, when you are trying to add someone as a friend is it telling you any error on screen?
