A friend request (also known as FR) can be sent from one user to another, allowing the users to become friends if the recipient accepts the request.

Function

Sending Friend Requests

Friend requests can be sent using the Add Friend button on a profile. Additionally, if both players are in the same game server, friend requests can be sent using the player list or the escape menu.

Receiving Friend Requests

Incoming friend requests can be accepted or declined on the friends page of the Roblox website. Additionally, if a friend request was sent in-game, the recipient will receive an in-game notification that will allow them to accept or deny the request without going to the website. If a friend request is accepted, both users will become friends and a message will be sent to the user who sent the friend request to notify them that the request was accepted.

Bugs

• In 2012, there was a bug that allowed users to become friends with other users without sending a request.
• In December 2015, a bug was introduced that prevented users from sending friend requests. This bug was fixed in February 2016.
• In February 2016, a bug was introduced that allowed guests to send friend requests. This bug was fixed by mid 2016.

Criticism

In games that lock the camera in first person, this can be particularly distracting as there is no way to deny the incoming friend request notifications without blocking the offending user.
