Apple Arcade Friend Invites

Apparently there is no way to invite other Apple Arcade players to be ‘friends’ if they are not in my Contacts or if I don’t know their phone numbers or email addresses. Correct? If so, then how do I invite a player I’ve come into contact with ONLY through Apple Arcade as a ‘friend’? It’s not like this is innovative new game tech. I think the ability to connect with other players through a cloud based, online gaming platform has been around since FDR was president! Perhaps I’ve overstated my case, but you get the point. So, what’s the deal?

Hi there BigTechUser,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you’re inquiring about adding friends in Game Center to play Apple Arcade games with. We’d be happy to help.


Check out: Use Game Center to play with friends


You are correct though, to add a friend in Game Center, you would need to “Enter the phone number or email of the person that you want to invite to be friends in Game Center, or you can tap the Add button to invite one of your contacts.”


Our suggestion would be to submit Product Feedback for this feature.


Have a wonderful day!
