How do I actually accept a friend request?

I’ve trying to connect with my daughter and every time I send the request following the instructions from this article, the link just brings me right back to this article. That’s it. We’re both on new ios. I’ve tried send from both phones via text and email. I get a picture and a link to this support article but no way to connect.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello Reckless_Recluse,


To start, could you confirm for us if these are the steps that you're following to send the initial Game Center friend request? Per Use Game Center to play with friends - Apple Support:



  1. "Open Settings. Scroll to Game Center, then tap it.
  2. Tap Friends.
  3. Tap Add Friends.
  4. Enter the phone number or email of the person that you want to invite to be friends in Game Center, or tap the Add button  to invite one of your contacts. Once that person accepts the request through the Messages app, you'll be able to see them on your list of friends."


Then the other party should receive the friend request that they can accept through Messages.


Cheers!
