Step 3: Select “Add Friends.”
Once you have accessed the “Community” tab, select “Add Friends.” This option is located in between two icons which look like a smiley face and an envelope.

either they have deleted their account recently, or they do not play this game anymore. Sometimes an existing user might also switch to an entirely new avatar name.

If your friend doesn’t have their account anymore, they can always make a new one and start this game afresh with their own avatar name.
