Niantic Apps Friends
If someone you’re friends with in another Niantic app is playing Monster Hunter Now, they’ll appear in your friend list here as well. You can have up to 650 friends, including those from other Niantic apps.
*Note: If you remove a friend from one Niantic game, they will be removed from all other Niantic games as well.
*Note: Friend names may differ between other Niantic apps and Monster Hunter Now.
When you add a friend, if both of you are playing other Niantic games, you will also be added as friends in those games.
Friend requests remain valid for 7 days after being sent. You become friends once the other person accepts the request. Additionally, if both of you send friend requests to each other, you will automatically become friends.
*Note: In the Friends List, you can accept or decline received requests.
