※To use the friend feature, you need to be Hunter Rank 6 or above.
Each hunter has a unique 12-digit friend code and a corresponding QR code. Use this code to add other hunters as your friend. Adding friends will enable you to see your friend's information. Also, your friend(s) will see some information about you, including your Hunter Rank.
Visit the FAQ "Information shared with others" to learn more about the information you share with your friend.
If you have friends who are playing Monster Hunter Now in other Niantic apps, they will also appear in your friend list in Monster Hunter Now. Niantic's friend list allows you to have a maximum of 650 friends, including friends from other Niantic apps.
If you have reached the maximum limit of friends, you will need to remove friends before adding new ones. However, please be aware that if you remove a friend from one Niantic game, they will also be removed from your friends' list in other Niantic games.
Please note that the names of friends may appear differently between other Niantic apps and Monster Hunter Now.
You can choose to accept or reject friend requests in your friend list. If a friend request is accepted or if someone you sent a friend request to sends you one, you will become mutual friends, and you'll be able to see each other's profiles in the friend list.
Friend requests are valid for 7 days after they are sent.
