How To Play Identity V With Friends

Identity V is a lot more fun with friends; like Dead by Daylight, it's a 4v1 game, after all, making it the perfect party game to play as you team up with your buds. You can make some strong strategic moves as a team to help you decode Ciphers, allowing you to win more often and take advantage of one another's persona builds as you face off against the hunter.

In this guide, you will find out how to add friends in Identity V and play with them.

How To Add Friends In Identity V

Before you play with your friends in Identity V, you'll need to add them to your friends list. Adding your friends to your friends list allows you to add them to your party and chat with them.

The first step is to open up Identity V and head to the home screen. From there, just tap the 'Add Friend' button at the top right. You'll then be taken to another screen featuring several different options, including Profile, Add Friends, and more.

The next 'Add Friends' button should be available on the middle left of the screen. Just tap it, and you'll be taken to a screen where you can search for your friends. You can do this via either their in-game username or digital ID; just type either one of those in the box and then click the 'Add' button.

To play with a friend after sending them a friend request, you'll need to wait for them to accept it on their end, which they can do with the simple tap of a button so long as they've completed the game's tutorial. You can then contact your friends by sending them messages or inviting them to play.

How To Enable Friends On Identity V

Are you asking, "Why can't I add friends on Identity V?" While the process of adding a new friend is relatively simple, some beginners find that the 'Add Friend' button is not available to them on their home screen. Thankfully, there are a few simple fixes to this problem that will resolve it for most players.

1. Complete the tutorial and all quests - You'll need to complete the tutorial before you're able to add friends, including all the 18 quests within it.
2. Reach level 5 - Players will need to reach at least level 5 before they're able to send or accept friend requests.
3. Turn off 'Decline Friend Requests' - If friends aren't able to add you on Identity V, you might have incoming friend requests turned off in Settings. To resolve this problem, go to your Settings and toggle 'Decline Friend Requests' to 'off.'

If you still aren't able to add your friends, it's possible that Identity V servers could be down, so try waiting a little while. As a last resort, you can contact NetEase directly and report the issue as a bug.

Now you know how to add friends in Identity V and what to do if you're running into issues with playing with others in this game.
