How to Add a Friend on PS4 & Search for Online ID (Best Method)
To add a friend on your PlayStation 4 (PS4) and search for their Online ID on the PlayStation Network (PSN), follow these steps:
Adding a Friend on PS4
Turn On Your PS4 and Sign In: Ensure you’re signed into your PSN account and connected to the internet.
Access the Friends Menu:
From the PS4 home screen, navigate to the Friends icon (a smiley face) in the function menu at the top.
Press X to open the Friends section.
Search for a Friend:
In the Friends menu, select Search for Players.
Enter the exact Online ID (the PSN username) of the friend you want to add. You can also search by their real name if they’ve allowed it in their privacy settings.
Press Search to find their profile.
Send a Friend Request:
Select the player’s profile from the search results.
Choose Add to Friends (or Send Friend Request).
Optionally, include a message with your request (e.g., “Hey, it’s [Your Name]!”).
Press Send to submit the friend request.
Wait for Acceptance:
The other player will receive your friend request and must accept it. Once accepted, they’ll appear in your Friends list, and you can see their online status, join games, or send messages.
Searching for an Online ID
Go to the Friends Menu:
Navigate to Friends from the PS4 home screen.
Use the Search Function:
Select Search for Players.
Type the Online ID or real name (if permitted by their privacy settings) in the search bar.
Press Search to view matching profiles.
