iOS: Find Friends

Updated 3 days ago by Jillian Galley

The Bible reminds us again and again that we need relationships with people we can trust. You need close friends who’ll encourage, inspire, challenge, love, and pray for you. And they need you to do the same for them.

Add Friends

You can have up to 250 friends in the YouVersion Bible App.
  1. Select the Home tab on the bottom menu, then Community (top left).
  2. If you have any Friend Requests:
    1. Select Accept on the ones you want to be friends with.
    2. Select Ignore on the ones you don’t want to accept (your friends won’t know or be told that their request was declined until they search your name again).
  3. Top Right: select +Add Friends. The Add Friends screen gives you five ways to add new Friends:
    1. Select a name or email. Type a friend’s YouVersion account-associated email address, and search for it.
    2. Select Connect Contacts to add Friends from your phone contacts. Ensure their contact includes the email address associated with their YouVersion account, not just a phone number.
      1. Select Add next to any friends you want to join in the Bible App.
      2. They’ll see your request in their Friend Requests.
    3. Select Add Facebook Friends. Ensure they have their Facebook account linked to their YouVersion account or have their Facebook email address associated with their YouVersion account.
      If it’s the first time, you’ll be prompted to sign in on Facebook on the web. You can select a name and view their profile to make sure you’re sending your request to the correct person.
    4. Add friends from People You May Know.
      1. Select Add next to any friends you want to join in the Bible App (only contacts that have a YouVersion account will appear).
You can also find and add friends by selecting More > Friends.
