How friending works in Among Us
Among Us uses a Friends List tied to unique Friend Codes. Use the code and friend-request feature to connect with someone so you can find or invite that player again. Innersloth introduced the Friends List as a free update available on all platforms. Innersloth’s Friends List announcement describes the feature and its capabilities.

A Friend Code is for a Friends List connection; a lobby invitation is for inviting someone to a particular lobby. They serve different purposes. Innersloth lists both features but does not document a current step-by-step workflow for either in the announcement.

Friend codes, privacy, and child accounts
Innersloth says players can show or hide their Friend Code, noting that hiding it can be useful while streaming. Share your code directly with the person you want to add; avoid displaying it publicly if you do not want other viewers to use it. The announcement says child accounts need additional parent or guardian permissions to access the Friends List. Innersloth’s FAQ explains generally that account-dependent features may be limited when a player is not logged in or lacks parental permission, but it does not spell out the current friend-feature permission steps.

Make sure Among Us is up to date. Innersloth’s v17.0.1 patch notes, dated October 14, 2025, say an issue with sending and receiving friend requests was fixed in that update. This is a version-specific fix, not a guarantee about every later build. Read the v17.0.1 notes.

In the v17.0.0 announcement, Innersloth also noted a Friends List display issue where adding someone could show the player’s own name instead of the friend’s. That note applies to that version and should not be taken as evidence that the issue affects current builds. See the v17.0.0 announcement.
