Friends

Friends area overview

The friends section has three views:

  • My Friends
  • Find Friends
  • Friend Requests

Find Friends

Find Friends shows eligible student accounts in your school and lets you send requests.

Eligibility in search results:

  • Students with real accounts (not unclaimed invitation placeholders)
  • Students who are pending onboarding or already completed onboarding

Friend requests

You can:

  • Send a request
  • Cancel a sent request
  • Accept or reject incoming requests

My Friends

In My Friends you can:

  • View accepted friends
  • Remove a friend
  • Open a friend’s schedule view

Friend profile photos

Friend search and friend views use profile photos with the following priority:

  1. Clerk profile image (when available)
  2. Stored profile image fallback
  3. School/default avatar fallback

Troubleshooting

If a friend is missing from search:

  • Verify they have finished account creation
  • Verify both of you are in the same school
  • Refresh after they complete onboarding actions
