How to Add Friends by Username or Link
Search and Send
Open the Friends section in Rabbit and choose Search Username. Type the exact handle your friend shared, then tap Add Friend. You can also copy a personal invite link from your profile and paste it into the field for quick sharing.
Track Responses
After you send a request, it appears under Pending. Once the other person accepts, you see them move to Active Friends. Both desktop web and mobile app show the same status so you can follow up if needed.
Sync Your Phone Contacts
Enable Permissions
On first use, Rabbit asks to access your contacts. Allow this in mobile settings so the app can match phone numbers with Rabbit accounts. Always review which contacts are uploaded to respect your privacy.
Match and Review
Once synced, Rabbit highlights matches and suggests them in the Discover area. You can choose to follow all, skip some, or reconnect later. Keep your phone contact list updated to find new friends automatically.
Join Rooms to Meet New People
Interest-Based Discovery
Browse active rooms by topic, language, or game type. Jump into a room, speak naturally, and invite interesting listeners to your friends list. Shared moments in voice rooms make adding friends feel organic and low-pressure.
Host and Attract
Create your own room around a favorite hobby or schedule. Consistent hosts grow a regular crowd who are more likely to accept friend requests after multiple positive experiences together.
Connect Through Social and QR Options
Link External Accounts
Connect Twitter, Instagram, or other profiles in settings. Followers who also use Rabbit can be imported and suggested, helping you move existing social graphs into Rabbit quickly.

Show your Rabbit QR code at events or stream overlays. Others scan it with their phone to send a friend request, turning IRL moments into lasting Rabbit connections.

FAQ
Reader questions
Why are some users not showing up after I sync contacts?
They may not have a Rabbit account, have disabled contact visibility, or use a different email. Ask them to confirm their username or create an account to appear in suggestions.
Can I add friends without allowing contact access?
Yes. You can still search by username, join public rooms, meet through recommendations, and accept invites sent directly to your email or social media.
What should I do if my friend request keeps showing pending?
Check your notification permissions, ensure their email or device notifications are enabled, and confirm they have not set their profile to no requests from non-matches.
Is there a limit to how many friends I can have on Rabbit?
Rabbit supports a large friends network with active rooms and direct messages. Manage groups by custom labels and prioritize frequent connections in your feed.
