Add Friends Easier Please

I big part of this app is encouragement from others. I’m suggesting a friend request button by all user names. Like a quick add button.

The current process is go to forums, look up users looking for friends, go back to the app, input user name, add. Of course one always has the option to accept….but who doesn’t need more encouragement!!

It took me a while to add a few friends, most dropped in a few weeks out of the app. I see the people that are further along in their journey having to constantly add…and what a pain that process is.

    Alternatively, when you're in the forums
    - tap/click on the username of the person you want to add
    - tap/click on 'view profile' (which takes you to their forum profile)
    - and then on 'MyFitnessPal Profile' which is where you'll find a button to add them as a friend (in the app the icon with three heads, desktop it's a full 'add as friend' button)
