How do I add friends?

Hi, I'm hoping to add some people as friends here on MFP, anyone using the app looking for accountability and motivation.......but I can't find the "Add Friend" button.....

There's an option to add friends from my phone contacts but I don't want to do that, I'm looking to add MFP users not my own family/friends from my phone contacts list.

Can someone please take pity on my app tech ignorance and send me step by step instructions on how to send a friend request to people I see chatting on the community discussions?

Thanks 🥳

    Hey there :) What worked for me is just adding them by username - open app > more > friends > "+" , on my app there's an option below contacts called 'email or MyFitnessPal Username' ...
