Go to the map. At the very top center you will see your profile photo. Click on that. There you are given the option to see your friends. Click on a friends name and you can both request and send a life to that person. Most people when they get a life along with a request will reply. If you find those never do reply simply Unfriend them on the same page. It took me a while to figure this out!
Hello @RobynGerner please don't delete any of your friends whose profile says 'coming soon' as it is not their fault. King is testing something called a Player Card and one result of this is that people that aren't part of the test can't receive lives from people that are in the test. Once the test is over hopefully you will be able to send lives to all of your friends again.
