Hello!

Social Hub is the feature that allows players to add friends. If it's missing it's not possible to add friends through the game I'm afraid 😔

The only option that should be able to bypass it is adding friends through Facebook.

If you save your progress with a Facebook account then you can already add Soda players as your friends on Facebook platform (check out Soda FB groups).

If you save your progress with a King game account then you would need to link it to a Facebook account. If you only play Soda on a mobile device it's okay but you would need access to a computer/laptop to set up the synchronization between King game account and Facebook account which cannot be done on mobile devices. Once that is completed, you can add Soda players on FB platform and carry on playing Soda with a King game account on any device. FB friends should automatically appear in the game.

Hope it helps

Unfortunately, the social hub icon does not show up.  What would be your next thought?

Hello @Krisper and welcome to Soda community

Here's how to add friends. Is Social Hub icon available in your game?

With Social Hub we have two options to add friends

* Retrieve the invite link from Soda app and share it our contacts. We can also copy and paste it everywhere we want to share it. In this forum we have this discussion were we share (paste) our invite link so other users can click on it and add us

* send invites to players we meet in Soda events (Soda Team, 4 in a row, weekly contest, Kimmy's Candy Hunt, Shipmates, Soda Cup etc). Simply click on their avatar pictures and select "add friend". more infos here

How to exchange lives:

* We can ask for/send lives to our friends and teammates: tap on Lives (Red Heart) icon and visit "get help" section. Here we can ask for lives to many friends at once and also grant many lives requests at once
* We can ask for/send lives to teammates in Teams feature: tap on Teams icon and tap on "ask" button to ask for your lives and grant your teammates' requests that may appear in chat
* We can also send lives to friends individually: visit friends list in Social Hub, tap on friend's avatar picture and tap on "send" button
