Anyone know why I wouldn't see friends I've added from Apex Legends while using origin on steam? Sorry if that sounds confusing.
@Popa2capsnow I am more confused I think
1. You use Origin to Play apex, and then add a guy who is using steam to Play Apex.
2. You switch to steam, but didn't add their steam account as friends.
@Popa2capsOrigin friends are only visible when they are online(playing the game I mean)

Sorry to confuse you, but I added friends on origin first that use Steam themselves. I just started using Steam over origin and don't see them in my Steams friend lists. If I search their name on Steam, I see a green checkmark that I have them added, but doesn't show anything in my friends list on steam.

So, you added some people on Origin who use steam to play Apex but they don't show up in your steam friend list (not talking about in-game list, right?). Am I getting this right?
Yes, that's right.
I started adding friends in Apex Legends using the Origin app. Some of those players use Steam. I downloaded Steam and don't have any friends I added from origin, but While I'm in Apex Legends people join me like they can directly see me in their list.
Really sorry if this is confusing.
Short way to understand it.
Using Origin, Added steam friends from ingame.
Downloaded Steam, friends added from ingame are not in my friends list.
Side note, if I search for the user I've already added from Steam's friend search, It shows a green checkmark that I do have them added.
@Popa2caps For the record, I have literally zero knowledge on the subject....but could it be something to do with privacy settings at their end? I imagine both steam and origin have them.
@MandatoryIDtag
When you add someone on Steam you see them in a friends list.
@Popa2capsFor clarification-- if I am using steam(or origin) and then I send someone who is also using steam a friend request in-game, it only adds them to my Origin friend list.
They will not show up in my steam friend list, unless I add them through steam client. They will however show up in your Apex friend list in-game IF THEY ARE PLAYING
I have no idea about the green checkmark thing.
@ILostT0Loba
Okay, Yeah that sounds about right. I think people are adding my ea account, so I have to find them again directly on the steam app and add them again.
the Greenheck mark is odd, i'll dig more.
@Chill-Out-Zone
100% you got confused from my post. I'm not at all talking about origin friends. I just talking about steam friends added from origin and not being able to see them in my steam friends list.
