I can't find my friend in APEX Gifts

We became friends on steam and apex long time ago, and both are over lv10 and login vertifed. But it still cannot send gifts to each other. Why?

Hey @Bosu_freelo

You can find a great guide on how Gifting works in Apex Legends in our Help Article:

How to send gifts in Apex Legends

A few reasons why you may not see your friend or may not be able to send them a gift are:

You added the person as a friend in-game,

Be friends with them in-game for at least two weeks - platform friendships don’t count,

have sent no more than five gifts in the past 24 hours,

Thanks, and hope this helps!

I didn’t know that in game friendships were even a thing til now. I always figured that when you go to your friends tab and see everyone labeled “Friend”, that meant they were your friend. That’s so lame because now with the new event centered around gifting to get a reactive skin, we’re just gonna have to miss out :/

Same. I see all my friends in-game on a friend list but when I try to gift I see some random people ... so bad.

I am also having this problem with my significant other, I'm attempting to gift him the battlepass. Thus far it doesn't show ANYONE on my friends list for gifting just random people. Super broken...

The "accepted solution" doesn't solve anything. I can't send anything to people i've been friends with on Steam for years, i don't even see those in the list of eligible recipients. How can i complete a challenge that is literally impossible to complete?

@EA_Illium If you're already friends on consoles for extensive time. Apex should then accept the ingame friend link instantaneously and not need a 2week wa8t as you have already been connected accounts that apex should be able to see - ***especially if you've already dropped into games with those friends IN APEX.***

I can't even see how to add a friend in apex who is already a friend. So weird.

Definitely the worst part of anniversary challenges or whatever its called. I didn't realize the stupid required wanted a "in game" friend, only seen this offer pop up when somebody i'm playing with isn't on PlayStation, yet my actual playstation friends are voided -_-

I’ve tried everything all their little troubleshooting issues it doesn’t work. I’ve been friends with my brother and my other friends online and on Apex for over a year they cannot find me when it comes to gifting, so looks like I can’t do the challenge I won’t get the flatline skin Apex you cankick rocks
