Re: I can't find my friend in APEX Gifts

Hey @Bosu_freelo 

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

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

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...

    @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 can't send gifts even though we're friends in-game.
    Friends are not displayed when sending gifts.
    That friend has been registered for over a year.

    The mission is impossible to accomplish.

    @EA_Illium Is there a way around this? I have been friends with them on Steam for YEARS and yet I needed to be "different" friends with them, while being oblivious of that fact because nothing denotes "EA" friends vs "Steam" friends. Sucks that we're going to miss out on cool stuff because of this oversight.

    @EA_Illium I added my Friend more then 2 Weaks ago in-game, I still have gifts to send and I can't see him to gift him. The only thing that is not 2 weeks old is the friendship on EA. We added us today and because we thought its because of that but it didn't worked. We can't see us. Maybe the 2 weeks are a thing for EA Friends if you play over steam?

    @EA_Illium I'm gonna miss out on the Loba skin because people with whom I've been friends on Steam for over two weeks CAN'T EVEN SEE ME in the gifting page list, NOR CAN I SEE THEM. All I see is either people that I know who no longer play Apex, or random people that I don't even remember adding!

    The only "problem" being what, that we didn't add each other while playing the game EXCLUSIVELY through your own little EA app? I prefer playing through Steam instead because it's much better.

    Damn shame 'cause I've sent out so many gifts to other people during this event, but never received anything back!

    Kick rocks, EA. This goes to show how much you "care" about your players.

    Illium, how was your reply here in this topic (which makes little to no sense) even accepted as solution? Can you spell D-E-L-U-S-I-O-N-A-L? Some "community manager" you are-- bunch of liars.
