Re: Why does it take 24 hours for friends to show in simcity?

My friends have always showed up right away.  Make sure that you're logged into facebook and Game Center.  You can find Game Center in your device settings but the game should log you in automatically when you click the button.  Same with facebook.  You can find that in the Sim City game settings in the top left corner of the game.  If you're logged into both of these,  your friends should appear right away.
