Editing Friend

'''Friends''' are other {{pb}} users who the player has added to their friend list. Friends can send [[postcard]]s and partake in [[weekly challenge]]s with each other, along with seeing a simplified version of their [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Profile|profile]]. In various areas throughout the game where the player can view their friend's [[Mii]] or profile, such as during [[mushroom battle]]s or [[Party Walk]]s, a green face icon will appear next to them, signifying that they are on the player's friend list. The maximum number of friends a player can have is 450.

* Their [[Mii]].

* A few [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in their [[Squad#In Pikmin Bloom|squad]].

* Their nickname and [[level]].

* Their account ID.

* Three of their most recently earned [[Badge (Pikmin Bloom)|badges]] along with their total number of badges. Community Day badges do not appear here.

* Their total number of steps since they started playing the game.

* The date that they were added as a friend.

There are also buttons to change the nickname of that friend, and send a [[postcard]] or a [[Shop#Gift bundles|Gift Bundle]] from the [[shop]] to that friend. In the top right of their profile, there is a menu that allows the player to remove that friend, as well as another way to change their nickname. A search bar also exists on the top of the screen that allows the player to search for a specific friend along with a filter. The filter's options are as follows:

In the top right of the friend list, is a button labelled "Add friend". This menu allows the player to add new friends using either their numerical code or by a {{w|QR code}} representing that numerical code. The menu consists of 2 boxes, one with the player's friend code and one with the input box to add a new friend.

The top box has the QR code and a set of 12 digits, which can be copied with the button to the right of the code. Both codes can be refreshed using the other button to the right of the numerical code. At the bottom of the box is a button that allows the player to share their codes with other people. This send them a message which reads "''Let's play Pikmin Bloom together! My friend code is: [Friend Code]''" along with a photo with both types of code.

The bottom box is where the codes are entered. The numerical code can be typed into the input box, and the QR code can be scanned using the player's camera after tapping the button labelled 'Scan QR code'. Sending a nonexistent code will result in an error notifying the player that there is no such user.

Next to the "Add friend" button is the "Invite" button. This menu allows the player to invite a friend to play ''Pikmin Bloom'' and receive a reward if they join and use the player's invite code.

At the top of the menu is a button titled "Find your friends" which opens up a menu showing friends the player has from other Niantic games. Clicking invite in this menu sends them an invite email, and this can only be done if the friend who was invited did not start playing ''Pikmin Bloom'', or if 30 days have passed without them starting to play. This menu only appears if the player's account linked to ''Pikmin Bloom'' is linked to other Niantic games.

[[Postcard]]s can be sent between friends. This is done from the postcard menu after tapping the postcard button in the profile of the friend the player wants to send one to. They then have the ability to choose any of their postcards that have been collected (except for other postcards the player has obtained from their friends), along with which Pikmin will take it to them. Unlike [[expedition]]s, the Pikmin chosen will not have to cover the whole distance between the player and their friend's location, but instead will take exactly 12 hours to deliver the postcard. The player's Pikmin will return when the postcard is collected from the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Garden|garden]], or if they do not collect it after 3 days.

Once the player taps send, the postcard will be rolled up, tied with a red ribbon, and the player's chosen Pikmin will hold it. A small animation then plays of the player's [[Mii]] and all the Pikmin in their [[Squad#In Pikmin Bloom|squad]] waving to the departing Pikmin, which quickly speeds away after waving back.
