BitLife friends are a great way to expand your social circle, providing you with plenty of companions to hang out with and experience events alongside.

This BitLife friends guide will provide important details, such as how to make friends and improve your relationships with them. If you would like to take things a little more seriously, we'll also examine the best friends mechanics.

What are BitLife friends?

Before making friends in BitLife, let's examine what exactly it is. Yes, you can make friends with NPCs in this simulation and have a good time with them, just like in real life.

Some players may confuse this with romantic relationships, but this is a completely different relationship mechanic. So, there is absolutely no romance in this.

The activities you can do range from nights out to concerts and pretty much any of the game's pastimes.

Aside from that, BitLife friends don't have any special utility or unlock any new opportunities elsewhere. Instead, they're just good to have around for spontaneous invites to events or just to pad out your friends list and make your character a bit more popular.

How do I make friends in BitLife

The opportunity to make friends will constantly emerge during your BitLife experience. Here's how you can make friends in BitLife.

  • Prospective friends will often come up to you and ask if you want to be buddies, at which point you can accept or reject
    • Many of these scenarios emerge during school and college, where classmates will ask if you want to be friends
  • You can also approach people yourself and request their friendship by browsing through your school class or work office members and hitting the Befriend button
    • You can reach school class or work office members under the school or work activities tab. If they like you, then you'll have a new friend. If not, you'll have an egg on your face
  • If you don't spend enough time with your friends, they may try to unfriend you
    • In that scenario, you have three options: let them go, beg for them to stay, or insult them as they leave
      • Be careful, though, because being harsh may result in them becoming your enemy

BitLife best friends explained

If you want to take your friendship one step further, you can become best friends with someone in BitLife.

Note that you can only be best friends with one person at once, and if you already have one and change it, you may lose the friendship with your former BFF.

What are the perks of BitLife friends?

Being friends with someone on BitLife doesn't have too many alternate perks. All it means is that the likelihood of that person asking to hang out is increased.

That said, hanging out with your friends will increase your relationship with them, which may have a positive impact on your happiness in the simulation.
