Friend request failed, check your spelling. If you’re getting this error message when you’re trying to send a friend request to another Discord user, this indicates they might have blocked you.
What to do if you can’t send friend requests on Discord
Fix 1 – Check your spelling
The error message itself suggests you should check your spelling. Make sure the username or ID is written correctly, especially is users utilize special characters, capital letters, or spaces in their user names.
Or you can go to their profile and send the friend request directly from there.
Fix 2 – Ask users to check their settings
Discord lets users control who can send them friend requests. For example, you can block friend requests from random users, such as people who are not on the same server as you or don’t have any friends in common.
Find another method to contact the respective user if sending them a friend request did not work. Ask them to check their privacy settings and let anyone send them friend requests.
They can then disable that option after they received and accepted your friend request.
Fix 3 – Check if you’ve been blocked
If someone blocked you on Discord, you won’t be able to send them friend requests.
This can be quite confusing for many users. Usually, the person that blocked you doesn’t say why they decided to do that — nor do they let you know you’ve been blocked.
Discord’s policy is to let blocking pretty much go unnoticed by those you have been blocked. This means Discord won’t prevent you from sending friend requests to people that blocked you. It’s just that they won’t receive them.
Hoe to tell if someone blocked you on Discord
Even if someone blocked you on Discord, you can still see their messages. To test if you’re blocked, send an emoji reaction to the messages they sent. If you can’t send the emoji and your screen shakes, this indicates you’re blocked.
Check if the friend request is pending. If there’s nothing there, this means your friend request has not been sent because you’re blocked.
Ask another user who’s on the same server to ask them if they blocked you.
We hope something helped.
