To invite friends on Fortnite mobile, use the in-game social panel to send party invitations directly from your friends list. Cross-platform parties are handled through this panel, not the old Party Hub, which was removed in a September 2019 update and replaced by the newer Epic Parties feature for cross-ecosystem party and voice chat.
How to invite friends on Fortnite Mobile
Start by creating a new party as the party leader or joining an existing one. To create a party, open Fortnite Mobile and tap the "Party Royale" icon located at the top-right corner of the screen. You can customize the party name and set your party's privacy settings. To join a party, accept an invitation from a friend or enter the party name they provide. The player who starts the party is the party leader and can promote someone else by selecting their name in the Party Members list and choosing "Promote." A party can have up to 16 players, suitable for modes with Large Party Support like Creative mode and Team Rumble.
Access your friends list
Tap the Friends icon to open your friends list. Here you will see which friends are online and available across all platforms, including PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Fortnite supports cross-platform play, allowing mobile players to play with friends on any of these platforms.
Send game invitations
- From your friends list, tap the desired friend's name.
- Select the menu option for "Invite to Party."
- A notification will be sent to your friend, prompting them to join your game.
You can send invitations to multiple friends at once by selecting multiple names. If your friends are not currently online, you can still send them an invitation and they will receive it when they log in. Your friend will receive the invitation on their device and can accept or decline it.
Accept and join invitations
When you receive an invitation, accept it by tapping the notification or going to the Invitations tab in the main menu. Once accepted, you will join the party leader's lobby. Party leaders can set their party to "Public," "Friends Only," or the invite-only "Private" to control who can join. If you are already in a game or unable to join, you can decline the invitation or save it for later.
