friend request
Social media overture
A friend request is a notification sent through a social media platform asking someone to connect as friends, granting mutual access to profiles and posts: I got a friend request from someone I went to high school with.
Accepting or ignoring friend requests has become a minor social ritual, with rejected requests sometimes causing awkwardness.
The verb phrase is to send or accept a friend request, though some use friend request as a verb: She friend-requested me last night.
