How to add someone as a friend on Thisvid

To add a friend on Thisvid, find their profile by searching their username in the site's search bar or by clicking their name when you see a comment or video they posted. Once you are on their profile page, look for an "Add Friend" button — it usually appears near the top of their profile, often next to or near their username. Click that button, and the friend request goes to them. They will see it in their notifications and can accept or decline.

The person you send a request to does not have to accept it right away. They may review your profile first to decide whether they want to connect. Once they accept, you both appear in each other's friend lists and can message each other more easily through the platform's messaging system.

Key Takeaways

  • Search for a user by their username or click their name from a comment or video to reach their profile page.
  • The "Add Friend" button on their profile sends them a request that they must accept before you are connected.
  • Once someone accepts your request, you can message them directly through Thisvid's messaging feature.
  • You can remove friends from your list at any time by visiting your friends section and selecting the remove option.
  • Your friend list is visible to other users unless you adjust your privacy settings to make it private.

Finding users to add as friends

The easiest way to find someone on Thisvid is to use the search function at the top of the page. Type their username exactly as they have it set up — usernames are case-sensitive on some platforms, so if a search does not return results, try variations. If you know them from another platform or have their profile link, you can paste that link directly into your browser to go straight to their page.

You can also find users through their activity on the site. When someone comments on a video or uploads content, their username appears as a clickable link. Clicking their name takes you to their profile, where you can then send a friend request. This is useful if you want to connect with people who share your interests based on the videos they watch or comment on.

What happens after you send a friend request

When you click "Add Friend," Thisvid sends a notification to that person. They will see your request in their notifications section, usually with a preview of your profile picture and username. They can then choose to accept, decline, or ignore the request. There is no time limit — they can respond when ready or weeks later.

If they accept, you both become friends and can see each other in your friend lists. If they decline, the request disappears and you cannot send another one right away on most platforms — you would typically need to wait or they would need to add you first. If they ignore it, the request may expire after a certain period, though this varies by platform settings.

Managing your friend list and privacy

Once you have added friends, you can view your complete friend list by going to your profile and selecting the friends section. From there, you can remove anyone by clicking a remove or unfriend button next to their name. Removing someone is when ready — they will not receive a notification, but they will no longer see you in their friend list.

Your friend list is visible to other users by default on most social platforms, meaning anyone visiting your profile can see who you are connected with. If you want to keep your friends private, check your privacy settings. Many platforms let you make your friend list visible only to friends, only to yourself, or hidden from everyone. These settings are usually found in your account or privacy preferences section.

Using the messaging feature with friends

After someone accepts your friend request, you can send them direct messages through Thisvid's messaging system. Look for a messages or inbox icon in your account menu — this is usually at the top right of the page or in a sidebar. Click it to start a new conversation or view existing ones.

Messages between friends are typically private and visible only to you and the recipient. Keep in mind that anything you send can be screenshotted or saved by the other person, so avoid sharing sensitive information like passwords or financial details. If someone sends you unwanted messages, most platforms let you block them, which prevents them from messaging you or seeing your profile.

Blocking and reporting users

If someone is harassing you or you straightforward do not want contact with them, you can block them from your profile or from a conversation. Blocking prevents that person from messaging you, seeing your profile, or interacting with your content. They will not receive a notification that you blocked them, but they will notice they cannot find your profile or message you.

If a user is violating Thisvid's terms of service — such as posting illegal content, harassing multiple people, or impersonating someone — you can report them. Look for a report button on their profile or in a conversation. Reporting sends information to Thisvid's moderation team, who will review the account and take action if the violation is confirmed. Reports are handled confidentially.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone add me as a friend without my permission?

No. They must send you a friend request, and you must accept it before you are connected. You can decline requests without explanation, and declining does not notify the person in most cases — they straightforward will not appear in your friends list.

What if I accidentally removed someone as a friend?

You can add them again by searching for their profile and clicking "Add Friend" once more. They will receive a new friend request, and you will need to wait for them to accept it again. There is no undo button for removing friends.

Can I see who viewed my profile?

Thisvid does not show you a list of who has viewed your profile. You can only see activity like comments, messages, and friend requests. Some platforms offer this as a premium feature, but it is not standard on most social video sites.

What does it mean if someone's profile says "friend request pending"?

It means you sent them a friend request and they have not yet accepted or declined it. The request is sitting in their notifications waiting for their response. You cannot send another request until they respond to the first one.
