Friend Requests with Built-in Conversation First

Hi 👋

I’d like to share an idea that could improve the friend request experience and make interactions more genuine.

What if, when clicking “Add Friend”, the message dialog opened automatically by default?
This would encourage users to introduce themselves and start a conversation before sending a request, instead of sending silent or random friend requests.

The goal isn’t to restrict the feature, but to make connections more meaningful and community-friendly.

Just a suggestion — I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether this could be implemented and how complex it would be from a development perspective.

Thanks 🙏

Hi again 👋

Just a quick follow-up regarding the idea I shared about improving the friend request experience.

The suggestion was to automatically open the message dialog when someone clicks “Add Friend”, encouraging users to introduce themselves before sending a request.

The goal is simply to promote more genuine interactions and avoid silent friend requests.

I’d be curious to know your thoughts on this, and whether it would be technically feasible to implement.

Thanks again for your time 🙏
