How do I add someone to my EA account?
To add someone to your EA account, you can launch the EA app, hover over your avatar in the top right corner to pull up your Friend List, click Add friend, and then search for your friends by their Public ID (that’s their EA Account ID), their real name, or their email address. You can also find or import your friends by clicking Find friends to search for people using their display name, EA ID, real name, or email address, and a list will come up with the search results.
