Steps to adding friends on Houseparty

While you were making your Houseparty account, you were asked to enter your phone number.

But, if you didn’t, don’t worry, you can still do that, just follow these steps below:

So, you will need to open up the Houseparty application first. When the Home screen of the app loads, you will need to find the + button that should be located in the top right corner of your screen.
