How to Add Friends in Family Island and Get Free Rewards (Beginner Guide)
Sure, you can play Family Island completely alone, but when you add friends, you’ll get a whole lot more possibilities which I’ll discover later in this post.
So, in this guide, I will show you how to add friends in Family Island, the rewards you can earn, and how to fix the problems you can face.
Let’s dive in.
Why You Should Add Friends in Family Island
In fact, having friends in Family Island doesn’t mean you can visit their island or gift them energy.
But adding friends is still useful in several ways:
- Earn free rewards: when you invite friends to play the game, you earn valuable items like free energy, rubies, time spheres, and keys.
- Trade cards: you can trade your duplicated cards with friends to complete your sets and albums faster, which means you’ll earn more rewards.
- Join Tribe: you can create a Tribe (Clan) and invite your friends to join it, so you can chat with them, share strategies, and enjoy playing the game together.
In other words: friends will help you level up faster and enjoy the game more.
How to Add Friends in Family Island
You have to reach level 4 to unlock the friends feature, then you can add your friends in two ways:
1. Invite friends with a link
First, tap the menu (three lines) at the top right corner of your screen and tap the friend & gift icon.
Next, tap the green “Invite” button on the pop‑up.
Then, share your invite link with friends, so they can join and start playing.
You and your friends will get 100 energy and one more reward. But they have to reach “Family House” tier 2 or no one will get the rewards.
2. Add friends through Facebook
When you connect your Family Island account to Facebook, any FB friends who also play the game will automatically appear in your friend list. Also, you can trade cards only with friends who connected the game with Facebook.
Plus, when you connect Family Island to Facebook, you can save your progress and recover your account when you change your phone.
So connecting to Facebook is important. And if you haven’t connected it yet, here’s how:
First, open the menu and tap the gear icon to open settings.
Next, tap “My accounts” on the pop‑up.
Then, tap on the blue “Connect” button.
Finally, log in to your Facebook account, and grant the required permissions.
That’s it.
Family Island Invite Rewards
You’ll get a reward for every friend who downloads the game using your invite link. And as you bring more players, the rewards will become better.
That said, here are the prizes you can earn for inviting friends:

Conclusion
Adding friends in Family Island might not work the same way as other games, and honestly, you don’t need friends to play Family Island. But you’ll miss out on easy rewards that will help you build your island faster.
So if you haven’t added friends yet, now’s a good time to do it. Head to the game and start sending invites, then claim those incredible rewards.

FAQs
Why didn’t I get a reward after inviting a friend in Family Island?
You only get a reward if your friend is completely new to the game, uses your invite link, and reaches “Family House” tier 2 . If they skip any step, it won’t count. Also, rewards only apply to the first 50 successful invites so if you’ve added more than that, you won’t earn anything.
Can I send energy or other resources to my friends?
No, you can’t send energy, rubies, or any other resources to friends in Family Island. The only thing you can share is duplicate cards through the card trading feature, and that only works if you’re both connected through Facebook.
Can I remove friends from Family Island?
You can’t remove friends directly in the game. But if the friend was added through Facebook, then you can unfriend them on Facebook to remove them from your Family Island friend list.
