Monopoly Go! is a fun and gratifying game that, like its physical counterpart, Monopoly, is best played with friends. The game has over 10 million downloads on the Google Play Store alone, so there are plenty of players around to befriend if you do not already know anyone who plays the game. Getting friends shouldn’t be tough, though, given that the game can be integrated with your Meta (Facebook) account. However, players have reported that their friends are not showing up in Monopoly Go!‘s friends list.
Monopoly Go! has a friends list, so players can play with their friends, attack their friend’s boards, and more. If people’s friends are not showing up on this list, it defeats the game’s very purpose. Also, players have reported that apparently they are on their friends’ friends list, but their friends are not showing up on theirs. This means their friends can do things like attack their board, but they cannot. This is obviously very frustrating, so keep reading this article until the end to find out if a fix exists in case you are struggling with a similar issue.
Monopoly Go Friends not showing on friends list: How to fix it?
There can be several factors involved that contribute to this issue. So, we have listed out a few workarounds for you to try below.
Re-link your Meta account –
According to u/Kendrick1890, de-linking your Facebook account and phone number from Monopoly Go! and linking them later fixed the issue. Since the friends list in the game pulls people from your Facebook friend list, this does make sense and is worth a try. So, consider doing the same, and then check if the issue persists.
Wait a while –
Sometimes the servers may be down due to routine maintenance, or there may be other issues. Whatever the case, try waiting for some time to relaunch the game and see if the issue is fixed.
Clear cache –
There may be a chance that the cache files have been corrupted. In this case, it might help to clear them. To do so, follow the steps listed below.
iOS –
Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, select the game, and then select ‘Offload App’ to clear the cache.
Android –
Go to Settings > App Management/Manage Apps > Monopoly Go!, and select Storage. There should be an option for clearing cache or clearing data. This will erase your stored data in the game, so you might have to log in again.
Check your internet –
Is your internet lagging? Lag issues may also be a potential source of this error, as the game needs a stable connection to get the friend list data! So, ensure that your internet connection is fast and stable.
Restart your device –
Sometimes your device may cause issues because an error occurred in the memory, for example. This can happen spontaneously simply if the device has been running long enough due to the nature of digital electronics. The simple fix is to restart your device, and then try again.
Check if your game is up to date –
If the error is in the application itself, the developers will probably roll out a hotfix or patch of some kind. So make sure your game is updated to the latest version, and then verify whether the issue persists.
Well, those were some of the workarounds you can try to fix the Monopoly Go! friends not showing on friends list issue. If it is still not fixed, try contacting support and raising a ticket.
