Fortnite switch: friend request issue

Hello, same problem. I found the solution, you need to go to parental controls, enter your PIN code. The parental control settings will open. Set "accept friend requests" with the code => YES. Go back to friend requests, accept, enter the code (same as parental PIN code).

Good evening,

I'm in the same situation. I tried your workaround, but nothing works. I even disabled parental controls, but it didn't change anything.

If anyone has a solution, I'm all ears.

Thank you

Hello,

You need to go to "parental agreement" and enter the associated PIN code again. Entering a valid PIN code solved my issue.
If you no longer remember your PIN code, you can reset it from your child's account on the EPIC GAMES website.

Good evening,

I have the solution, I can once again accept friend requests ????

I feel like this is due to a bug on the Epic Games account linked to the Switch.

Here's what you need to do:

1) Go to the Epic Games account (epicgames.com) linked to your Switch

2) Log in using your ID (email address and password)

3) Click on ACCOUNT

4) Click on PARENTAL CONTROLS

5) Enter your parental control PIN code

6) Activate the "Require a PIN code to add Epic friends" feature.

7) Restart the Fortnite application (game). For the modification described above made on the Epic Games site to take effect in your Fortnite game, you will need to log out and then log back into the game.

8) All you have to do now is accept Fortnite friend requests by entering the parental control PIN code from now on.

I haven't tried deactivating the "Require a PIN code to add Epic friends" feature again.

I hope this helps you.

Have a good evening

I have the same problem and the parental control solutions and the PIN code don't work. Did anyone find a different solution? Thanks!!!

Hello

I have the same issue with the incorrect parental code even though it's the right one. I have disabled parental controls and the PIN request for adding friends but the PIN is still being requested. I have been searching for 48 hours and I'm losing it. Thank you for your help if possible.

Good evening,

Thank you, your solution worked.

I then went back to make the modification to remove the PIN code for each request, and it works normally again.

Have a nice evening.

Hello,

I have an issue with the Fortnite game on my son's Switch. Basically, he installed the game on his Switch and I wanted to create the Epic Games account afterward with a different email address, but the problem is that the Fortnite and Epic Games IDs are different. So they need to be merged, but even associating Epic Games with Nintendo doesn’t work. What should I do?

Thank you for your help.

I can't add a friend who plays on Switch while I play on PS4.

Same problem for us and no solutions

Same for my son

Impossible to accept a friend request on Fortnite and impossible to send a request.

I deleted all pending friend requests, my son only has 180 friends, the privacy settings are fine and anyway nothing has changed compared to before, I restarted the Switch...nothing works.

If anyone has the solution...

Have you found a solution?

After struggling for quite a while myself with this story of the parental PIN code that wasn't working, I finally found the solution that works for good!

It's really simple actually, you need to go to epicgames and log in with your child's account, and once in the parental control settings, you just have to modify the PIN code!

Mine didn't have an epicgames account but had a Nintendo account, so I logged into epicgames with the Nintendo account, and from there they asked me to create the epicgames account, which I did, and I was able to change the PIN code, so now he can play with his friends without any issues!

Hello, I also have problems with my PIN code; I can’t find which one it is and I can’t resend it. Could you please resend it so I can add friends? My username is ancienwren6612.

By going to your parental account, you will be able to withdraw
