* Last Interaction - shows both the date and time you last interacted with their beYou meter.

## Adding a Friend

All beYou members, regardless of whether or not they're in your family, can only be added to your beYou friends list if you interact with their meter.

As a reminder, the beYou meter appears above your head and provides stats information and allows you to interact with other users.

When interacting with a meter, you have the option of friendly or romantic for adults and You can remove people as you see fit and also make a top 15 list which will filter to the top. Once on your list you will also see these friends if you have a beBell Phone. This will let you send messages to them and get more social points. More information will be provided about the phones in a different section of the knowledge center.

## Features

With beYou friends, you can text them through the beYou cell and using your beYou meter you can interact with one another to help with face-to-face social. You can also send assets to your beYou friends via the friends page to your beYou friends.

### Friend Options

When you add a beYou friend, you can do one of the following:

* Make Favorite: Makes a person a favorite by adding a star next to their profile.
* Give Asset: Give your friend an asset from the drop down menu. NOTE: If an asset doesn't show up when you're searching, it is unable to be passed.
* Remove Friend: This will remove a friend from your list.

#### Favorites

If you have ever interacted with another user via their meter, you will now see them on your beYou profile under the friends tab.

While there is no limit to the number of beYou friends you can have, you may only mark 17 beYou friends as a favorite. By marking your beYou friends as a favorite person, you will be able to find their name if using the beBell phone to text.

To mark someone as a favorite:

* Login to your beYou Profile.
* Scroll down your profile page and click the friends tab.
* On the right side of your list of friends, choose 'Friend Actions'.
* Chooose 'Make Favorite'.

How many friends will the beBell phone be able to work with? 15, if you need to add more you must remove someone from your favorite friends (not remove from your friends list).

Right now there are a only a few options for friends but we are going to be adding more. As mentioned above you can interact with your friends using the beBell Phone. Sending text messages provides social points for your game stats.

#### Give Assets

In the beYou Friends tab of your Profile you can use your Friend Actions button to gift certain types of assets (Food, Meals or Drink) to a friend, in amounts up to 50 assets per transfer. You must enter an amount no more than the amount of assets that you have for the item you select. Attempting to add more than you have will not work. Make sure to let the auto-complete fill in the item name for you! Any item that you transfer must be filled in by the drop down selection. Start typing the name of the item you want to transfer and the form will automatically look up all matching items that you have assets for.

If you transfer Food, Meals or Drink to a friend, they must have some way to use or deliver these items out of their assets to consume as they all do expire. Refrigerators, Drink Trays, Drink Pitchers, Meal Platters can all be used for this.
