@Soso I would also recommend opening you friend list when your friend is there and hitting (x) to refresh your friend list!!

Up? Any way to pin this thread?

 

[Soso]

When you visit a friend’s island or if a friend comes to your island, he/she will automatically be added to your in-game friend list.
But if this player decides to delete his game data and start over, his old name will be forever saved in your in-game friend list, whether you added him to best friends or not. So that means you can have in your in-game friend list an infinite amount of copies of him/her, without being able to delete them one by one! This is even more annoying if all the islands have the same name!!! The only “solution” is to remove the player from your Nintendo Switch friend list but if you do so, ALL the “copies” will be removed, even the last one (the one you want)!!!

The black circle is the friend I want to keep and the red one is the wrong old island "associated" to his Nintendo account


The most annoying thing is that I can’t even play online with the last one anymore, because the game considers that the first island linked with his/her Nintendo account is the good one! PLEASE, Nintendo, fix this in the next update… We should be able to delete any friend one by one IN-GAME this could be useful even for deleting malicious players...

I didn't had any experience with this glitch so far, guess the only thing to do here is to wait and see that Nintendo is gonna drop an update asap that fix said glitch (perhaps it get's fixed with the upcoming July update?). Sorry to hear that you have to bother with this, it sounds like an really annoying issue here. :/

Yes, it is, don’t hesitate post comments or email Nintendo about this glitch, it would help me and other people too

Am I really the only one to get this issue?

A friend of mine recreated an island, then I can't play online with him anymore because the old one is stuck in my in-game friend list. I would love to see a new feature that allows me to remove a friend directly into the game.

 

[Soso]

I’m sad Nintendo did not include that function in the new update.

 

[Soso]

No update

This thread doesn't appear to be going anywhere, so this continued bumping of it isn't serving any purpose. I'm going to close this one here.
