Pokémon Go now lets you join Raids from your friend list

Pokémon Go simplifies Raid joining via friends list! This minor but welcome update allows players to easily join raids with friends.

Key features of the update:

• Seamless Raid Participation: Great Friends and above can now directly join a friend's raid from their friends list, seeing the current boss and joining without needing an invite.
• Opt-out Option: Prefer to solo your raids? Easily disable this feature in the settings.

While a seemingly small change, this update significantly improves the social aspect of Pokémon Go raids, making it much easier to coordinate with friends during the busy holiday season and upcoming events. This suggests Niantic is increasingly responsive to player feedback.

Independent Play Remains an Option

For detailed information, refer to the official Pokémon Go blog. This simple yet effective change streamlines the raiding experience and enhances social interaction within the game.
