From the home page of Circles, in the Chat section located at the bottom of the app, you will find a (+) icon. By tapping it, you will access the Contacts screen.
At the top of this screen, you will see a green icon with the silhouette of a person and a (+) symbol.
By selecting it, two methods to add a contact will be shown:
a) Search by email or username.
b) Scan a QR code.
Method A: Search by email or username
If you select this option, you can enter the email or username of the person you want to add. After performing the search, the corresponding contact will appear so you can select it and send a friend request.
Method B: Scan QR code
If you select the second method, the person you want to add must show you their QR code. This code is found on the same add contacts screen, under the option “Show your QR code.”
