New Friends features. As with the similar UI on Xbox.com, the Friends user experience has been updated with a Suggested section for suggested friends. (You can click on “See all” to browse the entire list, which includes people you may know, of course, but also Xbox VIPs.) A search box at the top of the app helps you find specific friends quickly.
