Pokémon Go now lets you join Raids from your friend list

Pokémon Go streamlines Raid joining via friends list! This minor but welcome update allows players to easily join raids their friends are participating in.

Key features of this update:

• Seamless Raid Participation: Great Friends and higher friendship level players can now directly join a friend's raid from their friends list, seeing the raid boss and joining without needing an invite.
• Optional Participation: Prefer to solo your raids? No problem! This feature is entirely optional and can be easily disabled in the game's settings.

While seemingly small, this change significantly improves the social aspect of Pokémon Go raids, making it much easier to coordinate with friends during events. It demonstrates Niantic's responsiveness to player feedback and desire for improved social interaction.

Independent Play Remains an Option: For those who prefer a solo experience, the ability to opt out ensures the update doesn't disrupt individual gameplay. Details on this update can be found on the official Pokémon Go blog.
