The game was to be released on February 14, 2012, but appeared as a playable version on February 13 as a beta release. The app received a level-update on February 29 and March 29. Power-Ups originated here.
It was originally another webgame called Angry Birds Flash, a collaboration between Rovio and Adobe but got canceled and replaced by Friends in early 2012, after it's unknown/unconfirmed cancelation
Rovio and Meta have collaborated in the past to add extra bonus levels to several Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons episodes.
Gameplay
The game is similar in most ways to the classic Angry Birds game, but with some notable changes that allows players to target better, fly longer, and create more damage, but the game can be played without the use of power-ups.
- Social media aspects allow players to invite friends to play or gift Power-ups to one another.
- The Shop allows players to purchase power-ups for their own use or as gifts to other players. (formerly the Angry Birds Shop)
- Bird Coins: These are coins that are given as rewards by winning stars on Weekly Tournament Levels and placing in the Top 3. These came in an update for Angry Birds Friends on February 4, 2013. You can use these coins to purchase Power UPs, Mighty Eagles, Avatars and Costumes, and Wingmans.
- Wingman is a power-up of Terence wearing a wrestling mask. When used a cutscene will play and he will tag the current bird on the slingshot out and he will go in there place. Special Superhero Effects like "Bam!" or "Pow!" are included when this hero deals with damage!
- Avatars are icons of characters you can give to your account. The characters available are Red, Chuck, Bomb, The Blues, Matilda, Minion Pig, Red with an explosion background, Terence and Bubbles.

Design Update
On the mobile version, the designs of the Power-Ups were updated in April 2017. After that, in May of the same year, both the birds and pigs' designs were updated, leaving them with their Toons designs and giving Hal (not again!) a brand new design, which he has a curved orange beak, a body like the classic design but with updated feathers and a yellow ring around the eyes. Corporal Pig, Foreman Pig, and King Pig kept their original designs but updated to be like their Toons designs. King Pig's crown received golden spheres.
Bubbles didn't receive one, mostly because his in-game design was the same as his Toons design.
In April 2019, the Facebook version also was updated with the new designs and was currently only for the pigs. The birds' designs were changed in January 2020 along with the removal of Story Mode and Bird-O-Matic.
Mobile Version
- Main article: Angry Birds Friends/Mobile Version
Original Version
In 2019, a Windows 10 port of the game came out which had an all-new menu. The changes in that version came to the mobile version in November 2019 and the Facebook version in January 2020. This is a bit about the original version and everything removed.
Golden Egg / Easter Egg Locations
On April 3, 2012, AB Facebook introduced Golden/Easter Eggs. There were 10 eggs.
Avatars
On February 11, 2012, Rovio introduced a link via the Angry Birds Facebook page for users to create a customized Bird avatar. The customizations included a crown, cowboy hat, pirate hat, and sombrero, along with three types of sunglasses and an eye patch. Users can choose between Red, Chuck, Female Red Bird, Bomb, The Blues, Hal, King Pig, Terence, Matilda, Super Red, an an egg, Stella, & Bubbles as their customized avatar (only the first three and later Stella are available for free). A cryptic message about defending the egg with a large flock around a Golden Egg with a crown can be seen on the site.
Avatars were officially released on the site on March 14, 2012, with the launch of the "Bird-O-Matic" tool with several additional items to add to your character, which are:
- Red: Free
- Chuck: Free
- Girl Bird: Free
- Stella: Free
- Bomb
- Jay
- Hal
- King Pig
- Super Red
- Terence
- Wingman
- Egg
These are the backgrounds:
- Easter Background
- Wingman Tournament Background

It was removed - if you played before it was removed, you get a power-up box.
Tutorial
The tutorial used to be a game mode in the mobile version. It used to be mandatory to complete to use the tournaments but an update removed that. It was always mandatory to complete when trying to play the power-up practice.
Original Player Icons
The original player icons consisted of Red, Chuck, Bomb, The Blues, Wingman, Hal, Bubbles and Fat Pig.
Notes
- This game was released on May 2, 2013, where you can play the original Angry Birds Friends on your mobile.
- There are no episodes currently, unless you count the Piggy Tower and the weekly tournament. But they're just game modes.
- Before the update on February 4, 2013, Weekly Tournaments were played at night time, but in the update, the background is played during the daytime.
- Just two weeks after the new tournament update with Wingman, February 18, 2013, another update to Angry Birds Friends updates rivals to the Tournaments, for those who don't have rivals to play against yet. Photos of Chuck the Yellow Bird and Red the Red Bird appear competing in the tournament as CPU rivals. Beat their high score and you're a couple of steps closer to winning unless there are Facebook User opponents.
- Angry Birds Friends' logo has been changed some days after the mobile version got released.
- This is the 6th Angry Birds game in the Angry Birds app/game series, including its spin-off, Bad Piggies.
- This is the second time that Female Red Bird appears. The first was in Angry Birds Seasons.
- This is the only Angry Birds game that is playable on Facebook. Other games with Facebook connect are unable to play on the Facebook site.
- Bomb and Matilda now appear on the score leaderboard since the Movie and Own The Movie Tournament, but they appear randomly.
- There was supposed to be an Egg Bomb power-up where egg bombs with parachutes fall from the sky, but Rovio cut it, probably because it resembled Matilda's power too much.
- If the date is the player's birthday, 5 Wingman power-ups will be given to the player for free.
- Stella, when launched from the slingshot, sometimes uses Hal's launch voice (from Angry Birds Seasons, primarily, and since the newer updates of Angry Birds and Angry Birds Rio) for an unknown reason.
- Bubbles makes his own sounds when he waits for a slingshot, a feature originally planned for Angry Birds Seasons.
- The Power-Up Practice was the only mode with unlimited Power-Ups.
- As of May 2017 this is now the second classic game to use Toons sprites, after Angry Birds Rio (Rio 2 episodes).
- Strangely, Bubbles is the only bird not to be redesigned in his toons style.
- Some sounds in Angry Birds 2 are used in this game.
- Strangely, before Poached Eggs was removed, a pre-Chrome Foreman Pig can be seen with orange eyebrows on the level select screen for Poached Eggs.
- During the 10.10.0 update, a new version of the "Spin the Wheel!" was released. By spinning the wheel you will fill the meter, which can increase your chance of winning the jackpot.
- Strangely, The Back to School icon from Angry Birds Seasons is used on the Appspot URL.
- Universal (short) slingshot aim indicators were officially added to the game on March 22nd, 2022.
- Like in Angry Birds Space, the Minion Pigs in the tournament somehow look like the Small Pig in different sizes.
