You May Soon Be Able To Add New XBL Friends Via An iPhone

One of my biggest gripes with Xbox Live is an inability to remotely add someone to your friends list.

Though Microsoft has seemingly ditched "Live Anywhere," users have made their own XBL applications. But Microsoft hasn't allowed them to manipulate friends lists -- until now.

1337pwn is one of several XBL applications; we've featured it before. It's available natively for iPhones, through the web, and for Blackberries. 1337pwn operator Det Ansinn tells me there's hope in sight. Microsoft recently made a change to their website that makes adding friends remotely possible.

"It's not elegant, but I think that we can get it working," said Ansinn. "If I can't get it solid, it won't make the cut. It's being worked on."

Not a guarantee, but it's something. I'll let you know if Ansinn's team succeeds.
