What Is the Pi Network Security Circle?
The Security Circle is a unique feature of the Pi Network that enhances the security of its blockchain. By adding trusted individuals to your circle, you contribute to a global trust graph, which the Pi consensus algorithm uses to secure transactions.
Common Reasons for the “Failed to Add” Error
- Contact Not Registered on Pi Network: Ensure the person you’re trying to add has an active Pi Network account.
- Phone Number Format Issues: The contact’s phone number should be saved in the correct international format to be recognized by the app.
- App Sync Issues: Sometimes, the app doesn’t immediately recognize new contacts. Restarting the app can help refresh the contact list.
- Inactive Users: If the contact hasn’t been active on Pi Network recently, they might not be eligible to be added to your Security Circle.

- Add Through the App: Navigate to the Security Circle section in the app and select “Add from contacts” to include your trusted individuals.
Can You Change Your Security Circle?

Personal Experience
I have spent countless hours trying to fix these issues, read threads, watched videos, and suffered just to bring the best and 100% working techniques to you. Make sure to follow the instructions; regardless of failure, they work eventually.
- Save the phone number of your contacts with the correct international dialing code. Make sure there are no spaces or unwanted zeroes between the numbers.

- Upon refreshing the list each time, you may see the pi verified badge beside the contacts sometimes, and sometimes it disappears. This is a common issue seen in the app and doesn’t always show the accurate status each time due to high volume, I assume, as it often shows poor network connection. Don’t worry about it and keep adding regardless.
- It may show “User is not a member of Pi network yet” or “Failed to add” error. Keep re-opening the app, refreshing the list, and re-adding the contacts. This can take hours, but it’s worth it as it’s a one-time process and boosts your security circle. It’s frustrating, I know, but do it anyway.
- At some point, it will recognize the number correctly and will successfully add to the security circle.
- Awesome! You did it. It only took, what? like one eternity. lol
