Sorry 😅
I will Create a APIs to handle friend request-related operations. I will create a backend inserting new friend requests into the FriendRequests table, updating the status of friend requests, and fetching pending friend requests for a user.

Hi, you can directly interact with firebase database , you don't need to create a separate backend for this only. I'd suggest to insert into a new collection 'users' . Users will have user entitites containing several fields which are going to be used in future issues as well. Field we'll be using for this issue could be friendlist/friends and friendRequests both as array. if a user clicks on add friend button, userid would be added to the friendRequests array of the user, which he can accept. About accepting... in profile there could be a section, accept requests where the requests shall be rendered. Finally he accepts/reject it cleaning from friendlist and moving either to friendlist or going void, respectively.... User can also view his friendlist. There are many stuffs to perform for this task so procede in sequence, first just work on till sending a friendrequest... later we can add issue to accept and add to friendlist.

@linga66 go through my suggestion above and provide any suggestion/different approach if you want. Just try not to add a separate backend as we don't have one except firebase right now and perhaps won't need one anytime soon.
