SocialService
SocialService facilitates social functions that impact relationships made on the Roblox platform. Its primary usage is to show invite prompts and the phone book to players, allowing them to send invitation requests to their friends through PromptGameInvite() and PromptPhoneBook() respectively. You may leverage signals when such requests are made.

PromptGameInvite() displays an invite prompt to the local player through which they may invite their friends to the current experience. Before calling this method, you should use CanSendGameInviteAsync() to determine whether the player can send an invite, as this ability may vary depending on the platform or player.
See Player Invite Prompts for more details on implementing invite prompts, customizing prompts and notifications, and using launch data.
