The Social Menu is a part of DragonVale where players are able to look at the gifts they have received, view their friends list, and look at news directly from Backflip Studios. It is also possible to log into Facebook, check Game Center achievements, enter redeem codes, and view Game Center standings. In addition, players can also invite friends via Facebook, Email, and/or SMS, and use the menu to visit a random park.
This section also notifies players how many gifts are available to still give for the day, and allows players to accept a gift and clear the notification after accepting it. It also allows players to give gifts back (if any available) to their friends who gifted them initially.
On October 9, 2013, players received a one-time gift for each shrine they have leveled before the 2.0 Update. Silver shrines rewarded players with 15 gems and 250,000 treats, whereas gold shrines rewarded players with 40 gems and 1,000,000 treats.

The higher the experience level of the player, the higher the amount of food treats they receive from their friends, no matter their experience level. The cap seems to be 632,177 food treats per gift.

Notes[]
The Social Menu feature became available on June 27, 2013.
The Social Menu was formerly known as the Friends Menu before the "Gifts", and the "News" sections were added to it.
When a new dragon is released into the game or a "Last Call" notice is given, the "Info" section of "News" Menu provides a display of the info box for the dragon. This information can also be viewed in the dragons section of the market.
The "Info" section of UPGRADE: Building news provides a display of the info box for the building, which can also be viewed in the "Buildings" section of the market.
The "Info" section of NEW: Island news provides a display of the info box for the island, which can also be viewed in the "Islands" section of the market.
The "Info" section of giant habitats news provides a display of the info box for the respective Giant Habitats, which can also be viewed in the "Habitats" section of the market.
The "Last Call" notice for dragons in the "News" section does not have a "Clear" button to clear the news after reading it.
Initially, several "News" announcements had a glitch where the actual coding was shown in the game rather than the description and information.
On June 9, 2014, the "RETURNING: The Bearded Dragon" news had a glitch where the actual coding was shown. The Bearded Dragon was available for a few hours in the market before it was removed along with the news.
On June 10, 2014, the Bearded Dragon was re-released with a corrected version of the news in the Social Menu.
On July 11, 2014, when the Victory Dragon was re-released, it's news indicated "NEW: Victory Dragon" instead of the consistent format "RETURNING: Victory Dragon".
On August 14, 2014, when the Amber Dragon was re-released, it's news indicated "NEW: Amber Dragon" instead of the consistent format "RETURNING: Amber Dragon".
On December 11, 2014, when the Reindeer Dragon was re-released, it's news indicated "NEW: Reindeer Dragon" instead of the consistent format "RETURNING: Reindeer Dragon".
On August 12, 2013, the Social icon was modified, and the, "Give Gift" button was changed to "Free Gift".
On August 22, 2013, in the Social Menu, at the bottom of the screen a "Redeem Code" option was added to enter codes for special promotions.
On August 22, 2013, the gifts notification that appears on the loading screen to notify players that they have been given gifts was modified.
On October 9, 2013, the gifts notification that appears on the loading screen to notify players that they have been given gifts was changed to inform players after the game loaded.
On May 30, 2014, the Market Countdown for the Emerald Dragon Last Call News in the "News" section ended one day prior to when it left the market. This resulted in the countdown displaying "expired!" when it was done counting down until it left the market on May 31, 2014.
On May 19, 2014, the Game Center icon at the bottom of the screen in the Social Menu, was modified to the latest Game Center icon that was introduced in Apple's Software Update, iOS 7.0.
On June 29, 2016, the Social Menu was modified. The font and icons were changed.
