The Party Hub is a new social feature added to Fortnite on mobile. With the Party Hub, you’ll be able to see whether your friends are online and easily party up with them. Voice chat has been added, making it easier to coordinate with one another as a team. Note that direct messages aren’t available through the Party Hub at the moment, though Epic Games has noted they are working on this functionality.
To locate the Party Hub after downloading the v10.31 update for Fortnite, you’ll need to look at the bottom of your home screen while on mobile. There, you should see the new Party Hub menu.
