Shakespeare was good friends with his fellow actors in the acting company he belonged to for almost 20 years. He was a beneficiary in the will of Augustine Phillips, and left money in his own will to Richard Burbages, John Heminges and Henry Condell. Heminges and Condell went on to publish the First Folio with an aim to immortalize Shakespeare's work.
Shakespeare was also friends with people he knew in Stratford. He and Anne were great friends with their neighbours Hamnet and Judith Sadler, after whom the Shakespeares named their twin children in 1585. Thirty years later Shakespeare had Hamnet Sadler witness his will.
We only know of two of William Shakespeare's friends
William Basse wrote about William Shakespeare when he was close to his death.
William Shakespeare. Despite the variant spellings, there is no indication that he was ever known as anything else. It's possible his close friends called him Will.
It is said that William Shakespeare and Anne got married at Temple Grafton, which was close-by Stratford.
None of Shakespeare's friends is as famous as he is. Back then, though, his friend Richard Burbage was much more famous than Shakespeare was.
The First Folio, a collection of 36 of Shakespeare's plays, was published in 1623 by John Heminges and Henry Condell, close friends and associates of Shakespeare (he left money to both of them in his will.)

Probably Hamlet is William Shakespeare's most famous play, although Romeo and Juliet must come close.
Yes, as far as we can tell. He seems to have been friends with Richard Field, who was from Stratford and was about Shakespeare's age. Field published Shakespeare's poem Venus and Adonis. Both Anne and Will Shakespeare were friends with their neighbours Judith and Hamnet Sadler--they named their twins after them and Hamnet was one of the witnesses to Shakespeare's will.
Shakespeare had friends both in Stratford and London. Among his Stratford friends was Richard Field, who became a printer in London and published Shakespeare's poem Venus and Adonis. Another friend from Stratford was Hamnet Sadler, a close neighbour of the Shakespeares. Will and Anne named their twins after Hamnet Sadler and his wife Judith, and Hamnet was one of the witnesses of Shakespeare's will. In the London theatre crowd, Richard Burbage, Henry Condell and John Heminges were all good friends. Shakespeare remembered them in his will. Heminges and Condell were the ones who published the First Folio.
William Shakespeare was a playwrite and an actor, however, he never published any of his plays, instead is friends and fellow actors John Hemminges and Henry Condell decided to after he died.
