When you have Location Services enabled, you can share your device’s current location with anyone you choose using Find My Friends and Share My Location. Just install FindMyFriends and share your location with your friends by choosing from your contacts, entering their email addresses or phone numbers, or using AirDrop. If you have a cellular capable Apple Watch, Find My Friends will even switch your location to your Apple Watch whenever you are away from your iPhone. When you use Find My Friends, your location can be shared from any of your iOS devices, allowing you to choose the device you have with you most often. Find My Friends allows you to easily locate friends and family using your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Find My Friends lets you set up location-based alerts that can notify you automatically when a friend arrives at the airport, a child leaves school, or a family member arrives home safely. When you share your location, your friends can start following your location immediately and easily share their locations back to you so that you’re both in the loop. When using these features, your location is only sent to Apple if it is actively requested by a friend you are sharing with, and retained for 2 hours, after which it is deleted. You can also set up alerts to notify friends about changes in your location. For best location accuracy and notification performance, make sure Wi-Fi is enabled on your device. If at any time you don’t want to be followed, you can hide your location with a single switch. Find My Friends Version 7. 0 requires iOS 11 or later and iCloud. You can create a free Apple ID to use with iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
