Find my friends
With Find My Friends, you can easily locate the locations of friends and family via your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Just install the app and share your location with friends by choosing from your contacts, entering their email addresses or phone numbers, or using AirDrop.
When you share your location, your friends can start following you right away and easily share their location with you, making it easier to keep up to date. If at any time you want to hide your location, a simple tap is all it takes to deactivate the feature.
Find My Friends allows you to set up automatic location alerts, for example to notify you of a friend's arrival at the airport, and reassure you when your child leaves school or a family member returns home. You can also set up alerts to send notifications to friends based on your travels.
When using Find My Friends, your location can be shared from any of your iOS devices, allowing you to choose the one you take with you most often. If you have an Apple Watch with cellular connectivity, Find My Friends will be able to determine your location using that of your Apple Watch when you are away from your iPhone.
For better location and more accurate notifications, make sure your device has Wi-Fi turned on.
