Find Friends App

Find Friends App has not been working for several weeks now. Anyone else experiencing issues with the app? It states that the location of friends can not be found.

It's been doing that to me also. The app repeatedly asks me to sign back in when I was never out!!And I can't receive alerts no matter what I do. Can you receive alerts? And have you ever been able to get audio alerts?

  • Notify no longer working with find friends app!

    On find friends app the notify button no longer works and myself and everyone I'm trying to set the notify button has the latest update "6.1.2". Any one else having the same problem?

    I didn't realize until I went to a class to lecture in front of a couple hundred students that what worked on Friday no longer worked on Monday.  (I upgraded to iOS 5 over the weekend.)  My iPad with lecture slides was plugged in 25 feet away.  I finally recruited a student to tap the iPad screen when I needed the next slide.  A nightmare.  What is usually slick and seamless was a wreck. 
    Here's my deal.  My remote app works fine at home where my iPod Touch and iPad are on the same wifi network.  At school they're on different networks for some reason.  Bluetooth doesn't work anywhere.  So Apple needs to find this bug and fix it.  I can't believe whoever is responsible for this didn't test this out before they released iOS 5.  Sheesh. 

  • HT201493 How do I add pictures of my friends on find friends app??

    In apple store, find friends app shows pictures of your friends added to contact.  I have tried and tried and can't seem to
    do it.  Any answers??

    Use the contacts app. Select a contact for one of your friends and then tap on edit. Tap on the photo and select a photo from your photo albums to add to the contact. you can edit the photo by pinching and zooming. Tap Done when you are finished.
    You do need to have a photo of each contact in your photos app. Once you set a photo to a contact the photo can be deleted from the Photos app.

  • Notify Me function in Find Friends app

    Has anyone been able to get the "Notify Me" feature to work in the Find Friends app?  I believe I've made all the appropriate adjustments in Settings as well as the app itself.  However, when the friend arrives at the destination I selected, the app does nothing other than unselect the "Notify Me" button.  No alerts or notifications appear anywhere.

    Joe:
    Thanks for the reply but please understand that the article doesn't address my question at all (nor does it really provide any details on settings, etc.)  For the record, here is what I've set up:
    I am properly logged in with my iCloud and I am able to the current location of the friend that I am following.  This gets updated every 30 seconds or so.  So that part works.
    In the iPhone settings area under "Find Friends" have selected "Allow Notifications", 5 notifications in "Notification Center" and "Sounds", "Badge App Icon", and "Show on Lock Screen" are all enabled.
    In "Find Friends", once I see the map with the friend's location, I click on the "Notify Me" button which then asks if I want to notified when the friend leaves or arrives at a given location.  That in turn takes me back to the map screen where I see the "Notify Me" button.  Doesn't matter what option I choose (i.e., where leaves or arrive)--nothing happens.
    Therein lies the problem.
    Am I supposed to have the Find Friends open all the time or is the notification also supposed to work in the background.  I have tried both approaches and neither yields any kind of notification.
    Hope this helps.

  • Find Friends app keeps saying "location not available" on iOS7?

    After I updated my 4S to iOS 7, Find Friends will not actually find the person, it just pops up with "location not availble" everytime. I have tried restoring the phone, logging out then back in, and deleting the app then redownloading it and nothing has helped. The person I am trying to find says everything is working well on their end. Help!

    My family has 5 iphone 5s's. Two of my kids and myself just upgraded from iOS6 to iOS7. Now, on my Find Friends app, their locations only say Location Not Available. However my wife and and my other child, still on iOS6, their locations immediately appear.
    In talking with my two kids that are on iOS7, I have 100% confirmed that THE FIND FRIENDS APP MUST BE OPEN in order for their location to be found. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. Furthermore, my kids will not leave the Find Friends app open because it drains their batteries at an extremely fast rate. This is a new issue for iOS7.
    By confirm I mean this. On a hunch I called them when their location said not available, and confirmed that their Find Friends app was closed. I asked them to launch their Find Friends app on their phones. I then checked my Find Friends, and suddenly their locations were visible. I then had them close their Find Friend app, and sure enough, my Find Friends immediately showed their location as Not Available.
    THIS BEHAVIOR WAS NEVER PRESENT IN iOS6. NEVER!. I have also 100% confirmed that my wife's phone, beside me as as I type this, has all apps closed, including Find Friends. However her location immediately appears in my Find Friends list.
    I certainly hope that Apple will fix this immediately. I bought the five iPhone 5s's over a year ago, almost exclusively because of the Find Friends app, so I could keep track of my kids. Never once did we have trouble with Find Friends. And the app did not consume much battery, even when it was open.

  • Find Friends app-how to change alarm sound?

    i have no problem with the Find Friends app, and use it to let me know when my wife is leaving her office. however, the alarm sound is tri-tone and sounds like most everything else that alerts my iphone 4s. i cannot find anywhere to change this particular alarm sound to something else so that i can hear specifically when she leaves her office, other than checking the phone itself every time it tri-tones. can someone clue me in?

    you'll need to do some digging into the mail app to do this. Right-click on the Mail app in finder and select "show package contents". open the contents folder, then the resources folder and navigate down to whatever sound you want to change ("mail sent.aiff"). Make a copy of the original sound file and paste it somewhere else, then drag and drop whatever new .aiff sound file you want to use, renamed so the file name is exactly the same as the one you want to replace, into the resources window.

  • Can I access the find friends app on my iMac?

  • How to refresh find friends app on ipad 3?

    I personally find the find friends app to be brilliant and I understand it doesn't constantly refresh to save battery life. However how do I see people's location in real time (or as close as) for example see somebody driving down a road. Is there some mysterious refresh button that I'm missing?

    You need a third party app. Here is one.

  • Find friend app won't open

    We have 5 iPhone 6's in our family, 3 of which are plus's.    One of the 6 plus' will not open the find friends app.   once you try to open it has the circle (wait) icon and nothing happens.  We have tried to deleted the app and get the same thing, just sits and does nothing.....    very frustrating.   Have searched for some time now with no luck on finding a solution.   Hoping you guys may know the answer.
    Thanks

    Not a problem at all.  Honestly I can feel her pain there. I know restoring can be a mess. That's exactly why I try to avoid it at all costs myself unless its absolutely necessary.
    I understand this option is out but if she did end up restoring when she pulled in the backup it would pull most of her settings back in so it would cover most of the work (including contacts, messages, reminders, etc) and also give us a clean shot at getting that app reinstalled.
    From experience, whats happened is its not the application itself that is corrupt, necessarily, its most likely something that had happened to disrupt the download process when the app was being pulled back into that particular phone just based on how you are describing it.
    Also one thing I might recommend is trying to sign out of the Apple ID that is signed into her phone and sign back in. A lot of times that will force the App Store to remove the items from the queue, that it seems to be stuck in this case, and should give her the opportunity to download it again.
    I hope some of this helps and if you do have any other questions feel free to ask.  I have a lot of time hands!

  • HT201493 Is there a way to be able to set a lock on my sons phone so he is unable to turn off and/or delete the Find Friends app?

    Is there a way to be able to set a lock on my sons phone so he is unable to turn off and/or delete the Find Friends app?

    You can keep him from deleting it by going to Settings>General>Restrictions, tap Enable Restrictions, enter a passcode* then turn Deleting Apps to Off.  This will prevent him from deleting any apps on the phone without the restrictions passcode.  I don't think you'll be able to prevent him from turning off the app, however.
    * Important: Make sure you remember/write down the restrictions passcode.  If you ever forget it, you will have to restore the phone as a new device without using a backup to remove it, losing all data on the phone.

  • HT204407 Why doesn't the "notify me" portion of Find Friends app work?

    The "notify me" part of the find friends app still doesn't work.

    Hello,
    I'm sorry if it wasn't clear... but I don't have ram issues with the Kingston type...
    I used the new Kinsgtons in my macbook and wanted to take the originals from the macbook (Samsung) and them put in my iMac next to the other modules that were already in the iMac.
    I know it's a bit confusing... ;-)
    So... I have 2 x 4gb in my iMac from a brand I can't remember the name off... And I also wanted to put in 2 x 2 GB Samsung modules. So that would count up to 12 GB ram. Why? Because I took the Samsung modules out of my macbook and I thought I could reuse them in my iMac since they have the same specifications (1333MHz DDR3). But My iMac won't start up as soon as I insert those 2 Samsung modules.

  • HT204407 Will Find Friends app work with multiple phones on one Apple ID?

    My family has one apple ID and multiple devices on that account.  Is it possible for my wife and I to use Find Friends this way or does she need another apple ID?  When I put the app on her phone, it thinks it is me.  We want to use the app to locate one another.

    Use "find my iphone" for one apple id and "find my friends" for multiple id's.

  • HT201493 If I erase the find friends app from my decice does that mean my friends can no longer find me?

    Please answer(: I've Been needing this answer for a while about the find friends app

    From Apple's page on Find My Friends at
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
    The one paragraph that seems to provide the answer is...
    "Find My Friends can send your current location to friends even when the application is in the background and has been optimized to avoid draining your battery."
    So it seems you need to have the app (in background) for your friends to see you.

  • Find Friends app not working

    Hello. I have reallocated my 5C to my son. I did a full restore and everything looked fine. We set up an icloud account for him and iMessage is working fine. For some reason, neither Find Friends or Find My iPhone are working. Both apps are showing his phone as off line which makes no sense to me. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  • Nokia Find Friends App

    Are nokia planning on releasing an app that has the same functionality as Apples Find Friends or Googles Latitude?
    Seeing as they have such good maps you would think they would.
    I am thinking of buying a Lumia phone but don't want to give up this feature on my current phone.

    There is also EchoEcho which available for most platforms:http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/store/app/echoecho/804cc0b4-ed0a-4951-9ea5-dcca0c5e3308
