Find my friends app works differently now with iOS 8.  I delete messages and am constantly being asked to share location....no "always share" option....

In previous iOS I shared my location with "my friends" one time, permanently in the Find My Friends app.  Now, I am being asked to share over and over--I delete messages in iMessage all the time.  I want to share my location with my friends one time, permanently.  Is this possible?

I seem to have a similar problem.  I share my location with User-A via Find My Friends.  I have a conversation with User-A via Messages.  I delete the conversation with User-A in Messages.  Suddenly, User-A no longer has permission to follow me via Find My Friends.
I prefer to keep my message history in Messages clean, but do not want to revoke other users' permissions to follow me in Find My Friends each time I delete Messages conversations.
Is this a bug or intended?  Either way, is there a workaround or solution, other than having A) having to keep all message history or B) constantly remember to grant users permission to follow me in Find My Friends over and over again?

  • Is the "Find My Friends" app broken right now?

    Last night I tried using "Find My Friends" and then it bumped me out of my saved login and said incorrect Apple ID or password (even though I am using the correct login info).  I had been using it fine before this for a month.  Now I'm trying to login, and it either continues to say the login is incorrect or it just gives no response after pressing the Sign In button.
    I can login to www.icloud.com using the exact same account just fine. 
    I have been using the same account for both my iTunes store account and my iCloud account.
    Is there anyone at Apple listening?  I think you have a major bug in your servers.

    I turned the power off my iPhone completely this time, then after powering back on Find My Friends allowed me to login.
    This Apple app has a bug that is cleared by recycling the power.
    Reminds me of Windows, how it sometimes needs a complete reboot to fix the OS bugs.  Looks like Apple has the same thing going on with the iPhone a little bit.

  • Find my friends app looks the same in iOS 7...

    Why didnt Apples app "Find my friends" change design for iOS 7?
    It still looks the same as iOS 6, its not flat and so on.

    It may look the same but it is a lot more difficult to keep everyone showing up on the App now. 

  • My ipad 2 ran great on with IOS 7. Now with IOS 8 it is slow and choppy and full of error messages. Is this Apples way of forcing my IPad2 into obsolesence?

    IOS 8 degrades iPad2 performance.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Find my friends app no longer works

    The find my friend app was working. But now it no longer works.  it doesn't work on my iPhone or my iPad. I've looked in settings to see what I can do, and I did read something where it says you can only use one device at a time. So I set it for iphone and it doesn't work. Any help?

    i am having problen with find my friend app.
    i Am currently running ios 8 on my iphone 5 while my friend is running ios 8 on iphone 6.
    however, on my find my friend app, it displays location not found for this friend.  I am certain she has accepted my invitation And has shared her location.  Are there any known compatible issues and is there any fix for this? 

  • HT201493 iOs7 disabled Find my Friends APP

    Find my friends app is not compatible with ios7.  Anyone else have this problem?

    I noticed on one of my iPhones that it asked me if it was OK to share my location when I first ran it after getting a new iPhone. I said yes and my wife could find me. But, on her iPhone, it never asked if it was OK to share. I deleted the entire app and readded it back on her phone. After signing in she was then asked if it was OK to share her location and I was still listed as a friend (we didn't have to re-invite each other).
    Hope this helps someone.

  • HT204407 find my friend app problem

    my find my friend app pops up when i hit the icon to open and use it then it closes after a couple seconds what is wrong with it?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might start out by force quitting the "find my friends" app, then restarting it. If this doesn't help try deleting it and then reinstalling it.

  • Did Apple make Find My Friends app worse with newest update?

    I upgraded my Find My Friends app to the newest update, and it just seems much worse than before....not that the previous version was that good.  It can't seem to locate people very well....it always keeps readjusting.  It can't seem to lock down an address.  Don't these phones have GPS chips?  Shouldn't it be able to lock down a pretty precise location fairly quickly?

    Yes, the phones have GPS. Whether they are able to locate another device depends both on how good a GPS lock you have and how good a one the other party has. GPS doesn't work very well in buildings. So, if one or both of you is in a building, it may be difficult for the app to get a precise location.
    If your profile is correct, your system software is also a bit out of date. It's now up to 6.1.3. You may want to consider updating.

    Little hard to understand what you are asking.  Let me guess that this not an Iphone4S issue.  Its a problem with your service provider.  Contact them.
