Find my friends temporary event

This support article talks about limits for temporary events but I cannot figure out how to setup a temporary event in the find my friends app or even just temporary sharing with an individual, you used to be able to do it the old version of find my friends, did they remove this functionality?
I would also like to know how to stop sharing my location with an individual friend, do I just remove them from my friends list and my location is no longer shared with them?  I can see the option to stop sharing my location, but that will stop it for everyone.

Nor can we create an event before we assign inviteess.  These degradations impair our (at least my) experiences :-/

  • Find my friends temporary sharing issue?

    Hi All,
    I am having trouble with temporary sharing in the Find My Friends app.  I can no longer create an event for longer than 24 hours.  Is this something new?

    I'm having the same problem - Version 7.1.  If I select more than 24 hours sharing, it changes the amount of time back to 24 hours.  It's frustrating because the app is clearly designed to allow for sharing of more than 24 hours, and, when I'm on a work trip, I would love to share my location for  the duration of the trip with my colleagues.

  • Find my friends missing temporary events

    Ever since I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 Find my Friends has been missing the "temporary event" feature. Did apple quietly retire this? I have uninstalled app and reinstalled and it's still not there.

    For better or worse (and it is worse in my opinion) they have moved this feature...at least in part...to the Messages app.
    While looking at a "conversation" in the Messages app, click "Details" in the upper righthand corner. Click "Share My Location" to share you location with members of the conversation. Your options are "Share for One Hour," "Share Until End of Day," or "Share Indefinitely."
    No one else in my family has upgraded their phone to iOS 8. I am under the impression it only works with other people using iOS 8, but I haven't gotten it to work with anyone, yet.

  • I Find "Find My Friends" to be very Flakey

    I see a lot of 'Find My Friends not working' posts, but I wonder if anyone is having this problem: FMF is very unreliable. Sometimes it sends an alert at the right time, but it might not show an alert, or it might show it hours later after the event. So I know it "works" for me because it will actually send an alert sometimes, but it's very very unreliable. I have Background App Refresh enabled, and BAR for FMF turned on. Also, I have FMF enabled in Notification Center, with Banner alert style selected, and all the other options turned on.
    iOS 7.0.4 on iPhone 5 (AT&T)
    So has anyone else experienced this?

    "Weird" needs further explanation.
    Google's highly nonstandard IMAP implementation is weird, if you're using Gmail, though Apple bent over backwards to accomodate it. Other than that, what do you mean by "weird"?

  • IPad find my friends trouble

    I Have a Apple ID And iCloud email address and have added several alias email´s to my icloud account.
    these alias are also added to my iPad HD Mini APP ( Find my friends ) under me for invitations > send as.
    Problem is: I Deleted my several alias email addresses from my iCloud account ( iCloud.com ) deleted from iCloud no problem.
    But the alias email´s still exist in the Find my friends APP for my iPad under me > invitations > send as
    when these alias email´s we´re deleted from iCloud, was deleted from all apps that are connected except Find my friends.
    example: iMessage no longer shows these alias email addresses. the alias we´re removed automatically as they should have.
    find my friends is the only APP That did not remove the alias email´s from iCloud.
    any sugesstions ?

    Only temporary solution I Have found is:
    1) Delete all the alias email´s you want removed from iCloud.com account
    2) Go to your apple Id account ( Web)
    3) ad all the email address´s or alias email´s you want removed
    4) wait 30 minutes or so
    5) now delete the alias email´s you want removed.
    make sure Find my Friends is installed before you do the above
    check back later after 30 minutes or more in your find my friends app to see if they are gone.
    try logging out also.
    this worked for me but is only temporary on the client side as if you decide to later delete
    the find my friends APP on your iPhone 4+ or iPad 2 + and later install the APP Again,
    all the alias email´s will have returned to your find my friends APP Under send as
    have tried the new Find my friends app and nothing has changed. so this solution is only
    temporary.

  • Find My Friends - Old email address still in "Send As" Invitations...

    In Find My Friends App, Under Me (The Account Holder), Invitations, in the Send as tab, I have old email address in that menu which I can't delete, its says under it in orange, "This address will be used to identify you when sending requests using Find My Friends. You can add more addresses at appleid.apple.com
    I have logged into appleid.apple.com and there is no additional or alias addresses under that id, I have also checked my icloud email for aliases and to no avail.
    Anyone have any ideas to get rid of the old email addresses under Invitations?
    Thanks

  • Find my Friends can no longer be installed after iOS8

    I Have had Find my Friends on my iPhone with iOS 6 and then 7 and used to work fine, but since I upgraded to iOS8 I can no longer install the App, it will start to install and then delete itself from the home screen. It will have all the entries in the Settings menus until the iPhone is restarted, this is as if it's forbidden to be installed on my iPhone. It's iPhone 5 model ND662KH/A.
    i tried different Apple IDs but no change on this phone. The same can be installed on my iPad and there it works properly, just why it will not install on my iPhone 5?!!

    Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • HT204407 my 2 daughters and I are sharing one icloud.  I am trying to set up and use find my friends with them, but it won't let me.  It says I can't send a request to myself when I send one to her email address, which is different than mine.  What am I d

    my two daughters and I have iphones.  I am trying to set up and use find my friends with them. We have 1 icloud, but different emails.  When I send a request it states that I can't send a request to myself.  What am I doing wrong

    Sharing an Apple ID is never recommended for these reasons.
    They can create their own: http://appleid.apple.com and you can add them at the addresses they use for their ID.
    Sharing an Apple ID is not recommended because all of your data gets merged and when it gets deleted from one device, it deletes from them all, such as Contacts.

    So, have you created an iCloud account and is your device connected to iCloud?

  • HT201412 My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work, As long as I have this situation I can do nothing on

    My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work. As long as I have this screen situation, I cann't do anything on my I Pad. Please help !!

    I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
    I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
    I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off?

    Perform a Reset...

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Find my Friends will not work on my iPhone 4S / iOS 8.2

    Im having iPhone 4S on iOS 8.2 (12D508) (unfortunately).
    When I want to open my Find my friends app, im getting the message "Sign into your iCloud And then Go to iCloud settings) but when I click that and actually go on iCloud settings I can pretty much see i am logged into my iCloud.
    I can also see that in advanced settings, where Share my location option is on, im getting pop up alert saying "Share My Location Unavailable. Unable to connect to server. Please try again"

  • I have the same apple id on three devices need my daughter to be separate on find my friends, but right now we have to pick which device is found, can I change this with a different id?  We share an itunes.

    I have my phone, ipad, and touch all on my itunes and same apple id.  It is my daughter's touch and I want to have her on my "find my friends" but it is not allowing her device to be separate than mine.  Do I get her a separate apple ID, and can that still put her stuff on "our" itunes? 

    You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
    Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
    Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
    Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
    iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
    Music Home Sharing
    Video Home Sharing
    Photo Stream
    Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
    Mail (if using @me.com)
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Bookmarks
    Notes
    Find My iPhone
    Messages
    Find Friends
    FaceTime
    On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
    Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
    The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).
