HT204407 Find My Friend Label unaccessable

The FMF app shows the work location of my wife, but it does not allow me to assign a label to that location.  The "Label" button is grayed out.  Can anyone solve this riddle?

You do realize that Find My Friends is not a 3rd party app. The original poster is exactly where he needs to be for support.
In any case, the actual answer to the question is that labeling will be unavailable whenever the location accuracy is not high enough. (Poor cell or GPS reception on the located device)

  • HT204407 Find my friends shows completely wrong adress every time I go to a specific place

    Every time the phone goes to a certain adress it actuall shows it at an adress 2.4 hours away, every time but never has any other problem. Phone will be in a spot in eustis florida and the find my friends app always says it's on homer road in Jacksonville Florida which is almost 3 hours away.

    Find my Friends uses Apples own map data. The same data as the Apple Maps app uses.

  • HT204407 Find My Friends keeps crashing on startup - tried  closing, resetting phone- everything but deleting. Suggestions?

    Find My Friends keeps crashing on startup. I've tried closing, the double click on the Home & closing, restarting phone & restating phone. Can't log on to get to settings to troubleshoot. Any suggestions besides Delete? I've got 5 that I follow, and don't want to bother them with re-accepting to follow.

    I had the same issue.  I deleted the app and reinstalled.  It solved the crashing and all my existing friends were still connected to my account (I did not have to re-invite them).

  • HT204407 Find my Friends doesn't work after IOS 7 update

    We use find my friends for our entire family to monitor kids locations, etc.  Since updating to IOS 7, one of the phones only shows it's location sporadically - otherwise says location not available.
    Have verified location services are turned on, nothing is blocked, etc.
    This phone was updated to IOS 7 over wifi (vs. through iTunes) - one other phone had some minor (unrelated) issues after updating over wifi that were resolved by doing a factory reset & updating from iTunes - wondering if that could be cause of the issue here as well.  Anyone else encountering issues with FMF?

    Apple did update their help section on the app. I found this trying to figure out why my Find Friends wasn't working after the update to iOS 7. 
    "Find My Friends is turned on in Background App Refresh (in Settings > General in iOS 7). When Background App Refresh is turned off, Find My Friends can’t use Location Services in the background. If Background App Refresh is turned on, but you quit Find My Friends via the multitasking interface, location updates won’t be sent to your friends until you open the app again."
    Hopefully Apple will update this as it was not this way prior to iOS 7. Killing the app didn't prevent your location from updating in iOS 6 as I constantly killed the apps running in the background and never had this problem till the update. Hope this helps! Just make sure to not kill the app as of now and to tell everyone you follow not to kill their app and locations will continue to refresh. Otherwise it won't update locations till the app is opened again.

  • HT204407 Find my friends notify me has not worked since the ios7 update. Help

    Ever since the update to ios7y find my friends app never notifies me when one of my contacts arrives or leaves
    I've reinstalled it.  I've kept it running in the background etc
    Not liking the new update at all. But would like up know how to fix the notify function on this app

    I finally got this to work. Here's my procedure (and it's not ideal).
    On all phones, background run must be ON for FMF.
    On my phone:
    Delete app
    Reboot phone
    On my wife's phone (yeah, this is why it's not ideal):
    Delete app
    Reboot phone
    Reinstall app on both phones
    Sign in on both.
    Setup geofence via Notify Me when (wife) leaves home on my phone
    Setup geofence via Notify Me when (husband) leaves home on her phone
    Et voila.
    Notifications started working again.
    So, it's not ideal because it requires your target to delete, reboot and reinstall/signin for this fix to work. That said, if you're using it to track your kids when they're out on dates or whatever, you should have access to use this workaround.
    Hope this helps!!

  • HT204407 Find my friends Icon disappeared after upgrade to ios 8. I tried restarting as well as reinstalled the app but its not working. I can find it in Usage, but not in spot light. Pla help!!j

    Find my friends Icon disappeared after upgrade to ios 8. I tried restarting as well as reinstalled the app but its not working. I can find it in Usage, but not in spot light. Pla help!!

    I have exactly the same problem on a 4S on iOS 8. Have tried uninstalling, deleting FMF from backup, resetting phone and restoring from backup, but the problem remains. Sometimes the icon appears on a backup Home screen in iTunes, but it never appears on the phone itself. The app is accessible by going to the store, purchases and opening it from there. The app appears to have been running the whole time, but becomes invisible anytime I return to the home screen.

  • 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.

  • HT204407 Find my friends app help

    when i open the find my friends app, i login and it says "[email protected] check your email for instructions to verify this account" but when i check the default email on that phone, its not there.

    Have you looked here:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My Friends
    Is the default mail on your phone the email address that you associated with your Apple ID?

  • HT204407 Find My Friends app

    Find my Friends app shows my location services as off.  Even though I said yes when it asked to use it.  How do I turn it on?

    This doesn't help.  When I follow the path above, for Find my Friends it shows it as working while using.  But when I am in the app, at the bottom where it has Me listed- it says Location Services off in red letters.  When I push on that, it takes me to a screen that has a Share My Location option that is off.  It is greyed out so that I can not change it.

  • HT204407 Find my friends server error

    When trying to add one of me friends it came up with server error !! Any help

    I ended up being able to solve it. It turned out the e-mail address associated with the account was not set up correctly.
    I found out by accident when I tried to get Find My Friends to work on an older device with iOS 6. When I installed Find My Friends on that device, the App Store said the latest version required iOS 7 but I could load the previous version of Find My Friends.
    This older version turned out to be much more helpful: instead of the server error, it told me exactly what the problem was. I just selected the correct e-mail address (which was the only one in the list, but not actually active) and everything worked correctly from then on.

  • HT204407 Find My Friends shows all of south Brooklyn as Long Island.

    Is there anyway to report Find My Friends bugs?
    All of south Brooklyn shows as Long Island.

    I found this post after losing secondary iCloud account support for multiple device "Find my iPhone." We used a secondary iCloud account to locate the entire family's iDevices in one place, and Apple removed that functionality in iOS7. Someone suggested using Find my Friends, which seems like a reasonable alternative, but I'm having hte same problem you describe. Before iOS7, were you able to locate devices that were not open to the app? If so, I hope Apple decides to fix this.

  • HT204407 Find my friends keeps randomly turning on my "hide" function

    Find my friends keeps randomly turning on my "hide" function. I go in and turn it off, but then it turns it back on again.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, doing a hard reset, and restarting the program.

    I had the same issue.  I deleted the app and reinstalled.  It solved the crashing and all my existing friends were still connected to my account (I did not have to re-invite them).

  • HT204407 Find a friend app on 4g

    Hi why does the time and location not change on the find a friend app when you are locating a friend. But will update on another friend?  Thank you

    Is he using the iPad or iPhone?
    Is Settings > iCloud account registered?
    Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

  • HT204407 Find my Friends app signs me out even while running in background. How can I fix this?

    This happened before and after updating the OS to iOS6. If I open FmF, sign in, it won't stay signed in. I can't use the alerts because after a time, even if I leave the app running in the background, it signs me out. I can still be found by others but can't be informed when friends reach locations.
    My husband and I purchased the same phones at the same time, and his does not have the same problem. We sync using the same Apple ID and share apps. The only issue I can imagine would be a setting that differs between phones but have not been able to nail it down.

    Try creating a passcode for your device in settings. This means you need to enter the passcode before accessing anything on your device, this way you will stay signed into the FmF app even while running in the background and it will not require you to sign in every time you launch the app.  However, once you remove the passcode to your device in settings, the FmF app will again require you to sign in whenever you launch the app. I think this is for security reasons.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT204407 Find My Friends: how to delete a saved address

    My son change schools recently. I have the new school address saved to notify me when he arrives, but how do I delete the old school address?

    The only way to clear the email address autofill cache is to perform a Restore (via iTunes) and set the phone up as new, meaning all your settings will have to be re-entered, and all your content re-synced. Up to you to decide if that's worth it, but that really is the only way, unless/until Apple changes it.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
