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.

    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.

    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:

    Is the default mail on your phone the email address that you associated with your Apple ID?

  • 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.

    I share an Apple ID with my family...can we still all use the find my friends app or do we need to get our own Apple ID's?

    To avoid confusion and merging data... it's always suggested that each person have their own apple id.

  • 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? 

  • After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

  • HT1338 After recent update I can no longer see some my friends in my "find my friends" app?

    Since I updated my iPhone 4 I can no longer see some my friends on the "find my friends" app.  I used to be able to follow my husband and son but now it just says "location not available".  It's strange because they can still see me and follow me?

    Regarding device visibility in iTunes try Andrei Cerbu's post here, JF Fourie's post here, or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
    Once the device shows in iTunes you should be able to access the file sharing area from the apps tab of the device when connected.
    You may find the apps in question are able to transfer files into Dropbox which might provide an alternate transfer mechanism.

  • 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.

  • Find My Friends App

    It is possible, but if you have a recent backup of your phone, you could just restore from that backup and everything would be there.

  • Find My Friends app and Apple Watch

    Will Find My Friends app be able to be downloaded on the Apple Watch?

    OK. I have read any and everything their has been on the Apple Watch, and their has been nothing about all the apps that will be available in those articles. Now, you could say "Well, that answers your answer."  But, I'm sure their will be some apps that are released that have not been mentioned yet. So, I thought I would ask.

  • Incorrect spellings in Find My Friends app

    Hi all!
    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. The apps sections were all for specific Apple apps and didn't include this one.
    Recently the Find My Friends app has started mis-spelling names of locations. I live in the UK, in London, but when a friend of mine isn't in a location I've saved and it gives me the name of their location, it has started spelling London as Londen and England as Engeland. Why could this be happening? Does it rely on Google maps? Literally the only thing that springs to mind, unlikely though it is, is that Google changed the spellings for the Olympics as one of the odd little things they do from time to time (try going on Google maps on your computer and getting directions from the shire to mordor and you'll see what they've done!). I realise this is unlikely though.
    Anyone else had this spelling error? It's the same on my iPhone and iPad.

    SOLUTION:
    For anyone reading this and curious of the solution, it turns out the issue was a change in default location / language associated with my Apple ID. Turns out it randomly defaulted to Dutch. Just gotta log in to the Apple website ID managing section and change it back.
