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).

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.

My macbook keeps randomly turning off.
My macbook keeps randomly shutting off. It is no longer under warranty. I've read all of these discussions from people with similar issues and I've tried some of the things that seemed logical. it's a late 2007 MacBook. I bought it used from a friend and they never had this issue. It was wiped clean and when I got it, after about 5 LONG uses, it randomly shut down once. I installed Snow Leopard, updated to 10.6.8, then the problem started. The fan seems to be running fine. The problem occurs weather it's plugged in or not, so I'm pretty positive it's not the battery. I've done the PRAM reset and the SMC reset.. I also took the computer apart and cleaned it. Performed the SMC reset again and it seems to be working for right now. Hopefully that's all it needed but if the problem continues does anyone have any suggestions on what it may be? Thanks.

Why does Find My Friends keep going back to log-on screen in mid-use?
During use, Find My Friends quits and goes back to a log-on screen, which tells me I'm logged in, and tells me that I have passcode lock activated. The only way to get back into the app is to log in again. Then I use it for a few seconds and it goes back to that screen. Very frustrating.
Hi Writ736!
As a step for basic troubleshooting, you may need to force quit the application and re-launch it to see if the behavior is affected:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
You may also want to try a simple reset on your phone, which is explained here:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

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. -
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 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 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 appI 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!!

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. -
