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.

  • Find My Friends app displaying wrong contacts

    Find My Friends app is displaying wrong name and information on 2 of my contacts. It is correct on the followers page but on the map and the friends list they are incorrect. How can I fix this? They were fine before today.

    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.

  • Find My Friends App

    i deleted the find my friends app. will i need to re-add all my contacts when i reinstall it.

    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.

  • How to add photo to "Find My Friends" app?

    Hi,
    I installed "Find My Friends" app but it doesn't show my picture, there is no picture... I see my friend's dot in the map no picture of my friend too. I am a dot in the map too.
    How i add my photo to find my friends app? I wanna see people's photos in the map. Please help thanks.

    Hey robertofromnc,
    Dont know if you solved your issue since ur question was posted in february and i am replying in july...but i had same issue and couldnt get pics to upload magically from contact list to find friend....but i figured it out....
    Go to me tab.
    Click on each follower.
    Click add to existing contact.
    Your contact list should pull up.
    Click on contact with pic already on that person.
    That should do the trick.
    Hope it works for you too.

  • HT201493 I can't remove some accounts from "Find My Friends" app.

    I want to remove one of my friend's account from my "Find My Friends" app, but the app keeps telling me it's under the maintenance. I've tried removing since last month, and I thought iOS6 as well as updated app can fix me this. Unluckily it's not.
    Any solutions?

    Hi kmarm,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I would suggest deleting the app from your iPhone and redownloading it:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • 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.

  • Find my friends app is not notifying when leave or arrive since new update?

    Find my friends app is not notifying when leave or arrive since new update?

    "Find My Friends" never worked even before shel left home. And she also has a new iPhone 6 (and I have a 6 plus ) on latest software update. We tried messing with it at home on wifi and on LTE with out any progress. I'm really disappointed with "Find my Friends" App. Especially for the App been made by Apple. Hope they fix the problem very soon maybe with a new update.
