IOS8 iMessage Location Share Conflicts with Find my Friends

In iOS 8, when I try to delete iMessage threads from people who follow my location in Find my Friends it always pops up a dialog asking if I want to stop sharing location. This would make sense if I initiated the sharing in iMessage but I didn't. It's a pre-existing location share from FMF.
Driving me crazy.
Even persists after factory restore.

My problem was as described by DavidHeady on 11-7-2014. In Find My Friends > Me, the Share Location slider was ON, but grayed out and unresponsive. Here's what it took to fix it on iPhone 6, current OS: Settings > General > Reset > RESET LOCATION AND PRIVACY. Both the Reset choice and Reset Location and Privacy are at the bottom of their respective pages (iOS 8.1.3). Of course you then have to go to all the appropriate places and enable Location Services, Share Location etc.

  • Siri doesn't seem to work with Find My Friends

    Siri doesn't seem to work with Find My Friends completely accurately. If I ask it where once of my friends is, it tells me it doesn't know, but shows that person in the response, twice, with their location. Anyone experiencing this?
    Also - I found a bug. If you dictate a note via Siri it will not sync with iCloud at all. If you manually update the note however after Siri dictates it will. It will also sync if you manually start a note and then use the microphone on the keyboard.

    Actually, I figured it out. For the person in question I had both [email protected] and [email protected] listed in their contact info.  When you look at them in Find My Friends see which one is highlighted and delete the other. Once I did that they only showed up once in Siri.

  • Location services off in Find My Friends

    I've gone to every location in iOS 8.1 where location services can be turn on and it's on everywhere. But when I go into Find My Friends itself the "Me" line has in red "Location Services off. If I touch "Me" (ok, let's not be juvenile) it takes me to the "Me" settings where I have "Share My Location" slider indicating it's on, but it's 'greyed' out. I got rid of the six other iDevices in the list as they are either gone or iPads without the SIM card. My wife and family use this extensively to track one another on road trips of which we do many, often alone.
    Thanks in advance for the outpouring of wisdom, knowledge, and answer.

    Oh yes, I am using a new iPhone 6 Plus running the latest iOS, 8.1. Love the phone. Not so thrilled with the settings being in six different places for the same thing.

  • Help with locating my Mac with find my iPhone

    My Mac was stolen and I uploaded find my iPhone to my phone. It has not located my computer yet and I am concerned that since I had to reset my password for icloud which obviously was not reset on my stolen computer, that find my Mac will not be able to locate it due to the resetting. Is this correct? Please help

    I called Apple support.  The good thing is they took my call and didn't charge me an applecare Pay-per-incident phone support.
    Their suggestion is to reinstall Mountain Lion, original version.
    I do that by:
    Restart the mac with option key pressed down to get to  "Start up manager"
    In "Start up Manager" I am to Choose recovery HD
    Under Recovery HD I am to choose the option to reinstall OS to install 10.8
    He said it will take a good hour to reinstall, so I'll try tonight.
    His guess is that when I originally downloaded Mountain Lion that a kernal was missing -- one that drives the mini port. If that's the case, Reinstalling the OS will fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work, he is sending me to a mac store where they can boot my mac with an external drive -- and then they can check the hardware - the mini-port - to see if the problem is my mini-port or Mountain Lion.

  • Siri not integrating well with Find my Friends in IOS7

    Since I upgraded to IOS7, Siri seems to be having more problems. In the past, I could say "Where's Chuck Jones, or Find Chuck, and Siri would jump right to it. Now when I ask the question in IOS7, she will respond either with "Here is the address for Chuck Jones" and then show "Content not Available" (I do have his contact info in my phone), or just say "I don't have an address for Chuck Jones" and display the same not available message.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problem in iOS 6. Siri used to work well with FMF, but now just says it doesn't have an address for any of the contacts I ask it about. Also, notifications like "tell me when x arrives at home" don't work anymore.

  • Share my Location iOS8 or Find my Friends?

    What is the relationship between 'Find my Friends' and 'Share my Location' in iMessage?
    Firstly. If I 'Share my location indefinatey' in an iMessage, does this sharing somehow continue after I delete the iMessage post used to initiate the share??
    Is 'share my location' a replacement for 'find my friends'?
    Are they one and the same now?? I'm confused..

    Find My Friends is a Third-Party App that requires you to specifically approve whomever your "Friends" are.  Once you and they Approve within the App you can click on the App at any time and if your Friend is within WiFi (or Cellular Data if selected) you will see where they (i.e., their iPhone) are located at that point in time, or the last time they where connected.
    The iMessage Share My Location is a Feature within the standard Messages App

  • How to share videos with family over the internet

    I have a ton of home videos that I have edited with Final Cut and I would like to find a way to share those with family and friends across the country. Is there any way to do this in the Apple ecosystem. If not, what do most recommend as the best way to do this? Thanks

    Thanks for the reply... I'm actually looking for something that would allow me to have all the content available in a library so friends and family can see all the content and then choose what to watch. Ideally, it would be like iTunes or iPhoto only that it could be accessed by multiple people from all over the internet. I think Apple is missing a huge niche in this area.

  • 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?

  • Find My Friends no longer accepts invites

    Hello,
    All of a sudden my wife and I can't send/receive invitations with Find My Friends App.  Worked forever till recently. If I send the request from my phone her name will show up in the list as invited for 20 seconds then disappear. If I send the invite from her phone, I can only type in my email address that is my iCloud, but it stays grey and doesn't turn orange as valid. I have verified iCloud is working on her phone, I can manually do an iCloud backup, her Find my iPhone app works... but also on her phone...in her Contacts for her contact...I've added a photo...and when I log into Find My Friends, at the bottom of the screen where it shows "Me" it doesn't show the photo. Odd.... it's an iPhone 5, and on 7.1  Oh and location services are working on the phone too.
    Any suggestions appreciated and thank you in advance.  Hopefully I'm just missing something easy.
    Regards,
    Bob

    Hey there doylebob,
    It sounds like your Find my Friends invitations are not working correctly. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help resolve this issue:

    Make sure that you have the latest version of the Find My Friends app installed on your iOS device. If the app is up to date, try the steps for troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store.
    Make sure there aren't any current issues listed in System Status affecting Find My Friends.
    Make sure the issue you're seeing isn't already covered in the Help menu. Find My Friends Help is available within the Find My Friends app.
    Find My Friends 3.0 or later:
    On an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Me, then tap Help.
    On an iPad, tap the List button, tap Me, tap Info, then tap Help.
    Find My Friends 2.1.1 or earlier: Tap the Me tab, tap Account, then tap Find My Friends Help.
    Quit and restart the Find My Friends app on your iOS device. Wait a minute before reopening the Find My Friends app.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • 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.

  • Find My Friends on iPhone 4s gives constant push notification message

    I replaced my iPhone 4 with an iPhone 4s last night.  I was using Find My Friends on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad before I changed phones.  After the phone update, the app still works fine on the iPad.  But when I log into the FMF app on  the iPhone 4s I get the following message over and over. 
    Connect to iTunes to Use
    Push Notifications
    "Find Friends" notifications may
    include alerts, sounds and icon
    badges.
    There is an OK button at the bottom of the message.  When I press it, the message goes away for no more than two seconds and then comes back.  Over and over and over. 
    I have deleted the app and reinstalled it several times and I've turned notifications on and off several times.  I connected to iTUnes like it said, but I can't see anything that I need to do to turn on Push notifications.
    Anybody else seeing this?
    Joe
    BTW, if it matters, none of my iOS devices are jailbroken.  The old phone was (completely legally) running the iOS5 GM from the developer program.

    After further research and testing, it is clear this is not an issue with FInd My Friends.  The issue is with the loss of Push Notifications.  It is happening in other apps as well.  There are lots of threads on the Push Notification issue.  None of them have any solution except to reinstall iOS5.
