Find My Friends Application
We bring you one of our tutorials in which we are going to talk about a very interesting and important native app for our devices iOS Al Like Find my iPhone, it is a function that allows us to locate our iPhone, iPad,Airpods lost, Find my friends locate our contacts' devices.
This means that it allows us to easily locate friends, colleagues, family members and thus be able to see where they are, as long as they give permission for you to "watch" them.
We use it a lot when we go somewhere with friends and don't know where a place is. This app is fantastic for it. It can also be used to find out where your children, nephews, colleagues are at any time, but always respecting privacy since we will not be able to access those locations if the other person does not want to and disables the option in the app.
How the Find My Friends app works:
The first thing we are going to tell you about is what this function of iOS is for:
- Easily locate your friends and family
- Option to temporarily share your location
- Location-based notifications
- Easy Privacy Controls
- Parental Restrictions
We have to say that Find My Friends works even when the app is in the background and is optimized to not drain your battery.
To start working with the application we must add to our contacts who have some device iOS and have installed this app.
Adding a friend is very easy. We simply have to send an invitation to the contact we want, from the "Add" button on the main screen.

Once your friend accepts the invitation from the Find My Friends app on his device, you can see his location whenever he wants to.
Your contacts can also send you a request to see your location.
On the main screen, as you can see in the image above, the contacts that allow us to access their location will appear located on the map.
By clicking on each one of them we will access your information and different functionalities such as notifications, address of your location with which we can, for example, configure notifications by location.This means that it will notify us when that person leaves or arrives at a place, for example, when a friend arrives at the bus station, your children leave school or a relative arrives at their house.
Ads by location
By clicking on "ME", at the bottom we access our settings:

If at any time we want, we can stop sharing our location. To do this, from our "ME" menu, we will deactivate the "Share my location" option.
You can also temporarily share our location with the contact you want. When sending a request from the "Add" button, the time options will appear. It will be a personal matter, choose one or the other.
