For this tip, you’ll need to have Find My iPhone set up. Make sure Find My iPhone is turned on, and that the Share My Location toggle is also enabled.
Remember that when you share your location with your friends, that doesn’t automatically mean their location will be shared with you. Be sure you’re both sharing locations with each other in order for it to work both ways!
Here’s how to share your location using the Find My app on your iPhone:
Open the Find My app.
Select the plus sign.
Select Share My Location.
Enter the name of the person you’d like to share and select them from the results list.
Select Send.
A menu will appear at the bottom of the screen. Select the timeframe that you’d like to share your location for.
Select OK. You’ll now see the list of people you’re sharing your location with.
How to Find Your Friends
Before you can use your Find My app to find your friends, make sure that they have followed the above steps to share their location with you.
Open Find My.
Select People.
Select the name of the person you want to locate. The map will snap to their location and you will be able to track them as they move.
It’s such a simple way to let people know where you are, whether you’re getting together with friends or just want someone to know your location for safety reasons.
