Find My Friends

Can you share your location from your Apple Watch instead of your iPhone? Yes! Your watch knows your location whether you have GPS and Cellular, or just GPS services, and with the Find People app that comes installed on your watch, you can send your location directly from your wrist instead of fiddling with your iPhone while you're out and about. I've used it a few times when I was out walking and didn't want to have to deal with my iPhone while also holding onto my dog's leash, and it was quick and simple. If you have an Apple Watch with GPS+Cellular, you can even do this if you've left your iPhone at home! We'll show you how to send location information to a friend or family member using your Apple Watch.

I go for a lot of solo hikes and even go camping on my own sometimes. When I go, I remember the golden rule of solo exploration: always let someone know where you're going. So how do I share my location using my iPhone? The Find My app makes this extremely simple, and gives my exact location wherever I am, just in case. The best part is that I can share it with anyone I choose to share it with, but it's not visible to others. This article will show you exactly how to share your location with someone using the Find My app.

The iPhone Find My app is a great tool to find a misplaced, lost, or even stolen iPhone. While it is most commonly used to locate your own devices, you can also find someone else’s iPhone using this feature. The new Find My app allows you to help a friend find their iPhone, since it now cleverly combines the Find My iPhone and Find My Friends functions that Apple released previously.

Location services on iPhone allows your apps to do all kinds of things, such as give you directions from your Current Location to your destination or track your jogging route with gps. You can also choose the specific apps that have access to your location information so you aren’t wasting battery or giving away more privacy than you need to. While location services on iPhone is pretty fundamental to a lot of the available functions, you can choose to turn off location services altogether. Whether you decide to turn location services on or off is entirely up to you and how you use your iPhone—we’ll go over both. Here’s how to turn location services on or off on iPhone.

Apple's free Find My Friends app allows you to track the location of friends and family members who have given you permission. The feature probably works best for keeping track of teenagers running around town, and Siri is happy to help you locate them.
