Sep 23, 2012 1:11 AM in response to Aeroscoutby Tumberry,Hi Apple Support,
I have the same issue, my wife has ios5, but upgraded Find Friends and her notify me works. As for me i upgraded to IOS 6 with upgraded Find friends, but notify me option is engraved.
Pls help !........ i can notify myself to others though. !
Both of us own an iPhone 4. If it wasnt compatible then it shouldn't have worked on both !
Awaiting your reply eagerly !!!
Thanks,!

Sep 23, 2012 3:30 AM in response to Tumberryby Anirog,[quote]I was having problems too, but I think I've figured it out. In order for it to work you have to have Passcode enabled on both phones. When Passcode is enabled you don't have to sign in to Find My Friends. I have my phone locked with Passcode and when I click on me the notify feature is available, my husband's phone isn't Passcode locked, when I click on notify it says not available. So I'm going to set up Passcode on his phone tonight and test my theory. I'll let ya know if that's the key.[quote]

I tried it with my brothers iphone 4 & my 4S running iOS 6 & latest find friends app, after this I got alerts.
Have you tried signing out then signing in on both phones. On me page press "Account" button top right press "Sign Out"

Sep 23, 2012 9:59 AM in response to Aeroscoutby Aeroscout,I think I have gotten this to work by deleting Find Friends application from my iPhone then reinstalling it. I am now receiving notifications from my family when they leave or arrive at a place. Please try and let me know if it worked for you too. Good Luck!

Sep 23, 2012 10:10 AM in response to Aeroscoutby TheKinkyboy,Come on guys, who do you think you are talkin to? My iPhone is a 4s it is locked by secure pass and I have deleted the app and install it from scratch, and it won't notify me, I am telling you it is since I upgrade to iOS 6. My boyfriend has an iPhone 4 iOS 5 and I'm telling you he can receive notifications when I leave and arrive. So please don't come on with silly things like sign out and sign back in cuz I have even restore the localization settings and the phone as well.

Location based alerts (requires iOS 6)
Because you are running iOS 6 for your wife it works but she is running 5.11 so you can't set up an alert for her. I hope that's right anyway good luck
