Sep 20, 2013 8:41 AM in response to Alan357by joesam33,I found this post after losing secondary iCloud account support for multiple device "Find my iPhone." We used a secondary iCloud account to locate the entire family's iDevices in one place, and Apple removed that functionality in iOS7. Someone suggested using Find my Friends, which seems like a reasonable alternative, but I'm having hte same problem you describe. Before iOS7, were you able to locate devices that were not open to the app? If so, I hope Apple decides to fix this.

Sep 20, 2013 8:55 AM in response to Alan357by joesam33,But did it work for you prior to iOS7? I am curious as to whether this is an iOS7 bug that can be fixed, or whether Apple intends this behavior.

Sep 20, 2013 11:20 AM in response to Alan357by joesam33,I can confirm this behavior. Find my Friends will locate any of my devices that is NOT running iOS7, even if the app is not running, and the phone is asleep.
Apple, please fix this.
