Q: Find my friends - issue

Find my friends isn't locating friend. Friend can't locate me. I have all refresh on. All location services also. Seems to only find eachother once we are physically on the app itself. Doesn't find it whenever we want to find it ok our own. What do I do?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7

    A lot of folks reporting the same problem - this happened after the ios7 upgrade for me ...

     

    Your friend has to log in and then leave the app up and running in the back ground for now ..

     

    its not the way it use to work with ios6

    It would be really nice if Apple could give us an ETA on a fix... I and I am sure many others have become dependent on making sure our kids get from the bus stop to home in time.... I was beginning to think it was my carrier and ready to report to the FCC.... Come on Apple get with program...  Trial of Life 360 or maybe next month when we can upgrade we seriously look at Android...

    Agreed!  This is very disappointing behavior from Apple.  More "beta" software released.  iOS 7 was not ready and has lots of bugs!  Bad Apple!  (Tim... maybe ask yourself WWSD?)
