Q: Alerts from Find My Friends
Why am I unable to receive alert from Find My Friends when I set it to notify me when a person has arrived or left a location?
It's worked fine for me with all people in the list except for one. I've tried fixing that problem on that person's phone but cannot figure it out.
Has anyone experience that problem as well?
All of the iPhones are installed with iOS 9.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.1

There could be a couple of things. From their phone, you need to make sure they have these options enabled:
When you open Find Friends, tap "Me" in the bottom and make sure "Share My Location" is checked. Double check "Share My Location From" shows their iPhone. Then tap Done.
You also need to tap YOUR name on their phone, tap More... and "Share Indefinitely." If you only see, "Stop Sharing My Location," tap that, then try again and make sure they share indefinitely.
Also make sure they are sharing their location in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Share My Location (make sure it is checked; Location Services also needs to be checked.) Under Location Services, there is a list of apps. Find Friends needs to say, "While Using."
