Why did my iphone "ping" (from Find My iPhone) but NOBODY in my family pinged me??

I'm worried that something is wrong. My iPhone sounded the Find My iPhone pinging sound, but nobody in my family did it. How could this have happened? Thoughts?

Ping my kids iPad from my iphone I used to be able to ping my kids iPads when they lost them in the house and play a sound so they could find them. I have all the “find my” options enabled and I can find them at the address they are at, but can no longer seem to be able to play a sound so they can find their iPads when lost. Any advice??

I use to be able to ping my son’s iPhone through the Find My IPhone app. Now it seems I can only ping my phone. Did you remove that feature? I use to be able to ping my son’s iPhone through the Find My IPhone app. Now it seems I can only ping my phone. Is this feature no longer available? It was helpful when family members misplaced their phones while in silent mode.

Accuracy of find my friends So I’ve been trying to figure this out because it just doesn’t make sense. My husband pinged at a location 0.9 miles away from his supposed actual location. It was very pin point to a house on a street we don’t travel through but is close in proximity to an area he travels in. The first time he pinged there he was supposedly still at work, but the second time he pinged at that location he was on his way home from work . The second time he pinged he said maybe it was because he was close to that proximity on the way home, but if anyone understands me, why would he have pinged there the first time if he was still at work? I’m a bit confused and don’t want to launch a whole investigation on this if it’s just a wasted of time and energy in the wrong person. He’s cheated before which is why we have find my friends enabled.

Perhaps you should change your iCloud password.
