Find my Friends gone after iOS 13 update

Find my friends icon is gone after update. I understand it’s changed to just “find my” but do I need to go the ap store and download it? How do I find it?

no, you do not need to download it. It is is pre-intalled with ios 13. As has been said, its either where you used to have the Find My iPhone app, or in a folder called extras.

If you had Find my iPhone, the name changed to Find My and was automatically updated when the upgrade occurred. The Find Friends and Find My iPhone have been merged into one... yes, without any notification to the iPhone holder.

I have an iPhone x with 13.1.3. I understand that Find My Phone has been replaced by Find My...BUT it is not available on my phone. The above instructions to go to Settings->Notification->Find My doesn't work. It's not listed there. When I search my iPhone for "Find My", it's not there. The ONLY place I see any sign of Find My is Settings->[My Name]->Find My where I can turn on the functionality to share my location and identify my phone is the location. It works for my people to find me, but I want to be able to FIND THEM. That was the valuable functionality in the Find My Phone app. Is it possible to get THAT functionality on my iPhone X?

For all of those readers who are experiencing this same problem and haven't received the help they are requesting, I have found a workaround. From your iPhone, you can use Safari to log into iCloud.com. From there, you can open the Find My Phone app which also allows you to find your friends. It's a bit clunky, but at least I can see where you people are... Hope that helps!

I'm trying to remember what happened, having tried a few things. But I think it was this: after making it TO utilities, I searched for Find My in the search bar, and it showed up in a utilities folder that I either created myself or was part of Apple. (I'm not sure because there were apps I am sure I put in there.)

Same thing happened to me after I updated my OS. If you're like me and don't have an EXTRAS folder...search through ALL your folders. I finally found the FIND MY widget in my TOOLS folder. Because the Find My Friends app got combined with the Find My iPhone app, it might be located in the folder that had your Find My iPhone app. Hope this helps somebody out.

I think it’s important that Apple know that this was a real problem for many people. It’s not that the user couldn’t find the app. That’s easy. You just search for it or scan around and find it in a folder. My problem was that it was NOT THERE. I promise. I know how to use my phone. After a few more updates, it eventually showed up and works fine.

The name has changed and the last word of the app has been removed.

Find My is the new name for those apps.

Look on home screen for new app called find my and tap on it and choose allow. It’s green with blue dot that fans up. Combines find a phone and find a friend

I Figured it out the icon changed it’s green with a blue circle in it it’s the same thing at all your contacts are there

It's now part of Find My.

But they haven’t replaced the widget which is how my family group used it.

I understand the reason to consolidate services but it shouldn’t have been released before the app was finished imho.
