Switching accounts on Find my iPhone

Hi:) I woke up this morning to my iPhone updating. I was excited to see what the new update was like! Everything is really cool, the only thing that I have a question about is Find my iPhone. My dad and I have separate Apple I.D.s, but we like to log into to each others Find my iPhone accounts to see where each other is. Plus if he loses his iPad or something, I can help him find it. We do not want to share our location with each other via "Find my Friends," because I share an Apple I.D. with my sister and it just gets really complicated. Basically, I am asking if there is still a way to log out of Find my iPhone and log into a different account?

Thank you!

Now you can do that in Safari. Head to iCloud. com there and log in with your dad's Apple ID or yours on his device.

For whatever reason, apple removed an option to switch accounts in Find My app.

But you can suggest a change here: Apple - Feedback

Yup, there's even a link in the "Me" tab of the new Find My app that takes you to the icloud.com website to do it.
