Hello, Yogramma.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


I understand that you want to know what the yellow dot with a star means in the Find My app. I'd be glad to help answer. This means that the friend is selected as a favorite: Locate a friend in Find My on iPhone


"Mark favorite friends

Favorite friends appear at the top of the People list and are marked by a star.

  1. In the People list, find the person you want to mark as a favorite.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Tap the name of the person, then tap Add [name] to Favorites.
    • Swipe left across the person’s name, then tap the star.

To remove a friend from your Favorites, swipe left and tap the star, or tap the friend, then tap Remove [name] from Favorites".


Cheers!
