Can the location given my Find My Friend be in gps coordinates

Sometimes I am in a local US National Forest and I'd like my friends to know where I am located by GPS coordinates. We use Find My Friend (Find My) on our iPhones and it just puts the icon on a map - not gps coordinantes.


Thank you...

Hi rtcary2,


Thanks for posting your question about the Find My app. I understand you have a question about the data you're able to share from the app.


What you describe does sound normal; Find My would share your location as you describe rather than as GPS coordinates: Set up and use Find My Friends. You can always send your suggestion to Apple here if you'd like: Product Feedback. You might also check to see if the App Store offers anything comparable: Download apps and games from the App Store


Have a good one.
