Find my iPhone

Recently I noticed that every time I look at my phone (unlock it) the icon pops up that I’m being tracked. When I look at what app is using it, it’s find my iPhone. Any idea why. Literally all day it’s tracking me.

On the previous page it explains what the purple arrow means. See the picture I attached.


It’s normal and safe. Find my iPhone is designed to help you locate your iPhone if it’s lost, missing, or stolen. So it’s going to regularly check to see where the iPhone is to update your location.
