find my is showing my friend is somewhere in a circle no exact location

Your friend can choose to not provide precise locations. Also, if their phone does not have Wi-Fi enabled and/or has a weak GPS signal the exact location may not be identifiable.

Hello bflowers14,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're having a problem with using Find My with friends. We would be happy to help!

Have you tried removing and re-adding your friends? Also you may want to Restart your iPhone

Cheers!
