Find friends and share your location with Find My

When Share My Location is turned on, you can share your location with friends, family, and contacts from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Find My.


Your iMac (and mine for that matter) will always be in the Devices tab. Only an iOS device, as described above, can be your location device, as reported in in the People tab on your friend's devices.
