Can I view someone’s location an hour ago on the find my app

Hi Punkie1214,

The Find My app allows you to see your friend's location in real time. There isn't a way to view their previous locations. You can receive a notification when a friend leaves a location or arrives. Check out the steps below for details, which are found in the article viewed before posting your question.

Find people and share your location with Find My - Apple Support

Share location-based notifications

Starting in iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur, you can set up recurring location-based notifications. This lets you know if someone has arrived at or left a location, or isn't at a particular place during a specific time window. 

Get notified when a friend arrives at, leaves, or isn't at a location

1. Open the Find My app and select the People tab.

2. Select the person that you want to share notifications with.

3. Scroll down and under Notifications, tap Add.

4. Tap Notify Me to get notified of a friend's location change.* Tap Notify Friend to notify a friend of your location change. 

5. Under When, select Arrives, Leaves, or Is Not At. If you're sharing your location change, select I Arrive or I Leave. 

6. Under Location, tap to select your current location, or tap New Location to select a different location. 

7. Under Frequency, select Only Once or Every Time.

Take care.

can I view their location and hour ago

Not exactly what you are asking about, but possibly.....IF......the current status of the phone is "offline", Find My might display a Last Known Location for the last 24 hours or so.....or it might not. You cannot specify an option that would show the location an hour ago though.

After 24 hours, the phone will show as "offline" if the battery has run down or the phone does not have a connection to the Internet where it is currently located. If that is the case, all that you can do is keep checking a few times each day using Find My to see if the status of the phone has changed.

Otherwise, if the phone does appear on the Find My map, it will display the current location at the current time. You cannot "see" where the phone was an hour ago.
