Q: Find my friends app not working

I have tried steps as suggested by Chris and the application is sill not working Thanks

J'ai malheureusement le meme problème.. J'essaie la solution de Chris et je croise les doigts....

Non, ça ne fonctionne pas (((((((

This was happening to me also, I think I fixed it like this.  Delete your"friends" from the app, then request them again and once they accept it seems to work again.

I tried that too and it did not make any difference or fix the issue.

I too have discovered that with iOS 7 the find my friends app has to be running in order that one is seen.

There are so many reasons why this is bad, Apple needs to listen to parents on this matter.

I have submitted my complaint to Apple

Good luck with that - Apple doesn't seem to care.

I'm not sure what to say. Neither one of us has had a problem since we both updated the Background App Refresh. I forced closed the app, had my son do the same thing and it works. We both closed the app last night and I checked in this morning and it is still working fine, I'm sorry you cannot get it working. I have no other suggestions.

There is definitely a bug  in the find my friends app since the iOS7 update.  Not working for our iphones.

There are several threads about the find my friends app not working since iOS7 update.

I don't see how the app is working the way you state. Even the in app help says the following: If Background App Refresh is turned on, but you quit Find My Friends via the multitasking interface, location updates won't be sent to your friends until you open the app again.

This is a change from the older Find My Friends. This the way Apple has it set up now. The location will NOT be updated if the app is completely quit. It must be RUNNING in the background.

The only reason this works it because the contact gets the nofication, it opens the app and sends you their location after you accept it. It never updated again for me for anyone I tried to readd, even if they left the app running in the background. For some reason this only is an issue with people on the 5 and 5s, I can still see people on iOS 7 with a 4's and 4s.

I bet Apple has caused a lot of unwarranted stress between kids and their parents, and relationships for people being accused of "hiding" with this failure.

Chris - is it still working for you tonight?  Do you have the iphone 5?   My son deleted and reinstalled the app and it worked fine for about 12 hours and then quit again. 

Do you have the iPhone 5?

My son has the 5 and I have the 4S. It worked this afternoon, I'm checking now as I type. And @Ib2m, we do not have Find My Friends set up for Notifications, so that would not apply to us. I just checked and it located my son within a minute.,

Try this , Open find My Friends , Click on the Me option on the bottom, then choose account at the top.  Under Active device  pick the correct device , it should say XYZ's iphone ( this device)
