Find friends not working with ios7

iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My Friends

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4008

I went over the steps above and all my setting are correct including background updates... iOS7 update seems to have killed the ability to find friends unless the friend has the app open all the time... I can only see my friends who HAVE NOT updated to iOS7.

This is obviously a problem because most of people I know dont leave apps open in an effort to conserve battery life.

I sure hope Apple fixes this...

The only solution that I've found so far, is just to leave the app running on the background. Also make sure that "Background App Refresh" under the General Settings is turn on.... I agree very annoying!!

Please count this complaint TIMES FOUR. One for each iPhone. We have two iPhone 4s and two iPhone 5s. FIND FRIENDS was working fine on all four until the upgrade to iOS 7. PLEASE fix the bug9s) and update this tired old looking app!

We should all file bad reviews on the app in the App store. Can we do bad reviews of iOS7, too? It's so buggy. I've found at least five major bugs (calendar/ics subscriptions, camera crashing, facetime calls locking you out of controls, Find my Friends no longer working, and contact information being "scrambled" on the iOS 7 device (but fine in the cloud). BAD APPLE!

Yes, I am definately having this issue. With one of my friends, the FmF app works when we text or call each other while the app is up, but not before. Did Apple neglect to update their apps?

Yes, I am having this exact problem across a spectrum of apple devices..an iphone 5, and iphone 4S and also an ipad (latest, retina display)

Ever since I have downloaded the ios 7 on these 3 devices, the app - find my friends have completed stopped working - it just goes into an infinite loop of "locating" - whereas the 3 could be all in the same place sharing the same WiFi.....

PLEASE HELP !

Everyone,

Keep posting reviews in the AppStore for FindMyFriends. It is almost approaching to the lowest 1 star rating (after scoring 5 stars in the past). You can post your reviews from your iOS device (App Store) or via iTunes.

The more reviews the users do, the faster they will notice. I really doubt Apple Dev team reads this forums.

Same problem here, even after I set my son's phone up a a brand new phone (fun!).

I suggest we all submit a bug request, there is no way Apple will know unless we tell them. They do not always notice these messages in communities.

Any response? or is it too early to ask?

It works again!! Apple heard us!!

Yes !!!!!

I agree. All of a sudden, friends who couldn't be seen are. I am going to wait a bit before being convinced. I am wondering if 7.0.2 was the fix, or something on their end.
