Ever since the update to ios7y find my friends app never notifies me when one of my contacts arrives or leaves
I've reinstalled it. I've kept it running in the background etc
Not liking the new update at all. But would like up know how to fix the notify function on this app
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.3
That was the first place I checked out no fix or help there. But thanks
Any updates or fixes on this, I have the same issue. Hasn't worked since the iOS7 update it will notnotify me when someone leaves or arrives at a location.
I finally got this to work. Here's my procedure (and it's not ideal).
On all phones, background run must be ON for FMF.
On my phone:
Delete app
Reboot phone
On my wife's phone (yeah, this is why it's not ideal):
Delete app
Reboot phone
Reinstall app on both phones
Sign in on both.
Setup geofence via Notify Me when (wife) leaves home on my phone
Setup geofence via Notify Me when (husband) leaves home on her phone
Et voila.
Notifications started working again.
So, it's not ideal because it requires your target to delete, reboot and reinstall/signin for this fix to work. That said, if you're using it to track your kids when they're out on dates or whatever, you should have access to use this workaround.
Hope this helps!!

For me just following the instructions in the Find My Friends app's built-in help worked (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4008). In particular, I didn't realize that the Find My Friends app has to be running on the target phone and can't have been force closed. (I wonder if that's the same with a reboot then.)
This seems to have changed from iOS 6. It's a stupid change.
Find my friends notify me has not worked since the ios7 update. Help
