Ever since I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 Find my Friends has been missing the "temporary event" feature. Did apple quietly retire this? I have uninstalled app and reinstalled and it's still not there.

For better or worse (and it is worse in my opinion) they have moved this feature...at least in part...to the Messages app.
While looking at a "conversation" in the Messages app, click "Details" in the upper righthand corner. Click "Share My Location" to share you location with members of the conversation. Your options are "Share for One Hour," "Share Until End of Day," or "Share Indefinitely."
No one else in my family has upgraded their phone to iOS 8. I am under the impression it only works with other people using iOS 8, but I haven't gotten it to work with anyone, yet.

Is it possible to get a comment from Apple regarding this issue?
I'm missing this feature too! I understand they added it to Messages too now, but you're not able to setup fences and notifications there, which is what I was using the app for exactly 😟
I find it also very confusing since on the Apple website it still states Temporary events, see bottom of: Find My Friends: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support
I hope they 'fix' this soon.
