Q: find my friends app works differently now with iOS 8.  I delete messages and am constantly being asked to share location....no "always share" option....

In previous iOS I shared my location with "my friends" one time, permanently in the Find My Friends app.  Now, I am being asked to share over and over--I delete messages in iMessage all the time.  I want to share my location with my friends one time, permanently.  Is this possible?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.1

    I seem to have a similar problem.  I share my location with User-A via Find My Friends.  I have a conversation with User-A via Messages.  I delete the conversation with User-A in Messages.  Suddenly, User-A no longer has permission to follow me via Find My Friends.

     

    I prefer to keep my message history in Messages clean, but do not want to revoke other users' permissions to follow me in Find My Friends each time I delete Messages conversations.

     

    Is this a bug or intended?  Either way, is there a workaround or solution, other than having A) having to keep all message history or B) constantly remember to grant users permission to follow me in Find My Friends over and over again?
