Jan 23, 2016 10:42 PM in response to sbermanby ozRob,Thanks for the quick response, the advice at the provided link is:
- Open the App Store or Mac App Store.
- Go to the Purchased screen on your iOS device or the Purchases tab on your Mac.
- Find the app and choose Download. You'll see a message telling you if a compatible version is available. Tap Confirm to install this version.
If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App Store or Mac App Store.
I tried searching the App Store on my Mac but it didn't list "Find my Friends", perhaps by default it only lists Mac applications if you're searching from a Mac. A search of iTunes showed the application, but since I've downloaded the latest version through the Update utility, the only option was "Install", which fails due to being incompatible.
Finally I searched the App Store on my iPhone, which gave me the option of installing an older version.
So the answer is to search for applications in the App Store using the device you want to install the application on, then select "Install". If an older, compatible version is available it should be offered.

That's interesting. I performed these three steps and see the following:
Yes, I have iOS 9.2.1 on an iPhone 6S, but indeed I have removed my Find My Friends that had been furnished by the App Store because this app is now included with the base iOS system (much like Stocks, Weather, etc.). The above displays in the "Not on my iPhone" area.
