Q: Trouble with Find my friends and a new iPhone
I've tried to activate find my friends on a new iPhone (my mothers new iPhone) and it won't seem to come on. The icon isn't available on the new iPhone and if I go to the iCloud and click on the cloud download icon, it greys out but won't download it.
I've also tried going to her ipad and setting it to the new phone under the Find my friends app and it'll take the change over to the new iphone, but there's still no icon on the new iPhone and thus no app (it seems) on the new iPhone.
I'm sort of stymied here...any help would be appreciated.
Please be gentle, it's my first time posting.
Thanks for the time....
Edit: It should be noted that I've also tried to get the phone to install it or activate it by going to one of the apple pages with the link to the app and clicking on the download icon there, but that didn't work either.
In addition, I've tried to head into the settings and making sure it has access to her contacts, but it hasn't populated on that page as it hasn't requested access to her contacts on the new iPhone yet.
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.3.3, null

If it is in Spotlight search, then it is on the phone. Do you see a folder name to the right of the app? It is on one of the home screens if it is in the search.
