    If you are the one using both of these iPhones, then Find my Friends is not suitable for sharing location. You should use the built-in Find my iPhone app for that.

     

    If these iPhones are used by different people, they should not be using the same Apple ID at all. If this is the case, you can see How to Stop Sharing an Apple ID and then you can use Find my Friends, once you have separate IDs.
