Find my friends app not accurate and everything is up to date.

All of a sudden my find my friends app isn't working. Everything is updated. And it's only not working for one person. Is anyone else having this issue?

iPhone 6s, iOS 10.2.1

Hello,


If a location is old or inaccurate

You might not see a device's current location if it needs to update in iCloud. Wait a few minutes, then try again.

If you're signed in to Find My Friends on more than one device, you might need to check which of your devices your friends can see:

  • On an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Me, then tap your active device under Share My Location From. This choice only appears when you're currently signed in to Find My Friends on multiple devices.
  • On an iPad, tap the List button, tap Me, tap Info, then tap your active device under Share My Location From. This choice only appears when you're currently signed in to Find My Friends on multiple devices.

Friends can't see the location of your Apple Watch. They see the location of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
