If I turn data roaming off will Find My friends still work?

Do in need to keep "Data roaming On" when using Find My Friend or Find my iPhone? This is so my colleagues can view where I am via Find My Friends

Greetings winder73,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're curious if you need to keep the option for data roaming enabled for your friends to locate you with Find My Friends.

Keeping the data roaming option enabled is not a requirement for your friends to locate your devices with Friend My Friends. However, you will want to ensure you have location services enabled on your devices for your friends to view your location. The following support article provides helpful information for using Find My Friends: About Find My Friends

Cheers!
