(Pocket-lint) - Apple's Find My app enables you to track your friends and family's location. The person you want to track has to have an iPhone too, and they have to accept your request to share their location with you, but once setup, you can track your family or friend's iPhone at any time. Show
The feature was originally called Find My Friends, but the Find My Friends and Find My iPhone apps were combined in 2019 with the launch of iOS 13 into what is now called Find My. Here is how to setup tracking for a friend or family's iPhone, as well as how to track an iPhone once setup. Apple  Get free Pixel Buds A-Series with Pixel 6a order By Pocket-lint International Promotion ยท 21 July 2022 For a limited time, Google will throw in the Pixel Buds A-Series free with your Pixel 6a. To set up notifications, follow the steps below:
If you select 'Notify Me', you can choose between '[contact] Arrives', '[contact] Leaves' or [contact] Is Not At', followed by your contact's current location, your location or a 'New Location' and the frequency you want the notifications, which is either 'Only Once' or 'Every Time'. Choosing '[contact] Is Not At' changes the options slightly. The location options are the same, but you can then select a time frame and the days you want to be notified. For example, you could setup a notification to alert you every time a friend is not at work during the week. If you select 'Notify [contact]', you can then choose between 'I Arrive' and 'I Leave', followed by your current location, their current location or 'New Location', and the frequency you want the notications to be sent, which again is a choice of 'Only Once' or 'Every Time'. Once you have selected your choices, you'll need to tap on 'Add' in the top right corner. When you are setting up a notification for yourself, the contact you are choosing to be notified about will get an alert to tell them you have set up a notification.
