Find My App
Friends and Gadgets
The Find My Friends and Find My app have merged into a single app, called
‘Find My’. With it, you can keep track of your friends’ whereabouts, and also
track down a missing Mac, iOS device, Apple Watch or AirPods. It’s great if
you’re arranging a meeting, or finding lost or stolen Apple gear.

The Find My app is divided into two sections, represented
by tabs at the top of the sidebar; People and Devices.
Unsurprisingly, the People tab is for finding friends and family who
are sharing their locations. If it isn’t already selected, tap it.3
As is usual, you can tap the + sign to the right and select
a person from your Contacts app. Add as many people
as you wish, and tap the Send link. Then you can choose
whether to share for an hour, the rest of the day, or indefinitely.2
To start sharing your location with friends or family members,
tap the Share My Location link at the foot of the sidebar. You
should then enter the name, Apple ID email, or phone number of
the person with which you want to share locations.4
The people with whom you shared your location can now
see exactly where you are, that is the blue spot which
you can see on the map. You can pinch and spread to zoom
into and out of on this map, just like you can in the Maps app.The People Tab
