    All Devices Miss the "Find My Friends" Widget? Use the Shortcut.

    I was disappointed that Apple had removed the "Find My Friend" widget and didn't replace it with a "Find My" widget. But, in the Shortcuts app, on the Gallery page, near the top, you should see a "Shortcuts from Your Apps" section with recommendations including "Find (person)". This seems to...

    Find My Friends App - Orange outline around friend's icon

    Does anyone know what an orange outline/border around a friend's icon in the Find My Friends app means? I'm not talking about the orange shadow which gives their approximate location, but rather an orange line running directly around their picture. In this image, the orange outline would be...

    Find My Friends Based on Apple Watch?

    This is what I really wanted. My son is special and drifts at times when we're at a theme park. It would be great if he had an Apple Watch 2 and I could find him based on his Apple Watch's location. I know that this would require WiFi, but some theme parks have WiFi, and if push comes to...
