Find my friends, the app of the week in the App Store

Find my friends

This time the award for the application of the week stays at home and is that Apple has decided to grant this title to its newcomer, Find my friends.

For those who were not attentive in previous days, Find my friends allows you to find our acquaintances and relatives in a simple way using an iPhone, an iPad or an iPod Touch.

To use the application, it is essential to have iOS 5 installed and to login with our Apple ID. From there, we will simply have to send a request to the person whose location we want to know and they have to accept it so that their location appears on the screen of our iPhone.

Find My Friends main features:

  • Find friends and family easily
  • Temporarily share option
  • Simple privacy controls
  • Parental restrictions
  • Free for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

You can download Find My Friends for free by clicking on the following link:

    Hello everyone,

    I hardly ever comment, but I read the blog daily ... I wanted to thank you for the great job you do ... More than once you have saved me from a hurry ... ^ _ ^!

    I wanted to ask you a question about this application, even at the risk of looking a bit noob… Is the location performed by this application using GSM triangulation or is it necessary to have GPS activated continuously?

    Thanks in advance
    Regards!

      I guess it depends on the device. The iPod Touch does not have GPS so there is no such possibility of location. The iPhone does have GPS so for greater precision, Apple will use it. Greetings

        Hello Nacho,

        The iPod touch also does not have the possibility of a 3G connection, therefore it could not make use of the GSM triangulation either ...

        Actually my question is that if you do not have the location activated on the iphone, this application would work? Obviously with the location it would be more precise, but if the GSM triangulation were enough, for me it would be more than enough… ^ _ ^!

        Regards!

          It does not offer triangulation by GSM but it locates you without problems. My iPad 2 does not have GPS and just by being connected to the WI-FI, in Find My iPad the exact address appears with zero error.
          .
          Like all apps that use location, iOS will ask you. Depending on the device, it will rely on one thing or another and if it has GPS, do not hesitate to use it (even if the first approximate location is done by triangulation).

    Hi, do you know if I can install the Find Friends app on an Iphone 4s? I have not been able to do it because I do not have the IOS version you ask for. Thanks
