'Find My Friends', the new Apple controversy

This week 'Find My Friends', an application developed by Apple, has seen the light next to' Cards' and the new iOS 5.0. Through it we can know the exact location of other users who are using the application and who have authorized us to know their whereabouts. However, this tool is not without controversy, as it can sometimes invade privacy.

A reader MacRumors He posted on the forums that he had purchased an iPhone 4S for his wife and that he enabled Find My Friends without her knowing. That same day his wife told him that she was going to see a friend at her house. The husband used Find My Friends to find the location of the new iPhone 4S and when he saw where his wife was, he could tell that she was lying to him and was actually with another boy. The thing is not going to end well. This is what the same guy was saying on the forum:

«Thank you Apple, thank you App Store, thank you all. These beautiful treasure trove of screen shots going to play well when I meet her a $ at the lawyer's office in a few weeks. »

A controversy that is being given much importance by the fact that the application is signed with the name of Apple. But we have to remember that there were already dozens of applications in the App Store to know the geolocation of our contacts.

    Well, it seems like a very good option to me, maybe some of my friends will stop getting lost so much when trying to see us…. Hahaha!

    Also, if we have both "due" or "improper" use, you have the option to block or accept ... or not ???

    Well on the other hand without cons with the bad uses that can be given, it would also serve to remove the odd "thorn" that you have with your partner! Although be careful, it may be returned to you 😛 Hahaha !!

    Well, there should be no controversy because there were already programs that did the same for a long time and no one has complained. Also how to complain about the cachoputa!

    This is nothing new, her boyfriend could have enabled FindmyIphone in the event that Findmyfriend did not exist and her partner would have been caught anyway.

    Here the only controversy is that the woman in question is a horny! LOL!!

    If it had been the other way around ... surely the news would have been: «Excellent iPhone application that allows a good woman to discover the infidelity of her partner's disgusting macho»
    So is the world ...

    Still the earless banner that he has as a woman, will be outraged because they have spied on her ...

    This is a very clear fake. In any case, he would have little to do in court. It is forbidden to put a pager (of whatever type) to a person without their consent. Well, this is older than the cough, but Apple has the knack of making old new. Steve was the greatest, no question = D

    Come on, using find my iPhone would have achieved the same since the mobile had been bought by him

    For me there is nothing wrong, most people do not know how the iPhone works or what the jailbreak is for, they use it as fashion and nothing more.
    If you activate the tracking options you are not doing anything wrong, especially in these cases because if you have a clean cu ... you do not have to worry, but if you are a fox or a fox.
    To pay the consequences.
    Now think about how many of your partners were at work and they are not lying, the location is that butooo you will never know that with your co-worker or partner they are in the photocopy room and they are bombarded.
    Or the simplest of all they turn off your cell phone during work hours.
    Super technology ended only with "power off" hahaha
    Moral: If they want to screw you, they'll screw you, period.

    I do not think that anything happens through the application, by that same rule there would also have to be controversy with the application to find your iPhone if someone steals it, I know the username and password of my wife in case someone steals her phone or what He loses being able to do what we all know and so I can also know where he is, what happened is that the woman of this type is a guide ... not to say anything more clear.

    Google Latitude appeared about a year ago for the iPhone, and it did (and does) exactly the same thing. The controversy jumps now as it could have jumped a year ago, as it could have in a Galaxy SII or any other.

    So next time to happy smartphone users: get acquainted with the device, understand it, and don't go out on the street with it the way you wouldn't get on a fighter jet and rip it off for a ride. without knowing how to pilot it. No matter how much "Apple" I put in the cockpit.
