Share your location with your family.

With family sharing, you can easily share your location with your family in the Find My Friends or Messages application. You can even help your family find the lost device in Find My iPhone.

Operation mode

The home organizer sets the location sharing in the home sharing settings. When location sharing is turned on, the organizer's location will be automatically shared with everyone in the homegroup. Then each family member can choose whether to share their location. If you agree to share, your family members will see your location in Find My Friends and Messages. You can also see their locations.

In addition, after enabling location sharing, if your device is lost or stolen, you can ask family members to use Find My iPhone to help you locate and retrieve this device.
