Apple’s New Find My Friends iOS App Lets You Locate Your Buddies Where Ever They Are

Apple has just announced a new iCloud app called Find My Friends.

The idea is this: a way to quickly locate your friends around you. You can easily locate friends and family, as long as they have an iPhone.

You don’t always need to share your location using Find My Friends. Simple privacy controls allow you to easily and temporarily share your location just long enough for a buddy to, say, find you at the local coffee shop.

Coming soon!
