Find My Friends allows you to exchange REAL-TIME locations on Google maps with your friends. Location exchange is visible only to you and your selected friends. The app's unique feature is that supports four different contact domains; your Facebook/Google+ friends, your phone/tablet contacts and your LinkedIn connections. And because of that, you neither have to send any invites to your friends, nor to create an account! The moment you launch Find My Friends, you may directly exchange locations with any of your friends. ;-) To exchange locations with a friend from a social network, follow these 3 simple steps:
1. Open Find My Friends and select with whom you wish to exchange locations. A notification will be sent to the selected contact.2. Wait until your friend also opens the app, and selects you to exchange his/her location.3. As soon as a connection is established, both of you will be able to see and track each others location on Google maps.
We have developed a technique that allows seamless location exchange using all user social network profiles. Assuming that a user has logged in to Facebook, Google+, and Linkedin with Find My Friends, then others can ask for his/her location via any of these networks. For example, if you and your friend login to Facebook, Google+, and Linkedin with Find My Friends, then you can ask for his location by selecting his/her Facebook profile, and he can ask for yours via your Google+ profile.
You can also use Find My Friends to send constantly your location to close contacts (e.g. family members, spouse, good friends) even when you do not run the app.
The app is useful in cases, such as:* Find a friend / family member in case you lost each other.* Show to a friend / family member where you are, so they can find you.* Get help from a friend / family member to reach your destination with real-time instructions.
When you install Find My Friends for the first time, you can use all of its features for 10 days. After than, you can purchase a subscription extension by 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. A valid subscription provides access to:
1. Exchange locations with up to 4 friends on the map.2. Exchange unlimited messages with your friends on the map.3. See the current address of all your friends on the map.4. Continuously transmit your location to your selected close contacts.
