Apple Announces Find My Friends App
October 4, 2011
Apple announced a new app called Find My Friends. The app will be a part of Apple's iCloud service and lets users share their locations with each other, similar to competitors Foursquare and Google Latitude. In addition, Apple has added features that allows users to make location sharing temporary, so that it is automatically disabled at the end of your family outing to a theme park, for example. Apple has also included parental restrictions and other privacy controls.
FInd My Friends will arrive via iOS 5 and the new iCloud service, both which debut October 12.
