View a friend’s location with Apple Watch Ultra
The Find People app is a great way to find people who are important to you and share your location with them. If friends and family members use iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch Ultra, and share their locations with you, they appear on a map, so you can quickly see where they are. You can set notifications to alert you when friends or family members leave from or arrive at various locations. See the iPhone User Guide for information about setting up the Find My app on your iPhone.
Note: Find People may not be available in all regions.
