Apple has released an update to its iOS app, Find My Friends. A slightly tweaked user interface for searches and notifications based on proximate location are included in the update, which brings the app up to version 2.1.
With the new Find My Friends version, the app’s “Notify Me” page now features a customizable boundary, or geofencing, option that can be expanded or contracted around a located iOS device. Users can adjust the monitored area around a device by selecting the “Change Location” button, which resets the geofencing threshold to allow for more accurate location-based notifications.
Users can select and manipulate the circle that represents the geofence around a tracked device, giving a bit more customization to the set threshold.
The notification pages user interface has also been tweaked to show a thumbnail image from Apple Maps that shows the device’s current location.
Find My Friends is a Universal app that runs on both the iPhone and iPad, and is available FREE in the App Store. [DIRECT LINK]
