Accuracy of the 'find friends' app.

How reliable precision is the application of "find friends"? I am tracking my niece and nephew while location they are in my care. They tell me that they are in one place, but the app 'Find friends' shows them in another location. I heard the app is not so reliable. Is this true?

It is the reliability will depend on force the GPS, WiFi and cellular signals they receive. Also, it will depend on whether or not they turn off this feature. And, like finding friends follows that on the phone, if they leave the phone somewhere, you won't know where they are, only when the phone is.

  • I would like to know where to find a friend app has been installed on my phone and who else is listed on it? I would love the history of this app on my phone for today's date, please.

    I would like to know where to find a friend app has been installed on my phone and who else is listed on it? I would love the history of this app on my phone for today's date, please. I changed my phone a couple of times, because the application was initially installed, but I can't work when it has been installed or that has first been listed on it... where I'd get that information from? I do my back ups on my laptop that uses OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.4 on iTunes. Thank you.

    Locate the app in iTunes > window Apps, select it, and press Cmd + I to get info. The file tab should show which account it was acquired on and when. Another I don't think that there is no history, that you can get. All you can see is a current list of those you follow and you allowed to follow you.

  • Degree of accuracy is to find the locations of friends?  If the location of a person is updated, the situation might be wrong or delay?

    Degree of accuracy is to find the locations of friends?  If the premises of a person is updated on my phone, could be wrong or delay of an hour or two?

    It is as accurate as the location information that becomes their phone. And which can vary wildly. GPS signals are subject to an intervention by buildings, trees, weather. The phone can get information about the location of a WiFi network that is inaccurate. Find My Friends is certainly not specific enough to be invoked in situations of life and death. Nor should it be used as "evidence" that children or spouses are lying to you.

  • New photos show in Photos app, but not in the Finder

    Hello.

    I see the problem when I try to upload new photos to a website (Wordpress, for example).

    I take a picture with my iPhone and using photo stream it will to the cloud and syncs quickly to the photo app on my mac. I see the new photo in Photos and can work with it, edit and export if I want to.

    But, when I opened a dialoge "Upload" to Safari, I don't see the new picture available to download. It takes a long time for the new available through Finder photo / Upload dialoge.

    I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that the Photos app maintains an internal state of pictures with respect to the Finder, or only periodically to update the index available to the Finder, but I don't know.

    I do not want to export each photo I take pictures and download, it

    My question, how can I speed up this process so I don't have to wait for hours at a time to download new pictures taken by my iPhone.

    Well Yes, this has bugged me too for a while now. When you use Google Inbox, I need to drag or save photos on the desktop, then point at them through Chrome, then after sending my email don't forget to delete the pictures on my desk. Very, very boring because it is so vital to my job every day.

    I hope this will be fixed soon!
