Set up to find my friends on iPhone

Hello people, I am new to the app 'Find My Friends' and find a little less intuitive to set up; Maybe some of you can help clarify my questions.

My first question is several iPhones family connect using the same identifier Apple to iCloud services could use the 'find My Friends' to track each position of Member of the family?  We use the same Apple ID in my family and the "share my location of" selection or the check box automatically changes when one of the other iPhones is chosen to the different "origin."

Are we not supposed to sign in using the same Apple ID so that 'Find My Friends' at work?

Thanks in advance.

Antonio

Hello antoniofromrichmond,

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. I see you are trying to use find friends with an Apple ID, that you share with the family. This is a great app and I want to help make it work as expected.

For this app to work effectively, it is best that you use separate Apple ID. Here is some information on the application to find my friends:

Also, here is some additional information about Apple ID and the sharing of the family:

    I can't answer your question directly, but I can give you another idea.  "Find my iPhone" work with the iPhone?  If so, it's a better (closer in real time and usually more accurate) than to find friends.
