I didn't really start using Apple's Find Friends App until a couple of years ago, when I was traveling with a bunch of friends. The majority of this particular group are Apple users, and we all decided to connect via Find Friends, so that we could find each other easily on our trip.
Since then, I've connected with a few family members and my husband, just to be able to find each other when necessary.
Fast Forward to this morning: one of my friends from that trip over two years ago emailed me from her office, saying: "Hey Annie, I THINK I left my cell phone home this morning, but don’t want to run home at lunch if I left it somewhere else. Can you check and see if it shows up at my house?"
So I checked, and it showed up, but not at her house. I emailed her back and said "Hate to tell you this, but it shows you on Kemper Road.... is that where you are?"
She emailed me back and confirmed that it was where she was, but she had torn apart her purse, looked between the seats of her van, etc.. and couldn't find it. So I emailed her back and said, sit tight, I'll call your phone.
After 3 rings, she answered, somewhat sheepishly. Rather than sticking her phone in her purse, she had stuck it in the outer pocket of her lunch bag!!! It had been with her the entire time!
She was so relieved, and begged me to never delete her from Apple's Find Friends App!!! I promised her I wouldn't!!! And I also have to remind her out to use find my iPhone as well, in case she couldn't get ahold of me!
