Why does find my friend not work properly?

I

iMore Question

Ever since updated our iPhones to iOS 10 find my friends app does not notify me anymore when my child leaves & arrives to school or leaves & arrives home as it is set up to do. I have removed the app from both our phones and reinstalled it. I have also went in her app and reset all the locations I want to be notified when she leaves and arrives. That works for like 10 mins but keep resending me notifications when she leaves and arrives and then once she turns off her phone in school and turns it on when leaving school on the bus I do not get anymore notifications. Can Apple please fix this. I got her an iPhone because I really liked that I can keep track of her especially when she not with me.

If you cannot get the friends app to work, you could always use the "find my iPhone" app to track the device. Even if you have different Apple ID; if this is the case you simply need to setup family sharing and it should work perfectly. Hopefully the app starts working again.
