    Locate a friend in Find My on Mac

    After you start following a friend, you can see their location, add them to favorites, label their location, and more.

    Open Find My for me

    See your friend’s location

    1. Go to the Find My app on your Mac.

    2. Click People, then select a name.

      • If your friend can be located: They appear on a map so you can see where they are. As they move, their location is continuously updated.

        If you see a blue circle, the location is approximate.

      • If your friend can’t be located: You see “No location found” below their name.

        Make sure they’re sharing their location and that Location Services is turned on.

      • If you aren’t following your friend: You see “Can see your location” below their name. Ask to follow a friend to see their location.

    You can also get notified when friends change their location.

    Mark favorite friends

    Favorite friends appear at the top of the People list and are marked by a star.

    1. Go to the Find My app on your Mac.
