You Can Now Access Find My Friends on iCloud.com

When Apple launched Find My Friends (an app that allows you to see where your friends and family are), I thought it was the coolest feature! It's especially useful in a family like mine with 6 iPhones floating around. I can see where my kids are, and they can see where I am, at any given time. Some consider that a privacy issue, but I consider it a safety and convenience feature.

Being able to see where my family and friends are on my iPhone is great, but it sure would be nice to access it via the web on my laptop. Historically, that has not been possible, but today... everything changes!

Last week, Apple added the "Find Friends" app to their iCloud.com suite of apps. Simply visit iCloud.com and log in, then click on the "Find Friends" web app icon. That's all there is to it!

If you run a small business with drivers who are issued a company iPhone, this is a great way to tack your drivers. With the feature enabled on each iPhone, simply mount a large LED on the wall with a web browser, log in to iCloud.com and you now have a very sophisticated tracking system at less than a fraction of the cost of a traditional tracking system.
