Best Find Friends App on Android

[Luke18]

Hello all, I recently switched from iPhone to the 2xl. Was curious what the best app is for find friends? Basically looking for something similar or better then the iPhone find friends app. My wife and I used it all the time when I had my iPhone.

Thanks,

Luke

You can go to Settings>Google>Location>Google Location Sharing, and turn that on. That will share your location with selected people, but in order for you to see your friends, they have to share their location with you. If they have an iPhone, they can't share their location with you unless they have Google Maps installed and turn on their Location Sharing: https://support.google.com/maps/answer/7326816?co=GENIE.Platform=iOS&hl=en

Thanks for the help.....but I tried Google maps and it's very inconsistent on locations being correct. Have you or anyone tried any apps that are good....like the find friends app on iPhone?

And yes my wife has an iPhone so I will need an app. Thanks

If she’s not on Android, your pretty much SOL.

OP, you could try something like Glympse https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glympse.android.glympse - it will allow you to share your location with friends/family.
If you happen to be on Verizon you can use their Message+ app - it has Glympse integrated (and is available on iOS.

If the 'find friends' application on iOS does something totally different I'm sorry - I'm not familiar with that app.
