Upgrading to ios 13 and realizing they broke find my iPhone. It used to be I would log in to find my wife’s phone the half dozen times a day she’s forget where she put it. Now... I have to go to iCloud.com in a browser... another irony- her credentials are stored in my passwords whereas the old find my iPhone had no option but to forget credentials...
- mikestew 7y agoI just checked to make sure: yup, I still see all of my wife’s devices in Find My. So it’s not broken out of the box. You did see the new Devices tab at the bottom, right?
- mattrp 7y agoIs she on the same iCloud login or her own?
- mikestew 7y agoHer own iCloud account that is part of a Family. So yes and no? Yes, she has her own account, but no, because she’s also under the umbrella of my account (“Family”). But it has always been this way, yes? One must be under the Family umbrella to see the devices of others?
- mattrp 7y agoThat’s the distinction - we didn’t put her account under the family plan. I must truly be an edge case then!
- mikestew 7y agoI was about to ask, “how would you find her phone if she’s not in ‘The Family’?” And it occurs to me that you probably would enter her creds into Find My Phone, then find her phone. Yeah, that was broken from the start IMO. Though the current model breaks your previous flow, umm, maybe use it as intended (and the way it should have been to begin with) and just use the Family feature? Anyway, probably time for me to let this one go, I don’t even remember the original issue without backtracking up thread. :-)
