View a friend’s location with Apple Watch
The Find My Friends app is a great way to find people who are important to you and share your location with them. Friends and family members who use iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch Series 3 or later and share their locations with you appear on a map, so you can quickly see where they are. You can set notifications to alert you when friends or family members leave from or arrive at various locations. See iPhone User Guide for information about setting up the Find My Friends app on your iPhone.
