Do you value your privacy? If you do, then you might want to look away sometime soon, as Apple has just announced a new feature which will be coming to iOS 5: Find My Friends.
All privacy jokes aside, Find My Friends looks like quite an interesting feature. If you’re meeting friends and want to find them, you can ask them to turn the feature on from their iPhone, and they will become visible on a map, enabling you to find them.
You can choose from privacy settings that will allow you to only make yourself visible at a certain time, for example, if you’re out with friends for the day, and you can switch it off at anytime.
There are also parental controls available, which will allow parents to keep track of their children at all times by looking on the map to see where they are. The kids may not like this, but the parents sure as hell will…
Find My Friends will be released at the same time as iOS 5, on October 12th.
