Find My no longer displays complete address of friends following 27.0.1 update

After the 27.0.1 update, Find My doesn’t display my friends’ complete address. I’m using iPhone 15 and have cleared caches, turned location services on/off, deleted/reinstalled Find My app.

If you click the 3 dots in the upper right corner it reveals the complete address.

People often remember things differently than they actually were. Find My has never shown an exact address on the Find Friends Page. But if their location is noted in their contact on your phone and uou tap directions it gives you the option to choose the exact address in directions, which uses Apple Maps.

Telling only other users on a user to user only forum won't get you anything. If you think Apple needs to fix something (I still is working differently in iOS 27), tell Apple what you think they need to fix. You can use this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple


And check out this link from Apple about Find My --> Locate a friend in Find My on iPhone - Apple Support

Not every issue an individual encounters on their device can be attributed to an iOS update. iOS 27 or later may have coincided with what you are experiencing, but that does not mean the issue was triggered by iOS. Coincidence in timing is not, by itself, evidence of causation.

If the update itself were the root cause, then every device running that same version of iOS would exhibit the identical problem. In such a scenario, the forums would be flooded with countless posts reporting the same malfunction, creating an unmistakable wave of complaints that no one could possibly overlook.

The absence of such widespread reports strongly indicates that the issue is not a general, system-wide problem with iOS 27 or later, but rather something specific to the individual device, its configuration, installed apps, settings, hardware, or another interacting factor.

In short: iOS 27 or later may be a coincidence in timing, but there is no basis to conclude that iOS itself triggered the problem simply because the issue appeared after the update.

On my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 27.0.1, the Find My app displays the complete address of people whose locations I can view, along with their location on the map. This makes it easier to identify the exact location of a person rather than relying solely on the map pin or a general geographical area.


The address information is displayed within the Find My app, making it convenient to identify the street or area where the person is located. However, the level of address detail may vary depending on the person's actual location and the availability of map data.


Please note: If either device is not connected to the internet, the address information or updated location may not be displayed as expected. The information shown may depend on the availability and freshness of the location data. Find My may still display the last known location, if available, but it might not reflect the person's current location.


In short, Find My provides both a visual representation of a person's location on the map and the corresponding address information, making location sharing more informative and useful.

Addresses were never exact. I can see my family member who lives at no 18 on a certain street in London, but it varies from 16 to 20 in Find My.

iOS 26 showed the exact address when I would try to see where my kids are, but in iOS 27, it no longer shows the exact address of your family members. It always showed the exact address in previous iOS versions. Apple needs to fix this. I am not impressed with iOS 27 so far.

No that shows the asdress that it thinks they are at. If I look for my grand daughter now it shows her "exactly" next door, which she isn't.

It has always done that.

Until recently a street address displayed. That’s how we were able to track a wallet.

Yes but it was always approximate, not definitive.
