Hello!
Well, I wrote abote this like a week ago but I kind of forgot about the thread and I can't find it now.

So, I have a problem with my Location Services. My iPhone 5 can't be located in "Find Friends".
I checked in the settings, and I've alredy aprooved this app to get my current location but for some reason when somebody tries to find me, it says "Location Unavailable".

I thought I lost my iPhone the other dat and it was very stressful not being able to loacate it that way. (In the end I found it in another way, long story..).

So, what should I do?

Try remove and reinstall the app.

Still doesnt work. I read the tips in the Help>TroubleShooting of the app and all things are alright. I can't be found.

I looked in the Account settings and saw this "Active Device" thing. I have my "Orr's iPhone 5" and I have "OK". I dont know what is this OK. I tried both. Nothing works.

What should I do?

That's weird.
Only other thing I would suggest is restore and setup as new.
Sounds like a software bug.

It was like that in iOS6 too.. When i downloaded iOS7 I thought it would change but it didnt.

Were you using the same backup file before and used that one for iOS 7?
There's not more I can think of.
Setup as new and test it out. Then restore from backup and if its still the same then you know what's up.
 
so i updated my ip5 to ios7 and my wifes 4s is still on ios6, i have background refresh enables and all the locations setting allowed for both of us. i can successfully send her an invite to track and i can see her, she sends me an invite and i get the email to my gmail account notifying me but her invites do not come to the app. any ideas?
