How to get Find My iPhone to show address

Wow. You guys sure make a lot of assumptions, and those assumptions are always the worst.
The OP could be looking for a friend's device on their behalf. A Good Samaritan.
Apple has no additional liability by showing an address over and above any liability it already has showing directions and addresses in Apple Maps. I'm sure their terms and conditions cover them pretty well in case of any inaccuracies.
IMO an address in Find My iPhone, accurate or not, would be nice...

I see what you did there... :cool:
 
Being that aGPS isn't all that accurate to begin with, relying on Find My iPhone to tell me the address doesn't seem like a good idea. Instead, looking at the location listed and making an educated decision yourself would probably be the best idea.

First, thanks! This is the kind of responds I'm looking for. However, are you doing this from the app on your iPhone or iPad? The problem with doing that from iPhone or iPad is you can only search for your devices. I'm using it to find someone else device so I have to access it from a browser on my laptop.

You can find other people's iPhone using the iOS app as well, simply by logging into the app with their Apple ID instead of yours, just as you would on icloud.com.
 
You can label the address. For example, while my wife was at work, I labeled it "work." When she's there, my phone says she's at work. I could have labeled it "123 Fourth St." so maybe that could solve your address question.
