In one instance for me, a couple were in my area visiting family but that was finished and were "just looking" on the off chance of a meet locally, before they returned home!

How can you tell where they are?

Their profile will give you two distances:


"Distance: 10-15 miles away (20+ driving)"

This is the distance between the location on your profile and the location on their profile.


"Right now: They are on mobile, 10-15 miles away"

This is the distance between your phone (if you have Who's near on) or your profile and the current location of their phone.

this is my point the second one you mentioned is never accurate and they are not in that vicinity that fab is stating

Do you message them all and ask them wear they are?

Maybe they lied?

GPS on phones isn't always accurate and if attached to wifi can go off the wifi hub which may or may not be in the area. E.g. Public wifi can be on a network which is tied to a central "location" which could be anywhere.

Many options. Nothing with technology or people is fool proof

I can't work out how to 'see who's near' on my 'phone...

Tried the whole privacy thing.

I have an S6 edge. Any ideas?

I had that issue with my old phone and it turned out there was a fault with the GPS on it. Been fine ever since.

Switch on 'location ' in phone settings or top bar depending on phone. Sometimes you might have to allow it in privacy settings.

You come up as only 60 miles from me. It must be your postcode is similar to an English one
