What do I do if a friend isn't showing up?
Can't see each other? Here's a few things to check:
Check internet connection
The most common issue is that the people not showing up have connection issues. Slopes' location sharing requires an internet connection to work, and that isn't a guaranteed thing at all ski resorts. If this is the case, both the iPhone and Apple Watch should show a red connection issue alert.
To troubleshoot, make sure that you don't have airplane mode on by swiping down from the top of the screen to view the control center, and check your cellular settings.
Make sure everyone is friends with each other
Is everyone friends with each other? You can check who's on your friends list on the Friends tab in the app.
Check that everyone has enabled location sharing
Does everyone have location sharing turned on?
