Above: Find My Friends' old design.

Apple has updated its Find My Friends app with an iOS 7-style design refresh, finally bringing the last of its major apps in line with the new look. Find My Friends was among the worst offenders when it came to skeuomorphic design, with the majority of its interface covered in fake leather and even its icon featuring pretend stitching. That's now all been replaced with a white and translucent interface accented by a bright tangerine tone, with user avatars switching from squares to circles, which seems to be the style now. Though a few remaining Apple apps haven't been updated, Find My Friends could be the last refresh for now — nearly everything else has been dormant already, with some still awaiting an update for the iPhone 5's larger screen.
