"Facebook is rolling out a new Nearby Friends feature in the US, which alerts users when a friend is close by. When switched on, the option reveals how many miles away the person is, until you chose to share your precise location for a meet-up.  The feature is optional and users can choose whether friends, close friends, or a specific friend can see how close they are and for a set period of time. All users must have Nearby Friends switched on to see who is nearby.  &amp;quot;When Nearby Friends is on, you can see when your friends are traveling if they&amp;#039;re also using this feature and sharing with you,&amp;quot; Facebook said in an announcement. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ll be able to see the city or neighbourhood they are in, including on their profile.&amp;quot; Nearby Friends will be available to Android and iPhone handsets in the US over the coming weeks.
