    Hi adper,

     

    It sounds like you have checked key items to see them, but I want to make sure we have all the bases covered.

     

    iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My Friends

    "No location available" label for friends

    This can occur if:

    • The device being located:Your friend is currently not signed in to the Find My Friends app on the device being located.
      • Is turned off
      • Is not connected to a data network (cellular or Wi-Fi)
      • Has Hide My Location (Hide from Followers in version 2.1.1 or earlier) turned on in the Find My Friends app
      • Has Location Services turned off altogether in Settings > Privacy > Location Services or has Location Services turned off specifically for Find My Friends in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Find Friends
    • Your friend is currently not signed in to the Find My Friends app on the device being located.

    Take care,

    Nubz
