How to refresh location with Find My iPhone in iOS 13

In the older version of Find My iPhone, when you were looking at a particular device, the devices locations would refresh in one of two ways, first, if you click the refresh button at the top right of the screen, or second, if you moved away from that screen and came back more than a minute later it would automatically refresh the location. In the new iOS 13 version of the app, there seems to be no way to refresh the location unless you completely close and then reopen the app. I have got to be missing something here, how do you refresh the location of a device while you are in the app? For example, if I am looking at a device's location and then 5 minutes later I want to get the new location, how do I force the the app to locate the device again?
