Find my doesn't send notifications every time

Me and my friend are trying to set up "Find my" together so that we will be notified when the other person for example is leaving the house or arrives at work. Although we tried both to request and invite to share location and set it to send our own location every time, it only works for example when I set up a notification to notify myself when my friend leaves the house. If my friend sets it up to share every time, it doesn't notify me.


Why doesn't this work and how do I solve it?

Hello isidorsson,


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having trouble with receiving alerts using the Find My app. I'd love to share information that may help you resolve this.


First, be sure you're using the steps here to set up location notifications: Set location notifications for friends in Find My on iPhone.


Also, make sure that both devices have Location-Based Alerts enabled under: Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Location-Based Alerts.


You may also want to temporarily disable Do Not Disturb While Driving to test the issue.


Take care.
