Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
After the last update, find my friends does not give me the option in settings to “always” allow location access like it used to. I need it to always be able to track location, so what can I do to get back to that? My friends who updated it have this option still unlike me !

Hello gmd1107,
Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to set the Find My app to allow location access to "Always" as expected compared to your friends. First, make sure your iPhone is up to date, as the updates contain stability fixes that can resolve issues like yours, as well as important security updates to keep your iPhone safe.
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Next, you may have to reset your location settings by going to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Location & Privacy. Then open the Find My app and see if the "Always" option is presented, and then contact Apple if you need any further assistance.

I am in a very similar boat, except it's not just the Find My app, it's every app. Since I updated to 13.2.3, none of my apps give "Always" as an option for location access. I just reset location & privacy, but still no "Always" option. Any ideas?
Find my friends
