Switching providers location settings

Does switching phone providers turn off current my current location with the people I share it with. I do not want to stop sharing my location I want to know if it will turn off my location once I switch to a new provider????

Hey there, Lambssaybaa.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! You ask a great question about location sharing with your iPhone. I'd be glad to provide you with some information on that. Changing carriers shouldn't change the settings or number of friends you share locations with, but it may be unavailable during the time that the change is taking place, as the Find My app that you're using does rely on Location Services to locate people and devices. Learn more about location services in Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Have a great day!
