I type I’m at in my messages and want to put in my current location. The phone prompts me to turn on location services. I’ve already done that, it still won’t work?

Hello CoachGriffith.


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It looks like you are having some trouble with sharing your location in Messages, and after checking to make sure that Location Services are on the issue persists. We will be glad to assist.


Go back to the Location Service settings, turn it off for Messages, restart your iPhone, then turn Location Services for Messages back on to see if that helps:


  1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
  2. Make sure that Location Services is on.
  3. Scroll down to find Messages


Restart your iPhone


If the issue persists, Contact Apple for support and service


Cheers.
