"No location found" for friend in Find My on iPhone

So. Read all the replies. Tried most of them. No bueno. Sat down with my iphone11 and iPad to compare. Eureka! Buried in privacy—> location services —> system services—> share my location!! (Again!)

Now, my wife can stalk me again...yeah, for better or worse. Hope that helps

Your friend might also need to switch on ‘share my location’ in Privacy/location services/system services’

I was able to track everyone on the “Devices” tab in “Find My” but “No location found” was beside everyone on “People” tab. At that point I noticed in Settings>Privacy>Location Services that “Find My” was set to “Never”. I changed it to “While Using The App”. Figured that would fix it. Nope. It then dawned on me I had to use my Apple ID on another device until I got my new phone. The problems started right after I traded in my old iPhone. Well I did an erase all content and data on my trade-in which turns Find My off and I would bet Location Services thus affecting “Find My”. I had to turn off find my with each friend and re-request and have them approve to get it to show the locations under People. I chalk this up to my fault. I don’t see a way around it on a trade in though if you wipe the phone properly. Maybe this is what happened to some of you as well.

This worked! In other words, to send a request to follow someone’s location, I had to do it through the Messages app instead of the Find My app. Apple should put this in their instructions for using the Find My app!

My phone showed up in the Find My app with no location. I could get it to play a sound, but no location showed. I turned off Find My Iphone then turned it back on. It showed up immediately. iPhone SE v2, iOS 15.1

I received an email from Apple Support and they still haven’t figured out the reason yet. However; you can try this to see if it works.

go to the message app, choose the contact you want to share the location, click on the name-info-Share My Location-Share Indefinitely. The other iPhone should receive a text with a map with your location. If that person accept then it may works. It works for us. Good luck.

I just got another email from Apple Support indicates that they still working on the issue. I don’t know how it worked out on our phones. I have 2 iPhones 12, one xr and one 7. Initially, only the 12 communicated so I thought the issue was due to the phones; however, after I tried using the message app to share location, they works so I don’t think it is hardwares. Even my old iPhone 5s showed up.

My best guess is that the app on your phone missed an update, causing a problem between the two of you. I would recommend attempting to update the app, or if unable to, uninstalling and reinstalling it. Followed of course by rebooting your phone before trying again.

It was fixed for me after I upgraded all devices you iOS 13.6.1

give it a try.

This may happen due to low speed of the network or high traffic in the network. It is working fine with me. Try restarting your device.Also update your devices to the latest softwares. It also may happen due to large gap in the softwares. I can't find my iPhone 4s in 'Find My' app. I am not sure if its due to the software gap but I believe its because of that.

Hope this helps.

I think I have the same problem. I can see a family member in Devices tap in Find My but NOT in People tap so I cannot get the notifications.

I think this happened after we upgraded to iOS 13.6, hope someone or Apple will come up with a solution soon.

I have a act Ly the same issue, with 3 out 6 contacts on Find My, which come up with “No Location Found” unless they have the app open on their phone, at which point it works fine.

hiw fo you fix this?

I also tried b4uabb's suggestion with no luck. The weird part for me is I can see two of my three family members in findmy app just fine. My wife's phone for whatever reason I can no longer see. She initially had a iPhone 7Plus and was upgraded to an 11 after Christmas, but I was having the issue on the 7Plus so it is not phone related. All 4 of us are on iOS 14.3. Our phones are a 12 Pro, 11, 8 and Se 2020. As someone else noted I can no longer see my wife's phone in findmy app on my MacBook Pro or my iPad. I'm not sure why two of the phones are fine but one is not. I don't believe you can downgrade to 14.1 anymore as Apple has stopped signing it once 14.2 was released. I haven't heard too much about this problem and following some Youtube tech channels who have just recently released videos on the bug fixes and new features coming out in iOS 14.4, there is no mention of a fix for this issue or any mention of it at all. It doesn't not seem like this is a widely talked about issue.
