"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

It’s been a while since this was posted, but we just had this issue so I figured I’d share in case someone else runs into this problem. I could see my husband’s device, but he, as a person, was always showing “no location” even though he was showing up previously. He had to open settings >privacy>location services> and he had to select use this phone as my location and he popped back into find my iPhone under people.

My husband and I were having the same problem. By accident, I discovered both of us had new iCloud terms of service in iPhone settings that we needed to “agree” to. Once BOTH of us did that, problem solved in Find My Friends. Maybe this will help someone else. Hope so!

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

Most of us did nothing. If you’re holding out for Apple to fix your problem you should consider removing and re-adding friends and family. I know what you’re saying but they aren’t going to change something that addresses every users contacts. If you want rot fixed it would appear it’s on you. To say above that “No this is not the fix” is misleading. Choose your own path I suppose but don’t hold your breath. The paths broke and they are permission based. It’s not that big of deal to remove and add folks again. I get it’s not your fault it wasn’t mine either but the point it to make it work.

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.

See the methodology and logic here --> Find friends and share your location with Find My

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.

Like everything else, Apple never acknowledges that there is a problem on their end. If it doesn't work for you, do a factory reset first and see if the problem goes away. If not then maybe they will start looking into it.
