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

A few weeks ago, I was able to see my friend's FIND MY location but just last week, even when his location settings and mobile data settings are all on, I still couldn't see his location unless he open the app then I would be able to see but once he closes his app, I wont be able to locate him anymore. The states on my side would show that there is "no location found" but on his side, he could see mine very clearly even if I have close my app. Why is this and how could we slove this? Because it doesn't make sense that it was working very well a few weeks ago but then last week it just stopped when none of us pressed anything towards the FIND MY app.

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

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.

No this is not the fix. Again, nothing has changed on my iPhone. Location Services is always on. The only thing that has been changed is that my iPhone was updated about 3 weeks ago with the new iOS. And I have gone in after the update to verify that all settings are still set properly.


This is a problem on APPLE'S end. Please fix it, as I can no longer track my family locations.

Did you ever fix this issue? I just woke up and checked find my iphone and no locations were being shown for any of my devices except my phone. Just says no location for my air pod, my moms phone, and my dads phone. My parents didn’t do anything and they don’t even know how to change location/find my iphone settings, so i have no idea what’s happening here. Any help would be appreciated

I have same problem after traded in my old phones for iPhone 12. The problem for me is kind of unique. My wife’ phone and my phone are appear on the “Find My”; however, the 2 phones my kids use are not appear on my phone or my wife’s phone. I have tried all suggested steps but no prevail. I even reinstalled my phone but no success. Don’t know what to make of the problem. Hardware? Software?

Issue of Find My also problematic with iOS 14.3 - even upon following all online and Apple suggestions, "No location found" for all people in "find my" no longer available - this is clearly an Apple issue, and hopefully resolved within the next iOS update.

Very frustrating when so called improvements are made and changes to iOS take away features and functions we have grown to depend on. I and many others are loyal Apple consumers, I feel we all deserve better than the online runaround to resolve issues that are suggested and recommended without positive results. I do appreciate those who at least try and make the effort - however Apple tech does need to step up when changes to iOS fail.
