If you are using the same Apple ID on both the device.


Choose which device to share your location from

By default, the device that you used to sign in to Family Sharing is the one that shares your location. If you want to share your location from a different device:

  1. Tap Settings > [your name].
  2. Tap Family Sharing > Location Sharing.
  3. Tap Share My Location > From.
  4. Select the device that you want to share from.
