Find My, error: "Share My Location unavailable. Unable to connect to server. Please try again later."

I recently bought the iphone 12 and set it up. When I go to iCloud > Find My, I get the error: "Share My Location unavailable. Unable to connect to server. Please try again later." My location services are on, and I have reset my phone as well, but it made no difference. On my old phone the find my is working as it is supposed to.

iPhone 12, iOS 14

There is apparently a distinction between wiping the phone versus restoring to factory settings. Restoring to factory settings solve my problem. I could not download the back up because I did not want to reinstall the same glitch. My phone is bringing back storage data from the cloud however. Just not the whole phone back up.
