Hi, celenam.


We appreciate you taking the time to post in the Apple Support Communities.


If we understand correctly, you’re not able to enable Find My on your iPhone XS, and you’re wanting to know how to fix it. Let’s check to see if you have it disabled in your security settings first. 


Navigate to “Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services” and make sure you have Find My iPhone enabled. 


If you’re not able to enable it, check “Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Location Services” to see if you have Find My set with any type of restrictions. 


These articles will help explain:

Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Warmest Regards.
