Device Precedence re: GPS Location

Hi there DreadBoard,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Thanks for reaching out to us with this inquiry about sharing device location. We're happy to provide some insight into this for you. If your friend shares their location, and they are using a non-cellular Apple Watch, the iPhone and Watch must be together to see the location of both. If they are in two different locations, you will only see the location of the iPhone. Now, if your friend is using a cellular enabled Apple Watch, and the companion iPhone is in another location, the location of the Watch can be seen using the cellular signal. You can get more info on location sharing here:

Find friends and share your location with Find My

We hope this helps you.

Have a great day!

Hello again DreadBoard,

Thanks for clarifying that for us. You can only share the location of one device at a time. From the Find My app, tap the "Me" tab, and tap "Use this [device] as My Location". Let us know if you have any other questions.

Take care and be safe.
