Does it mean they’re using their phone?

So if the person is in a building or somewhere specific. Does the “live” mean he is moving within that same building?
when someone turned on their location for me it just showed “now” but a couple days later it turned into “live” is that correct that it takes a couple of days or should it just do it right away?
Hi.
quick follow up question. There are different green blinking patterns when live. Does someone know what they mean? Sometimes it blinks slow like one quick blink and sometimes fast 2-3 blinks. What does it all mean?
If a friend is live and their icon is briefly moving around on map say from front door to across the street all while live, does it mean they are actually walking?
I have noticed this too, but it doesnt refresh. For example, friend is showing 55 min ago in main screen, but ‘live’ when I click on them. There is no buffering or anything, no refresh. ?
I am seeing a family member on “Find my” LIVE on both my iPhone and iPad, yet my wife cannot see that same family member LIVE”. If it’s on by default, shouldn’t it be the same on all devices in the family? If they’re listed as family members.
Why are some showing live and some not
No. It doesn’t mean that the iPhone is in use. It just means that you are seeing the live location of the iPhone.

If “LIVE” means live, what does “now” mean? Seems like a distinction without much difference.
you can see them driving or walking as it happens as they are doing, i think if theyre using their phone for directions it keeps up with where they are going but if they are in the same place for a long period of time it does not say "live". hope that helps
I have iOS 15, but my location still isn’t showing as live. How do I fix that?
Whenever you see LIVE under the location of a device/person, then it means that the location information is transmitted to your device in real time (live).

Sorry still a bit confused to what that even means? I’m seeing it “real time” vs what is not real time?
