Find My Phone only works on WiFi not cellular?

I have a data plan and cellular data is turned on, full strength on cell signal. Yet no location found using Find My Phone. It only works when connected to WiFi.


How can I rectify this? I need locations when not on WiFi



iPhone 8

That is interesting. I've never experienced that. It is just not finding your device? When you are away from wi-fi, is it still turned on in Settings? When you go to Settings>Find My>My Location, does it show This device? That just does not make any sense if you have all of those switches on under cellular and you are able to access the internet on cellular, but you are not seeing an update for you in Find My. You may have to work with Apple Support on that one.
