Sally0_0,


Thanks for the screenshot, that is the Settings > (name)> Apple ID > Find My. The settings appear to be okay.


What happens when you open the Find My app on your iPhone and tap on the People option at the bottom? Do you see the requests to share your location and the "+" to send requests? If you tap on the Devices tab, do you see a list of your devices? And if you tap on the Me tab, is Share My Location enabled?


Reach back out and let us know what happens when you try adding and accepting invites within the app.



Have a great day!

Hello Sally0_0,


We'll be happy to help out in Apple Support Communities. 


You should be able to share locations. The article associated with your post is good to use when you are trying to locate a misplaced or stolen device.


Take a look at Find friends and share your location with Find My, it goes over the details of what you and your family need to do to get this set up. 


Reach back out with more details if you still need help. 



Cheers!
