Hey there!

Thanks for asking the community.


I understand that you have a question about the green shaded circle around a device on Find My.


Often times, this circle is a representation of where the device may be, in accordance to its GPS response. Because something may be prohibiting satellites from getting the devices exact location, the circle is there to tell you “hey, here’s your phone, it’s anywhere in this circle” kind of thing.


Hope this helped!
