Hey there Pcanol1,
There are a couple factors that could cause this to happen. One possibility is there could be something going on with your friend's device, like the inability to connect to the internet or the device you're seeing is not the device they're using.
We recommend having your friend choose to stop sharing their location, then try sharing it again. A simple restart can also help with these types of issues.
To stop sharing:
"To stop sharing your location with everyone, follow these steps. You can also stop sharing with a specific person, or turn off Allow Friend Requests.
- Open the Find my app.
- Select the Me tab.
- Turn off Share My Location.
Stop sharing with one person
- Open the Find My app and select the People tab.
- Choose the person you want to stop sharing your location with.
- Scroll down and select Stop Sharing My Location."
To start sharing again:
"Share with people
- Open the Find My app and select the People tab.
- Select Share My Location or Start Sharing Location.
- Enter the name or phone number of the person you want to share your location with.
- Select Send.
- Choose to share your location for One Hour, Until End of Day, or Share Indefinitely.
- Select OK.
When you share your location with someone, they have the option to share their location back."
You can also send them this resource for additional help: Find friends and share your location with Find My
Take care!
