my daughter got a new iphone and now the find my isn't working

My daughter got a new IPhone last month and now the Find My Iphone isn't working for her or me. I've checked all the settings and they match mine. She took to an Apple Store, and the guy said "Not sure. I can't help you." Has anyone else had this issue? Suggestions? thanks!


iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

Thanks so much again. We got in touch with someone at Apple via phone. He had my daughter log out of her Apple ID (she has a separate ID) and then log back in. All fixed now. Guess it was just a glitch. Your advice is much appreciated!

  • Is it a replacement iPhone? If so, did she thoroughly cleanse the predecessor iPhone?
  • Does she have her own, unique Apple ID? This is required.


and now the Find My iPhone isn’t working for her or me.
  • Hopefully you mean Find My, and not the now obsolete Find My iPhone app.
  • ”Isn’t working” … does that mean:
    • Neither of you see her iPhone? (But you both see everything else you expect to see.)
    • Neither of you see any devices?
    • Neither if you see either your or her iPhone?
    • Something else?
