Howdy Zane1133,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


In regards to seeing a location reporting 45 minutes ago, this would be the last time the location was updated for the device they use to share locations. As you're tapping on the name or device of the person, Find My would update to locate where they are at that specific time if the device is able to connect to the internet.


For assistance with locating a friend and more options with Find My, check out this resource: Locate a friend in Find My on iPhone - Apple Support


See the location of a friend

Tap People at the bottom of the screen, then tap the name of the person you want to locate.

If your friend can be located: They appear on a map so you can see where they are.

If your friend can’t be located: You see “No location found” under their name.

If you aren’t following your friend: You see “Can see your location” under their name. You can ask to see a friend’s location.

You can also ask Siri to locate a friend who has shared their location with you.

Siri: Say something like: “Where’s Gordon?” Learn how to ask Siri.


We hope that's able to clear up your question.


Have a great day!
