iPhone 13 location services won't stay on indefinitely

I’ve been trying to share my location indefinitely on my new iPhone 13 with a partner but it won’t stay on indefinitely it periodically stops sharing my location throughout the day and it’s really disrupting the development of security and trust in the budding relationship. I walk and take public transit a lot so the sharing of my location is extremely important for me and I want it to stay on indefinitely as I select that option every time it decides to sporadically stop sharing.

Yesterday it showed stopped sharing at 4am in the morning on one thread whilst it showed nothing at 4am on my end I wasn’t alerted till 7am I’ll put the pictures below it’s weird bc the times shouldn’t differ especially bc we’re in the same time zone same city

Hello, PPoseyy.

There are a few different reasons why the Location Sharing might pause temporarily. To start out, please make sure you have everything set up as expected, as explained in the following articles: Find friends and share your location with Find My - Apple Support and Share your location with your family - Apple Support (if using Family Sharing).

As with all unexpected iPhone behavior, try taking the following steps which may help with this: restart your iPhone, make sure it is up to date, close the affected apps, then reopen them and make sure all apps are updated.

This can also be network-related, if you pass temporarily through an area with low or no Wi-Fi or cellular service.

Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
