iMessage and findmyphone not working

Hello All!

My mother just recently switched providers and ever since she switched her iMessages stopped working even though it states it’s on and she used to be able to see my location but now says no location found even though I share it with her on find my phone, I can still see her location though. Does anyone know how to fix this issue??

I would go through the process below again and choose her number again

Find people and share your location with Find My – Apple Support (UK)


Share with people

  1. Open the Find My app and select the People tab.
  2. Tap the Add button .

  3. Select Share My Location.
  4. Enter the name or phone number of the person you want to share your location with.
  5. Select Send.
  6. Choose to share your location for One Hour, Until End of Day or Share Indefinitely.

When you share your location with someone, they have the option to share their location back
