Select "Family Setup / Standalone" Apple Watch as primary find-my location source for contact

Hello 3rdparty,

From the looks of the article here: Set up Find My on all your devices - Apple Support

It says: "You can use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to share your location."

From that, it does not seem that a watch can be used to share the location. If can be found in Find my, but not sharing location. If you wish to leave feedback for this change later, please do so here: www.apple.com/feedback/

Thanks.

Hello 3rdparty,

Just to clarify, is the issue that the location is incorrect when your family member shares their location with you?

Please check out the following link, which outlines information on Family Setup options, and how to enable Location Services, so we can make sure that's not part of the issue: Set up Apple Watch for a family member

How it works

With Family Setup, your family member who doesn't have their own iPhone can use their Apple Watch to do things like make phone calls, send messages, and share their location with you.

After you set up a watch for a family member, you can use your iPhone to manage some of the watch's capabilities.

Note that some Apple Watch features depend on having a companion iPhone, and aren't available on an Apple Watch that you pair using Family Setup.

Family Setup is not available in Italy, Korea, and more. Learn what's available in your country or region.

Please also check out this link, which has more information on finding a friend's location with Apple Watch, and may help: View a friend’s location with Apple Watch

Find out where your friends are

1. Open the Find People app  on your Apple Watch to see a list of your friends, with each friend’s approximate location and distance from you. Turn the Digital Crown to see more friends.

2. Tap a friend to see their location on a map and an approximate address.

3. Tap < in the top-left corner to return to your friends list.

Or use Siri. Say something like, “Where is Julie?”

Note: If your friend is wearing an Apple Watch with cellular and is sharing their location, but they don’t have their iPhone with them, their location will be tracked using their Apple Watch.

Thanks!
