Spouse can’t see my location in find my phone
We have enabled family sharing, and my children can see my location. When I open”share my location with” in settings, I see their names are checked, but my spouse is not listed. Any ideas?

Thanks for reaching out JTPMI,
It sounds like you're having some trouble with sharing your location. We can help.
You'll want to make sure each member of the family group tries these steps: Share your location with your family. This should allow each of you to be visible to the others.
How it works
The family organizer sets up location sharing in Family Sharing settings. After location sharing is turned on, the organizer's location is automatically shared with everyone in the family group, and any new family members who are added later. Then each family member can choose whether or not to share their location. When you agree to share, your family members see your location in the Find My app and Messages.
Share your location with a family member
You can share your location in Settings or the Find My app, and you can stop sharing your location at any time.
If you already set up a Family Sharing group
In iOS 16 or iPadOS 16 or later:
1. On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings.
2. Tap Family.
3. Tap Location Sharing.
4. Under Share Your Location With, tap to choose which family members to share your location with.
In iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 or earlier:
1. On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings.
2. Tap your name, then tap Family Sharing.
3. Tap Location Sharing.
4. Tap Share My Location.
Hope that helps.
Take care.
