Find my Location

I and my husband both got new iPhones. Though he shared his location with me, his phone says it doesn’t recognize my number as an iPhone.


iPhone XR, 14

Hi rosanne24,


It should like you are attempting to share your location with your husband, is that right? Are you two part of a Family sharing group?


If so, you can try these steps:


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. 


If you are not part of a Family Sharing group, you can follow the steps here:


1. On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, open the Find My app.
2. Tap or click the People tab.
3. Select a family member's name, then select it again to see the menu.
4. Tap or click Share My Location.
