Once I get permission to track a friend on her trip, if my Notifications are turned on, is there anything else I need to do?
I did get permission, we both have iPhones and an iPad, but when I click on her name, it says "Location not found."
help please.
iPad Air 3, iPadOS 16
Thanks for getting back to me. As it turns out, the friend in question had not turned on her gps, so there was no way to track her.
I appreciate your help.
