Find my iphone off while using the ipad.

Hi, so if my ipad and iphone are connected to the same apple id will it affect my location on find my iPhone ? Because when my daughter uses the ipad at home and i go out while shes watching a movie my location turns off a few minutes later and it doesnt turn back on until i get home. Is there a setting to help with this or why is this happening ?

You will have to assign which device will be used to set the location.


Share my Location is for the Device.

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. 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 Find My Friends and Messages. And you can see where they're located too.

Plus, with location sharing enabled, if your device is lost or stolen, you can ask a family member to use Find My iPhone to help you locate it and get it back.
