Hello averie244,


If the Share My Location option in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services is grayed out, the device most likely has restrictions enabled on it.


Go to Settings > Screen Time and see if that is currently turned on. If it is, scroll down and select Content & Privacy Restrictions and see if the toggle switch for that is turned on. If it is, turn it off.


Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Cheers!
