people tab is not showing on find my iphone app I had an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I had all of my friends locations on the people tab. This summer I lost that phone and got a new one and after I connected to my account and got everything set up the people tab doesn’t show on the find my iPhone app. When people request to see my location I get the notification, accept it, but nothing happens. When I open the app the people tab shows for a split second and after that it disappears. The picture is what it shows me in the settings. What can I do?

What does a Purple Arrow mean in Location Sharing? I have shared my location indefinitely with someone but I am confused when I have checked my settings. Does a purple arrow next to Share My Location mean that the person I have shared my location with has been checking my location? A purple arrow shows up often next to Find My IPhone but it can be hours before a purple arrow shows up next to Share My Location. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Hello JokersCastillo!

The “green orb” is just an indication that Find My is showing the live location of your friend. Perhaps your other friend who doesn’t have the green orb has low cell service, etc.?

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
