Can you please specify what steps have you already taken and from which app you are sharing location. Make sure that Location Services are enabled on your iPhone and for these specific apps that you're trying to share your location with. For this go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and here ensure that it's turned on.
From here scroll down to see a list of apps and make sure that the relevant app is set to "While Using the App" or "Always," depending on your preference. A force restart can also help in fixing this issue: just press volume up, then down( make sure to quickly release them one pressed ), then hold the side button until screen shuts down and power back with the apple logo. If you are still facing the issue, let me know

Everything I try to send family my location it be saying unavailable
Turning on “Find My Network” worked for me. Here are the steps:
-Click Settings then
-in the top search box type “Find My” and click on “Find My” in search results .
-Then click “Find My iPhone” at top of screen.
-Then turn on “Find My network” .
-Turn phone off then back on.
-Now invite or accept an invite worked!
The reasons for not being able to share your location can be many bcz if you have disabled one setting unintentionally on your iPhone which might have something with the location service then it can disrupt the normal functioning of sharing location feature Also check for an iCloud Syncing message on top of your settings as many users have reported it the main culprit and once they resume syncing it fixed the issue also check the network sharing in find my app and turn it ON for the steps you can check this out ****

After months of frustration this Find my Network adjustment is what finally made the breakthrough!!!
Thank you for this contribution!!
I was able to see all people in my family and their devices except one child who at times I could see their devices but not in the people list. Everyone else was able to see everyone else. That child did not have Find My Network turned on. Turning it on fixed the situation immediately.
