The “Find My” symbol showing up

I was out in the shop, and I noticed the airplane icon was on… a few minutes later the “find my” showed up,and I mildly freaked out, so I went to check and the find my is all foggy looking and I cannot even check on it! Wtf does this mean?! This in no wayhelps my built in paranoia, although I refer to it as “ my attention to detail” and “a heightened sense of my surroundings “, so anyone who wants to answer asap I will be forever grateful to🫤Thank you in advance!!!

Thank you for the screenshot:


Troubleshooting Location Services Being Dulled Out:

Location Services is not available in every country/region. So, see if allowing fixes this.


Check Parental Controls:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Screen Time
  3. Tap: Content & Privacy Restrictions
  4. Tap: Location Services so this it reads "Allow"

Report back if that does the trick.

Chill out for a second.


Please Device "Foggy"?

What do you mean by "foggy"? Is the screen all blurry or dulled out? IF so, take a screenshot, and then view it in the Photos app: Take a Screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support
