I know someone has me blocked, but Find My says they can still see my location.

I sent my location after the block thought to see if it would still work! Would they get any notification tho
So I have shared my location indefinitely with someone months ago and it is only them who I share it with. The purple arrow lights up a lot when i randomly look in my privacy settings. Would that be them looking?
I also have ios17.5.1 and I heard they have blocked me but if the purple arrow is them looking then I think it’s kinda funny. Just curious?
Hi. one question. i just got blocked by someone and i still sharing my location and i’m using the feature of noticing the other party when i’m leaving or arriving home. will they get the notification even though imm blocked?
It actually isn't. When you block someone (or someone blocks you), it takes them off of your people who you share location with. It is a privacy feature that Apple implemented.
Yes, Find My is independent of blocking.
Do you know for a fact that you have been blocked by this person? Or are you trying to figure out if they have blocked you? If the latter, there is no way for you to know that short of asking them. If, on the other hand, you already know they have blocked you, stop bothering them.
Trying to figure it out that’s all just says they can see my location ! I’ve not bothered them once
OK, I misinterpreted your question. You can authorize someone to follow you using Find My even if they block you. However, if you send your location by text they will not receive it if they have blocked you.

If they blocked you, they won't get any notifications about you.
Why are you still sharing your location with someone who has made it clear they don't want anything to do with you?
Open the Find My app, tap on Me. Share My Location lets you share your location. If you don’t want to share your location turn this off.
If you want to share turn it on, then tap People. Tap the + sign and add who you want to share your location with.

It's important to note how old this thread is. It's even possible that the original poster was not yet using iOS 17.

If they have blocked you, they aren't seeing anything. Stop sharing your location with them.
I once blocked my friend on my phone and it instantly stop sharing my lo with them but on my iPad they location was still on there so o blocked them on my iPad too and it said sharing locations on my iPad but when I unblocked on my iPad the location appeared again.
