Satellite view on locations

Hi Jduke76,

We appreciate you reaching out to us.

We’d like to gather additional details that may help us be in a better position to assist you.

Do you not see the globe icon that allows you to change from Explore to Satellite?

If you haven't, please update to iOS 17.0.1.

While it isn't inherently assured that an update will resolve the issue, updating to the latest software version for your device can help isolate potential software issues. 

Kindly secure a backup and update.

Take care!

I am having this same problem as well. I have updated my phone to IOS 17.0.2 and still do not have satellite view as an option when viewing contacts location. The globe icon is not there, the only options are 2d, 3d and the arrow for direction.

All of my friends that have updated to IOS 17 or any updates from that point are experiencing the same problem.

Same issue since updating to IOS17.0.1 on Iphone 13 Pro max. Satellite view works fine for Find My locations, just not in the map shown in Message contact.

Very frustrating.

Same issue for me. It was missing on 17.0.1 and still is on 17.0.2.

Would love this to be addressed.

Same issue here !
