Hi rrr321,


The best article for the feature you describe is found at Use Check In on iPhone to let your friends know you’ve arrived. In that article it states:


"Note: Check In requires iOS 17 or later for both the sender and recipient and isn’t available in all countries or regions."


Ensure that both devices are running the latest version of iOS 17 and that Screen Time restrictions are not enabled that may interfere with this function.


Regards.
