Find my Live stopped working after update, anyone have a fix for this yet? Thank you
It’s not worked for months now, does anyone from Apple actually read this or are we just wasting our time?

Same issue. Find My and Face Time are the 2 main reasons I switched to Apple for the first time. Meh. I understand glitches happen but don’t they test this before release? And not being able to share my location is kind of a safety issue with the kids. Apple needs a fix for this. I keep pushing the share button and nothing happens. Nobody can see me. Well I’m sure the government agencies can. But not my friends. 🤪
Updated to 17.2 last night, problem hasn't been fixed yet!!!!! This is ridiculous.
I did update my wife’s phone and no change at all. I am so ****** off at apple. The idiots who do the software, most probably from India should be hung in public. My wife works at night and long drive from home and I keep track for safety sake. Now this **** is not working, 20 to 30 min for update, should have never updated to 17.2
Updated again to 17.2.1 STILL broken, really Apple, maybe stop concentrating on new bells and whistles, and at least keep existing functionality!!!
anybody reading this and experiencing the same thing, please post and let's try and get this fixed!
Cheers
"If you haven't already, make sure the person you're sharing locations with also has their device updated to the latest version of iOS: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support"
I'm sorry but that is absolutely unacceptable, My 2 kids are using iPhone 8's, which cannot run 17, is it really reasonable to expect me to buy them new phones? Now I can't know where they are reliably, Why was there no prior warning that this functionality would not be compatible with iOS 16 devices?
Wish I'd never "upgraded" to 17.
I refuse to accept this hoop jumping as a fix… there was nothing wrong bfr. Software people can jump through the hoops to make updates work seamlessly. Ridiculous to force non tech savvy/millions of paying customers to do this level of problem solving!!!
I’ve updated to 17.2.1 and my “find my” is not working and everyone is updated to same. All it does it go around in a circle hung up and they says 2 minutes ago or what have you and it doesn’t show me live. Fix this issue. I can see all the updated people on my 17.
After updating my iPhone 11 to iOS 17.2.1, my Find My app could not locate anyone of the People sharing location with me.
After trying everything I finally managed to get it working again!!!!
Hope this works for you too!!
Same issue with me - 17.2 screwed up the “live” functionality to watch that person’s icon travel realtime. Now, it updates sometimes but doesn’t “real time” track a person. Sometimes it doesn’t update at all .. 20mins or more. My iPad is 17.1 and it works like it should. Neither my wife or daughter are 17.2 either. Good god, the one time I blatantly “trust” and they screw up one of the biggest reasons I am with Apple still … 🤬🤬🤬
The fix is in your account page. On all phones that have the family sharing you need to do the change. Click on the name/pic at the top of settings for your account info. Then click family sharing. You will need to view and accept new terms and then you can update the sharing. But you do need to do it on each device, it can’t be done remotely. I just had success on this myself!
I hope the clowns at apple are reading all these posting. They better put out a fix asap.
Agree 100%. Ridiculous. And none of the support people will admit it’s an issue!!! As if they’re not hearing this a hundred times a day.
The problem we are having our 2 children don't have devices that support iOS17, and I don't think it's fair to break something that people use to monitor their children. If it's by design, then I don't think it's fair to expect users to have their young kids carrying around phones that could make them a target because of the value of their phones. This functionality was the reason we moved from android a few years ago :-(
Find My 'People' doesn't work anymore with iOS17. all it does is find devices close to me. Kids have iPads and iPhones and Laptops.
Great feature, used to be. Doesn't work well anymore without jumping through hoops.
IOS 17 update ... Find my Live stopped working after update, anyone have a fix for this yet? Thank you
