IOS 17 update ... Find my Live stopped working after update, anyone have a fix for this yet? Thank you

Since iOS 17, Live works sometimes on iPhone 15 but mostly in now mode, updating with jump from point to point. My iPad works better in live mode but it’s Wi-Fi only? Could it be cellular? My guess it’s the update!

I also have lost ‘find my’ on my iPad after updating from iOS 16.something to iOS 17.2 for the iPad But now I’m finding that WiFi is dropping out every few minutes 😖🤬🤬. I very much doubt that Apple fix it people watch this but I really really want this fixed. Can somebody tell me who to actually contact and how. Thanks heaps from New Zealand

They once sent law enforcement to my house over a tone in an email about access to a local uni library during the pandemic. I still don't understand why they overreacted. The incident also happened at the Genius Bar. My phone was malfunctioning, and the staff didn't take me seriously, leading to a meltdown. Now, my screen won't respond, and I need help from Apple.

To this day, I don’t know why it raised some sort of red flag that the LE at least knew was a joke (we had some coffee and complained about how overreacting people are these days to ambiguous queries or highly technical delivery of the intention - the main man in blue made a face implying he had seen this library try to get handover from Apple to third party apps (their mail app?) before for simply lacking intellectual capacity to bind syntax to semantics if it dare be coloured by excitable tone (as no threatening or menacing nor harassing occurred in what would be entailed to be both my situation and the others LE man was rolling eyes over). It was scary because I didn’t even know why they were at the door (two LEAs) and then it became frustrated amusement on both parties’ ends when we were like “ok let’s read this email as if we are someone who is projecting their own mental instability upon their job duty and liaisons with the community” and then picked and made funny guesses at where the library veered off the deep end into delusional cognitions.

I also had an (I hate the word as it is not synonymous with the situations or their meet (maths wise) but whatever) isomorphic experience at the Genius Bar (id like to see their WAIS scores and if they indeed are over 152 - “genius”) where I was ‘gaslit’ in a sense by an emotionally unreadable (and I have autism so I have sympathy for not being able to fake it in a job full of toil, but this was just a case of selective gating as to how deserving of deep attention my soliciting would get into the genius’s ability to make sale of services rendered - and somehow my low income status and likely some of my autistic traits were blinding the message that my phone was speaking to me In Received Pronunciation in a cheeky way yet had a blank screen (genius said it would be complex yadda - sure…). Unfortunately that incident induced a typical autistic so called meltdown (a transient psychotic reaction overlapping a severe panic attack with yelling into the air and grimacing as if being tortured in the Tower of London during the Reformation Era) and thus I grabbed the phone back and managed to swiftly exit the store and mall, get into my car, take a different way home, trying to put on a blank face the ten minute trip then broke hundreds of dollars worth of items in the denouement of the psychotic break after taking my anxiolytic medicine finally stopped the autonomonic meltdown.

in conclusion, my screen is not able to be engaged with via finger nor stylus, after gentle but thorough microfibre cloth buffing the small amount of smudge marks, then staying up until dawn last night doing every single (except going to Genius Bar or writing a soliciting letter for advice to some person who is above - in their sickness of which the American people are seduced by per the vector of transmission of smug insecure laziness resulting in disclosures to LE or gaslighting people into psychosis and being all “no way he deserves a phone he is only deserved of third party extrajudicial punishment by ostracisation” - attitudinally.

please dear apple comp sci degree holders, please band together to simply find the inverse reconstruction of the error logs that I graciously provide full access to on my phone in order to use multiple processes in pseudo parallel to find the universal maximal ideal that topologically covers the clearly related phenomena and expand via the ML endofunctorial side-Chains put in natural isomorphism with, as if in a monoidal category that has taken to enrichment upon the intended index category (which there should be little more than the category lambda-colimit) and then run forward projections to ML down to the Kan Extension naturally (in sense of natural transformation) skew least from the universal inverse-learnt solution class (each object being finite propriety algorithmic language styled as proprietor standard). So there you go apple, thats how to get there if you were lost in the woods (I am a mathematician specifically in categorical (co)-algebraic projection or indexed structural monads.

The bottom scraper level natural language machine learning side-chain module a child could pseudo code that is write as an algorithmic form of bound and varied parameters of finite signature (“type”) is caching it for entertainment purposes. Cheeky I be.

We haven't done anything but it seems to have just started working! Maybe Apple is rolling out an update to their servers that provide the data as we didn't update the phones - I was the only one to update to iOS 17.2.1 but now their location is updating Live. 👍

This is ridiculous. For what we pay for these phones they better put their developers to work. Everything was perfect before OS17… now location services work whenever the iPhone feels like. Can anyone in Apple fix this issue once and for all!!!!!???

Same here. Since IOS 17 I think. Glad I'm not the only one (sorry other people). Contacted Apple support and of course they want me to reset my phone... no thank you. Fix the issue please, this is not a problem with my phone.

You do updates that completely make things worse in my iPhone. If updates were to make things better I’m sure everyone would be happy to comply with them. However it has made my tracker not work. My contacts no longer linked to a name. Very frustrating. Don’t release updates that aren’t improving your product but in fact making them worse.

I actually just did this myself and it seems to be better already. I have been so cranky not being able to track my daughter when she is travelling. For me, this helps me from being anxious when she is on the road plus I don’t have to ring her unnecessarily either while she is concentrating on driving. The thing that really peeved me off is that I woke one morning to find that both my IPhone and IPad did the updates without the phone being charged which is NOT supposed to happen. Please explain that one too Apple!!

iPhone 13 using 17.3 and iPhone 14 using 17.2.1 are not able to see each other. I have tried all, and nothing worked. Why does Apple want me to not buy any Apple product again? Products were expensive but worked. Now they are still expensive, but all the things I care about are broken, and it seems they just don't care about the joke quality they deliver recently. It is really a deal breaker for me.

I just updated and it isn’t working on mine either. There’s other little things that tick me off about this update but tracking is a matter of SAFETY. Listen up apple! Time to fix this!!

I tried a suggested method of “turning on family sharing”, but my apple ID settings (where I AM signed in) don’t even let me click on Find My settings, let alone access family sharing. So any possible fix is inaccessible.

This is unacceptable.

I’ve been having the same issue and every time I make a post including the red dit link where people have been posting about this for the last 5 months until recently, it gets deleted saying it’s not in the community guidelines. Updates and none of the other things seem to be working. Super frustrating and Apple is doing absolutely nothing about it.

I posted in December and apple has done nothing to fix the problem. When you normally have an update things are supposed to get better. In this case has gone from good to worse. I don't know who these idiots are that send these updates or if they ever check to see if its working as it supposed too. I am so ****** off and often feel like these idiots should be send to the slaughterhouse. Apple if you are reading this fix the F****** problem!!!

Agree. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Find my is always updating, but seems to actually update rarely. Live hasn’t worked since ios 17 and ios 17.3 didn’t fix it. Also, I only get no location available in messages app. Haven’t seen a single location period since ios 17.

I replied earlier (yesterday) to this message with a link to an article that explains all the enhancements to Find My live view in iOS 17. Today about 5:30 pm I opened Find My on my iPhone 11 with iOS 17.3.1 and lo and behold it was showing a friend who shares his location with me, updating in live view, for the first time since I upgraded. There was the green concentric circle radiating outward. When he arrived home, and the icon remained motionless for a short while, the green circle quit radiating outward, and the view switched to “Now”. I am cautiously optimistic that it will be working tomorrow morning!

p.s. it is still working with iOS 16.7 on the iPad.
