"Location Expired" message on iPhone

Hi,

So when me and my friends are trying to share our location one of theirs says ‘Expired Location’ before the location could even load in. I’m the Find My app it’s also says no location found. I was wondering why was that.

Like the above , when I send my location indefinitely , until end of day or for one hour, it sends a map trying to populate then shrinks down to a note on recipient message as “user location expired”


find and all family notifications are on. Family can not find me either


what next?

i’m currently having this issue with my husband as well which is quite dangerous. my anxiety is at an all time high right now especially when he misses a call of mine, etc, and i have no way of checking if he’s okay. i can see my current friends (2) locations and they can see mine but i can’t see my husbands nor can he see mine which is weird and we just started having this issue yesterday.

I FOUND ANOTHER FIX!!!


So I tried what Nikki said about checking for blocked emails and contacts and that didn’t work, we weren’t on each others blocked list


(I told her to block my number and unblock me and then it started working)


There is definitely a bug in this 17 update!!

Same issue. None of the solutions suggested work. It doesn’t matter where I am or if I’m sitting right next to the person I’m trying to share location with it just says ‘location expired’. Never had an issue till the latest update. We expect more Apple, find the bug and fix it.

I figured out another way! My boyfriend could see my location but every time he shared his it wouldn’t work and would load then say no location found and location expired. Go to settings>click ur account>find my>find my iphone>turn off the first one and it should make u put in ur icloud password>then just turn it back on and it should work! this is the only thing that worked for me bc we didn’t have each other blocked on emails, everything was up to date, we blocked and unblocked each other and nothing worked but this !

Hi there kitty-js,


If you are having issues sharing your location with friends, first ensure you are setting this up correctly using the 'Follow a friend's shared location' section here: Find people and share your location with Find My


If this is how you set up sharing locations and this continues, please provide more details on if this happens in every location your friend is in or only in certain locations. This will allow us to isolate this behavior further.


Cheers!
