"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.

I was not able to see my wife’s location but she could see mine. This is what worked for me.

Go to Settings

>Privacy and Security

>Location services

>Share my Location

There should be a list of people that you are sharing location with (or trying to share location with).

Find the Friend or Family member you are having trouble sharing location with. (In my case this was done on my wife’s phone.) If there is a message “Johnny cannot see your location” click on their name and press share location and they should now see you.

I’m having the same exact issue. I have a case with support that was “escalated” for review by Apple’s engineering team only for them to suggest updating my phone to the latest IOS update (having no mention of bug fixes to location sharing services / FindMy) after providing them with screen recordings of the issue and the problem device’s system logs.

Yay! Maybe it was blocked somewhere else we’re not seeing and this is happening it’s so annoying but hopefully we can all

figure this out. Since the people that created it can’t figure it out … guess I should work for Apple… so pathetic $1500 phones. All the iCloud and things we pay for issues like this… like wow. Missin Steve Jobs extra hard.

I'm also having this issue. My girlfriend and I share our locations with each other and I also share my location with multiple family members, and everyone’s works except my brothers. For some reason every time I try to look at his it just said “peters location expired” and he’s tried unsharing and resharing so many times. We have tried blocking and unblocking each other to no avail. Please fix this apple

I literally tried blocking and unblocking them they did the same thing on their end. We checked each others email and we’re both not blocked. I reset my phone so did he. I just did the new IOS update and he can see my location but when he sends me his it doesn’t load and it says location expired so I don’t know what to do or how to fix that. Someone please help

I am having the same problem my child is on vacation and not able to share her location. This is super dangerous, how are we having the same problem in 2024. This is ridiculous Apple needs to fix this feature immediately. Just imagine how many lives you could have saved had the feature been working. My camera has also not been working I have the iPhone 12. I am not able to take pictures with my back camera and my flash light stopped working out of no where.

Was this ever resolved? I share location with multiple people in my family, but my little brother says my location just shows expired. No one else that receives my location says that, just him. I have a 12 pro max and it’s up to date and others in my family have 12s,13s, and 15s. So I’m not sure what to do as I did the reset on my phone too 🤦‍♀️
