How do I make Find My work in real time? When I check for a location, it shows 5 or more minutes in the past and then will not update.

Hello DL19-,
Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. In the Find My app it will state the location of the device with "Now" then transition into minutes or hours from that point forward. Real time is not an available option, unless the device remains on and you refresh the Find My app. If needed, here's more information about Find My: Find your lost Apple device or AirTag with Find My - Apple Support
Best regards.

Hi DL19,
You may want to restart your device as this can refresh iOS, apps and connections. If you've already done that, try updating to the latest version of iOS to see if the issue persists: Update your iPhone or iPad.
"Update your iPhone or iPad wirelessly
Take care.
Thanks. When I use find my, it seems to no longer say Now. It’s always 5 or 6 minutes ago. I close it and reopen but the time of the location continues to be in the past rather than reverting to Now.
