Share location unavailable please try again later

Me and my friend used to share locations and then I stoped sharing but I tried to put it back and it’s not letting me now. I have tried everything from toggle to reset my phone and nothing seems to be working. I can see their location and my location is on but it won’t let me share it with them and it’s only them. Please help I’m getting frustrated to be honest I told them to unshare their location with me and it’s still not working. I tried sharing location form message and from find my iPhone and nothing is working.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17

Hi caydence113,


To share your location with your friends, we recommend that you try the steps here: Share your location in Find My on iPhone - Apple Support


To perform the recommended troubleshooting steps via the link above, complete the steps in the section titled "Share your location with a friend."


1. Tap the Add button, then choose Share My Location.
The Find My screen open to the People list. There are four people in the list: Olivia Rico, Dawn Ramirez, Ashley Rico, and Will Rico. Tap the Add button at the top of the People list to share your location.
2. In the To field, type the name of a friend you want to share your location with (or tap the Add Contact button and select a contact).
3. Tap Send and choose how long you want to share your location.
You can also notify a friend or family member when your location changes.
If you’re a member of a Family Sharing group, see Share your location with family members.


We recommend the steps above because they will show you how to share your location with a friend.


If you’re still experiencing the same issue, then we recommend that you contact Apple Support directly so that they can work with you to find a solution. You can reach them by clicking here: Apple Support or calling the most local number in your region: Contact Apple for support and service.
