When I try to send my location in iMessage it says “no active device”

My location not working , it keep sayin no active device

You have to accept the new terms and conditions. Open up your settings and follow the prompts.

I also just signed out of AppleID, turned off my iPhone 14 Pro, waited a minute... turned the phone back on, signed in to AppleID and still get the same message. SO FRUSTRATING!!!

I’m having this same **** happen the iOS 17 update is TRASH im so ready to go buy a Samsung and never touch an apple product again. I did everything I I could to share my location but it keeps saying no active device when on settings it says share my location: this device bruh apple fix your **** and stop being money hungry

Here is my solution that worked:

Step 1 - In settings, open “Find My iPhone” and turn OFF the following:

-Share my Location

-Find my network

-Send last location

-Find my iPhone (you will have to input your iCloud password to turn off Find my iPhone)

Step 2 - Turn on Airplane Mode

Step 3 - Turn off your iPhone for at least 10 seconds

Step 4 - Turn on your iPhone

Step 5 - Turn off Airplane Mode

Step 6 - In settings, open “Find My iPhone” and turn ON the following:

-Find my iPhone

-Find my network

-Send last location

-Share my Location

Basically, I turned everything off and turned everything on again. It worked for me. I can’t guarantee it’ll work for everyone but it’s worth a try! Good luck!

iPhone 12- with latest update- when I try to send my location in iMessage it says “no active device”. When my friend looks on their find friends app it’s says for my device “no location found”. I’ve checked the network settings and did a reset. I’ve turned the phone on airplane mode for 60 seconds then back on. I’ve tried turning off iMessage and find me apps- then turn back on. I’ve toggeled every button you can imagine to ensure all locations are turned on in the all the settings (iCloud, privacy, etc). Something continues to block it.. I know it’s not phone service because the phone is right next to mine and (same service)- plus attached to Wi-Fi. Also, I can see other people’s locations and Vice versa. What is the fix for this, please.

Same issue is happening with me aswell.🤦🏾‍♂️

Hey! Idk if you figured it out or not but i signed out of my apple id and then turned my phone off for 60 seconds. I signed back in after it turned back on and was able to share the location after that

The fix is very easy. When your phone updated, you need to agree to the new terms of ios. We spent hours trying to figure it out. The reason iCloud and locations wasn’t active was because it was waiting for me to accept the new terms after the phone updated. The terms are on your iCloud screen. Just agree and then everything works again.

I’m having the same issues. My location sharing was good up until this new update. :/
