iPhone 15 not sharing location

I am using the Find My iPhone to share location with people and now one of those people cannot see my location and I am unable to share my location with them

I have reset my phone. I’ve restarted my phone. I’ve turned things off. I’ve reset it checked every possible thing and I still receive a message that says

“share location unavailable. Please try again later.”

it only started since I’ve had the new iPhone 15PRO No issues with my previous iPhone 11. I Have researched every possible thing to do to make this fix. Can I return my iPhone 15PRO and get one that’s functions as it’s supposed to ?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

So, I tried a bunch of different things.


Settings > Mobile Data and then Enable for Find My


didn't work for me, even after reset,


HOWEVER—in Settings > Find My, there was an option to opt-in into something called the Find My Network.


I did that + resetting my phone and Find My location is working normally again.

I am having a similar issue with my brand new iPhone 15 Pro Max. I had no issues with location sharing on my 12 Pro Max. The issue is seeing folks' locations (who are sharing it with me) through the iMessage app. I keep getting "Location Not Found". If I go into the Find My app, I see some that I don't get through iMessage, and some others I DO see in iMessage, I am not seeing their location within Find My app. I agree with the earlier person, my iPhone 12 Pro was less buggy than this one.

If I go into the Find My app, I see some that I don't get through iMessage, and some others I DO see in iMessage, I am not seeing their location within Find My app. I tried someone's suggestion of signing out and back into my Apple ID, then restarting the phone, but that seems to have made it worse. Now in iMessage, it appears that I have to Share Location and Request Location again with everyone I was previously sharing with. But, the Find My app still shows all as before: I still have location shared with all my family and friends and I still see location of them as well.
