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.

Here is the problem and the answer:

The problem is that the location you are trying to see is no longer displayed in Messages. It is displayed in FindMy. However (and this is the real problem) there are two FindMy accesses. Most people, like me, go to settings and search for FindMy. There is no access here. There is an icon on the Home Screen now that is labeled FindMy. Open this, select People and voila!.. there it is. I hope this helps. It works but the instructions assume too much.

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.

Same problems with my wife. She can see me, I cant see her. I send her the invite, she accepted it and still nothing. In my phone she appears as "invite send" but nothing happened. We never had issues before but after the last iOS is simply impossible...I´ve tried everything with no luck....


I resolve her phone number that show "unavailable for" in her iCloud user setting; also check in iMessage...nothing works!!


Im going to see if we can use Google Maps for that and if is possible I´ll switch to it for ever!!
