It is not clear from your post the process you are using to share your location with others.



Open the Find My app and select the People tab. Tap the Add button . Select Share My Location. Enter the name or phone number of the person that you want to share your location with. See the pic below.

Found something that worked for one of our family’s phones that was having the shared location problem.


On the affected phone, go to Settings > Family > Location Sharing (May have to go into the Apple ID first on an older phone). If Automatically Share Location is turned on, turn it off for a few seconds. Mine flashed when I turned it off… but didn’t actually turn off until the second try.


After turning it back on, two phones that previously couldn’t see the phone in Find My could then see it live.

Neither my partner nor I have changed phones, and have been sharing location for 4 years. Suddenly, it always says “Location not Found” both of us have tried unsharing and reshaping, and even the Find My app just says “No Location Found”. Frustrating especially because we have one car and live in the city so suddenly it’s a lot more complicated to pick each other up.

Not sure if people are still having this issue but my daughters location suddenly stopped sharing and she couldn’t access “Find my” it was greyed out. After many attempts to fix (incl some of above) I went into her setting and she had two messages one of which was to agree to iCloud’s terms & conditions which I then did & her iCloud access was regained incl her location sharing. Viola’ so frustrating
