I have a personal phone and a house/kids phone under my Apple ID. I want to be Able to see the location of the house/kids phone and my phone. Right now the Find my Phone app only shows one phone location not both.
thank you
iPhone 13, iOS 17
Give the phones different names (Settings/General/About/Name) and you should be able to distinguish them in Find My.
In general, however, phones used by different people should have different Apple ID accounts. Apple IDs are personal; they shouldn’t be shared any more than you would share a toothbrush. If you share an Apple ID with someone else many bad things will happen. Each user should have their own Apple ID, then you can create Family Sharing→What is Family Sharing? - Apple Support. That way you can share what you want to share and not share what you don’t want to share.
It is OK to share an Apple ID among devices used by one person, such as an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac; in fact, it is a very useful thing to do. But not between devices used by different people.
Here is Apple’s FAQ: https://appleid.apple.com/faq/#!&page=faq. See the 4th bullet item.
And here is Apple's expansion of what I've posted→Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID - Apple Support
