I’ve just downloaded iOS 17.3 and activated stolen device protection. If I want to turn it off, it says I have to wait an hour because I’m not at a familiar location BUT I’M HOME. How do I get this to recognize I’m at a familiar location?

I just learned today that you have to turn on Significant Locations. See About Stolen Device Protection for iPhone - Apple Support and go to the bottom where there is an asterisk that says, "Significant Locations is an option within Location Services: Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations."
Nothing
It doesn’t answer the question, I work from home so I am here probably 80% of the time minimum but I have to wait for an hour to make changes because of this ridiculous flaw!
I’m using a vpn but when I’m on maps it shows my current location. I also have iCloud relay and advanced protection on.
Same
Same had this problem 88888 times and don’t know how to fix it
So frustratingly ridiculous. And typical Apple silence and zero support.
I'm on 18.0.1, and still having this issue.
Your location is end-to-end encrypted. Apple can tell you are in the same one, but not where it is.
Same it’s soo anoying when you have to wait one hour to change some settings because “your not in a familiar location” but I’M FLIPPEN AT HOME
What should I do if iOS 17.3 doesn't recognize my home as a familiar location?
