“Location is off” on shared location map

Location shared with person. Go into text, name, and current location. On that map, there is a banner saying “location is off.” If follow the prompts all locations are on and shared with this person. It ALWAYS says this, however is able to track “live” at times and others not (45 min ago - last known location). Neither person is turning location off to create this issue.

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

Determining when geolocation is turned off in the Locator app on iPhone How can I find out when geolocation is turned off in the Locator app on my iPhone? In other words, I can go to the Locator app in the settings, then click on "Geolocation," click on "Never allow access to geolocation," and the Locator app will show that I'm staying in the same location and that my geolocation is updating, as if I'm actually in that location. However, there is no "Location unavailable" message, and it shows "Updated now," as if it's the person's actual location, but it's not. How can I calculate this?

What does a Purple Arrow mean in Location Sharing? I have shared my location indefinitely with someone but I am confused when I have checked my settings. Does a purple arrow next to Share My Location mean that the person I have shared my location with has been checking my location? A purple arrow shows up often next to Find My IPhone but it can be hours before a purple arrow shows up next to Share My Location. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Location Service: Significant Locations - does not display history and accurate recently reported locations IoS 18.6.2. Significant Locations shows one location of the device (iphone in this case), but not the last location. The specific data, in this case, shows where I left from at 09:07, but not the locations along the trip route for the day, or where I stopped for lunch; nor does it show where I arrived to later in the afternoon. Why I would like this information? I have a parking ticket that is invalid for a couple of reasons, but the primary reason is that during the time of the alleged infraction, the car was not parked at all. I had left the site to begin the next leg of my trip. Sure seems that I should be able to see my own data for a use that is legitimately to my advantage? Thoughts?
