Location sharing with family members

When I go to Settings/Apple ID/Family Sharing/Location Sharing, the toggles for Share My Location With are grayed out so I cannot activate sharing with family members. When I go to Settings/Apple ID/Find My, Share My Location is toggled on but again grayed out (along with the Family Sharing settings) so it cannot be changed. What's going on?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Thanks. Screen Time didn't seem to be the problem (and the device is not managed), but in Settings/Privacy and Security/Location Services/System Services Share My Location was toggled off for some reason. Changing that fixed the problem.

● If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), a frequent reason is it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.
