Fixed: "Location Expired" message on iPhone (2)

I'm submitting this just to provide a fix that I found for this issue that I didn't find listed on any other forums, or articles online. For me, the reason was that my device wasn't selected in the Location Sharing options.


My process was:

  • Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Share My Location
  • Next to "My Location" was my phone's name with a (2) next to it (perhaps something that happened when I transferred my data from an older iPhone over a year ago when I got my current iPhone), and an option to select instead "This Device."
  • I selected "This Device" and went back through the normal location sharing process and it worked.


Clearly there are multiple reasons location sharing could not be working (here's an article that lists every other solution I've seen proposed: but again, I just wanted to share a process that fixed my issue since I didn't see it listed anywhere else.


Hope this helps some folks out there!
