Ever since the last software update, FindMy doesn’t work well (suddenly only shows location from hours or days ago and won’t refresh). My family uses this app frequently to see one another’s location, and it used to work perfectly.
Please don’t tell me to check WiFi signal, airplane mode, restart devices, etc. I would not be reporting it if I hadn’t checked those things. This is a bug.

I understand what you’re saying. But the issue has persisted for a couple of months since the update. I have tested, accounting for the variables you described. Prior to the update, the app virtually never failed (a span of maybe 5 years). I’m not being critical of Apple, and if it sounds that way it wasn’t intended. I’m saying there is some set of variables that have caused a degradation in performance of the app since the upgrade. It may be specific to me or a small subset of users, but I don’t want it to be ignored as an issue that can be resolved with basic troubleshooting on the user end, which I’m fully capable of and have performed on my own.
Just updated Pro Max 12 iPhone and the same issue happened. People locations not updating but the devices are. All settings show sharing location IS happening. This seems like a bug that needs to get fixed.
1/6/2025, I just noticed today that Find My is not updating locations, it’s stuck showing the last location from 3 hours ago even though the family member has been verified to be 30+ miles away.
Here’s what eventually worked for me ON THE PHONE OF THE UNTRACKABLE PERSON:
> Apple account > Find my > share my location
Set to off for a minute or two, and then switch it back on
Find My won’t update location on iPhone after iOS update
