Do you have and internet connection? It is the minimum requirement to use Find My.


Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN. However, VPN actually reduces your privacy, it does not enhance it.

Hi Lawrence,

My VPN is says “not connected”

Yes, but as long as there is a VPN profile installed VPN can still mess up your network. So, as I said:
