I can not share my location since the iOS 26 update. Prior to update I had been sharing location with 2 family members. Their location used to appear in their contact profile. It is no longer there. If I go to Find My I can see them however. I have tried troubleshooting and doing a hard restart of phone but it hasn’t resolved the issue. Anybody else experiencing this?

Original Title: Location sharing
iPhone 16 Pro Max
After my wife got a new phone, my daughter and I were no longer able to see her location, even though her Find My said she was sharing. Here's what worked for us:
1) In Settings under Location Services, make sure Find My is enabled;
2) Still under Location, drill down to System Services and *again* enable the toggle for Share Location/Find My. (This "aha" find felt like it should have resolved the issue, but didn't.)
3) Finally, send an iMessage to the person(s) who cannot see your location, and use the + feature to add your current location to the message.
That final step did the trick for us, we now see the user's location permanently in the Find My app, not just her momentary location in Messages. I hope this helps some others.
Did the same… and they suggested the same to me or a new Apple ID. Neither are feasible for me too. I got a new phone hoping that would fix and nothing.
Me too
