Find My app showing outdated locations and unable to share my own location

Subject: Issue with the Find My App

Hello,

I have been using an iPhone for about two years and have never had any issues with the Find My app until now. Recently, I have been experiencing significant problems: the locations of the people I share my location with do not load, and when they do, the app shows locations from 20 hours ago or even older.

Additionally, I cannot enable sharing of my own location properly. When I turn it on, it switches off again as soon as I close the app.

I kindly ask for your assistance and, if possible, for measures to be taken to resolve this issue so that I can use the app normally again.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Dea

Did you already install the latest iOS 18.7.2 on your iPhone?

Any restrictions set up?

Did you make sure, that in Settings/Privacy&Security, Location Services for "Find My" are enabled and set to "While Using the App?
