Find My app - not allowing 'always'

I just got the new iPhone 17. The Find My app doesn't have the option to 'always' allow my location, it only shows 'while using'. Shouldn't it have an option to 'always' allow my location so it's constantly sharing/available to find my devices?

There is no longer a setting "Always". Your iPhone can still be located in Find My with only "While Using." My own iPhone has this setting and I can locate it on Find My using my other devices or by going to iCloud.com.
