Find my location not working after iOS 26.3 update

My iPhone is an 16 Pro Max and I have updated to iOS 26.3 and now I don’t show up on any of my families FindMy app. What gives?

I’ve tried so called “solutions” here and from people on YouTube and it hasn’t done anything.

I did notice in the beginning when my wife pointed out I wasn’t showing up that my address didn’t show up in my own FindMy app. After switching some things off and on in the Setup I have since got my address showing back up in the FindMy app. But I still don’t show up on any other family members FindMy.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26

Update, I have found the problem and it did occur during the update. Even asking ChatGPT revealed that setup configurations can get reset during an update.

Setup

Privacy and Security

Location Services and scroll all the way down

System Services

Scroll down to Share my Location (Mine was turned of by the update)

another switch that could be off and causing a location problem is Networking and Wireless (mine was not off).

so there you have it. Not caused by a VPN, not caused by no internet connection. iOS update switched off Shared Location in System Services. So there, caused by the update. I told you didn’t I?

It certainly makes you wonder doesn’t it?

Thank you OP!

This has been driving my wife and I bonkers!

Oh how far Apple has fallen off the QC bandwagon. Sad sight.

Find My isn’t working on my MacBook Air since 26.3.1. Haven’t checked my Mac mini yet but iPhone and iPad seem to be ok. How do I fix?

Thank you so much for this! My husband and i had the same issue after my iphone 15 updated to 26.5. System Services was toggled off as you described, so turning it on fixed the issue.

I had the same problem with the iOS 26.3 update. I tried all the fixes in Google and YouTube. None of them worked nor suggested the “Privacy and Security" ➡️ "Location Sevices" ➡️ scroll to the bottom "System Services” ➡️ “Share My Location” and switch it back on. In fact if you think about it, why is this setting even there if you have already switched it on in SEVERAL other places? Thank you none the less.
