Location not found - Off Network after 26.3 update- How do I fix it?

Before the 26.3 update, sharing my location with people worked via text messages and on the find my iPhone. Now after the update, my location no longer works when people try to see it. My location settings are enabled in the sharing my location, as well as in the Find My app, I’m sharing my location with them indefinitely but it still shows No location found - Off Network. Everything is turned on. How can I fix this or can it even be fixed?

iPhone 14, iOS 26

Not sure if this will help you but I was having the exact same issue and I found a location sharing toggle turned off in the below section:


go to Settings- Privacy & Security - Location Services - scroll all the way down to System Services - and I found “share my location” was turned off??


I’ve never even been in this section of my settings so must’ve been the update. Hope this helps!

If Person A stops sharing their location with Person B on Find My, Person B will not be notified directly that Person A has made this change. The location will simply no longer appear for Person B in the Find My app, and they won't be alerted with a notification or message. However, Person B may eventually notice that they can no longer see Person A's location when they check the app.


The change made by Person A, such as stopping location sharing, may not always be intentional. There are several reasons why this could happen, such as:

  • Person A's device may not be connected to the internet, which could prevent the location sharing from updating properly.
  • Person A may have reset their settings for another reason, like troubleshooting or updating their device, and forgotten to re-enable location sharing.


These factors can lead to Person B noticing the absence of location sharing without understanding the full cause.



To use Find My and Location Services on an iPhone effectively, both your iPhone and the device you're trying to locate must have an active internet connection. These services rely on internet access to share your location with friends and family and to track the locations of devices, people, and items. Without internet connectivity on either end, the sharing and locating features of Find My and Location Services will not function properly.
