Share my location not showing contact's location

I Have an iPhone 5 and upgraded to iOS 8. My friend shared his location indefinitely and I've verified it, but his location won't show up in his details. Help! I've tried everything. Looked at both of our phones (his is a 6) and our settings look exactly the same. He can see my location, but I can't see his.

iPhone 5, iOS 8.1

i had the exact same problem -- other person could see my location when shared indefinitely but i could not see theirs. there is one small box that i found needed to be checked: settings --> privacy --> location services --> system services (at bottom) --> frequent locations --> must be checked green for on, and you will probably need to enter your apple ID to change it.


this worked for me - hope it helps!

Hi WhoaDae,


I understand that you are experiencing some issues with location services in iOS 8. Here is an article for you that should be able to help you clear up some of these issues:
