Imessage location sharing not working

Me and my friend are trying to share out locations. We both have fully updated Iphone 6's. We had it shared for a long time then I stopped being able to see hers and eventually she stopped being able to see mine. It just says "Location not available" . Sometimes I still get what town she is in and it often flashes for a second and shows me the location but never for more than a split second. How can we both fix this? It happens on both our phones.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4.1

I've had this same problem, used to be able to see my husband's shared location from his iPhone on my iPhone but it doesn't work after os9 update.

Interestingly, it still works via iMessage on my laptop. Anyone have a solution?

iCloud doesn't let me access the share my location page. I can't turn it off or anything, and iCloud continuously asks me to input my password even though I'm putting the right password. Any suggestions?

Has anyone gotten a response from Apple that fixed the problem?

I’m having the same problem. Anyone can see my location but I can not see theirs. It says “location not available” .

Hey I just got mine to work by going to Settings -> Apple ID (Tap your name at the top of the settings list)-> "Family Sharing" -> "Location Sharing" On. Hope this helps!
