If you are not able to complete the "Share your location" feature in Family sharing, take a look at the resource below and compare your settings. Specifically, you can 1) toggle off and toggle on the Location Services, and 2) make sure you choose the device that you want to share from. Then restart your iPhone and see if the issue persists.
Family Sharing and location
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201087How it works
When you join a family, you'll be asked if you want to share your location with your family members. If you agree:
- Your location might be displayed on family members’ devices using iOS 8 or later in Find My Friendsand Messages.
- The location of your shared devices will also appear on family members’ devices in Find My iPhone. If needed, you can choose which device you want to share your location from.
If your family members agree, you'll see their location in the apps on your devices.
Choose when to share
When you join a family, you can choose whether or not you want to share your location.
You can see your settings when you go to Settings > iCloud > Share My Location.
If you want to stop sharing your location, turn off Share My Location. This will hide your location from all of your family members and any of your approved friends.
To choose which family members to share your location with, tap their name.Choose which device to share your location from
By default, the device you used to sign in to Family Sharing is the one that shares your location. If you want to share your location from a different device:
- Go to Settings > iCloud > Share My Location and tap From.
- Select which device you want to share from.
Take care,
