Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, 3517golden19.
If I understand your post correctly, your friends are seeing an old location for you. I'm happy to help.
Try these steps:
If a location is old or inaccurate
You might not see a device's current location if it needs to update in iCloud. Wait a few minutes, then try again.
If you're signed in to Find My Friends on more than one device, you might need to check which of your devices your friends can see:
- On an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Me, then tap your active device under Share My Location From. This choice only appears when you're currently signed in to Find My Friends on multiple devices.
- On an iPad, tap the List button, tap Me, tap Info, then tap your active device under Share My Location From. This choice only appears when you're currently signed in to Find My Friends on multiple devices.
Friends can't see the location of your Apple Watch. They see the location of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
