location sharing doesnt work without wifi

when someone else with an iPhone shares their location with me in iMessage, I can only see their location when my iPhone is connected to WiFi. Yes, I’ve checked my location settings.

Hi Tiffb4u98,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


From your post, I understand that when someone else shares their location with you in Messages, you are only able to see their location when your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, but not cellular. I’m happy to help you troubleshoot this situation.


You did mention that you have checked the settings for Location Services, but I would recommend reading over and working through the information in the following article to continue troubleshooting:

Cheers!
