the greyed out location is because the location is an old or outdated location and is not being refeshed anymore. this is because the person who shared the location with you either turned off their phone or manually stopped sharing their location with you. judging from the message feed, i assume the person has stopped sharing your location with you. So, you get the last location that he was at while he was still sharing the location with you.

Thank you for replying. His location is/was shared when I took the screenshot. It kept jumping from grey to orange every few minutes, odd. Maybe a glitch or something to do with his or my connection. I’ve not seen it before. On my iPad it was doing it intermittently also but showed grey when my phone was showing orange!? I think I’ll just leave it to an Apple glitch. Sometimes it’s showing Chinese characters on the location too?!
Why is the map grey on location?
