Hi. I have Find My iPhone set up on various devices, which have always worked fine. I recently bought my daughter an iPhone 4 and this is showing up in the app, but it states ‘not sharing location’. As far as I can see, all the settings on her phone are set to share location; I have tried switching them (and the phone) on and off, but no change. I have also read all the relevant threads I can find here. Starting to tear my hair out!
iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2
Choose when to share
Family Sharing lets you decide whether or not you share your location with your family.
To see if you're sharing, follow these steps:
- Go to your location sharing settings.
- If you're using iOS 11 or later, tap Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing.
- If you're using iOS 10.3, tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
- If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings > iCloud.
- Tap Share My Location.
- If you want to choose a family member to share your location with, tap their name.
To stop sharing your location, turn off Share My Location. This hides your location from all of your family members and your approved friends. And when you're ready to share your location again, you can turn it back on at any time.
