Greetings, paezneil.
I see that you're unable to locate your son using Find My Friends. You receive a message that your son's location isn't available, and I'm happy to help.
Get help using Find My Friends
If you see a No location available label for friends
You might not see your friend's location for these reasons:
- Your friend might need to correct the date on their device. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
- The device is off or isn't connected to cellular or Wi-Fi.
- Your friend turned on Hide My Location in Find My Friends.
- Your friend turned off Location Services in Settings > Privacy > Location Services or in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Find Friends.
- Your friend isn't signed in to Find My Friends on the device being located.
- The device is in a country or region where Apple doesn't offer this feature. This feature might not be available in all countries or regions due to technical limitations or local law.
A device's previous location is available for two hours. After two hours, you see Location not available.
Take care!
