Family Location Sharing

My child's phone is not sharing location data. I have followed all of the steps to enable location sharing and Find My indicates it is on and sharing the information. Additionally, my child's Find My app does not show the people tab. Is it not up to date?

iPhone SE (Gen 2)

Family members can see my devices location, but not my ”people” location How are these connected (device location vs. people location), how do I get myself show in ”Find my” app as a person, not just all my devices. Currently it says ”Location not available” below my name (or something similar, I don’t use it in English). I would like to have my personal location based on where my iPhone is.

How share location if using a shared apple id across multiple iphones I have my kids using my own Apple ID on their own iPhones. If they want to share their location with friends on the Find My app, it winds up sharing my location. I know how to differentiate the iPhones using the Family method, but I'm thinking I wouldn't want to use that option when they are sharing their location with friends. Is there a way to do this?

Sharing Location on Find My Hello! I am trying to share my location with my daughter, but it keeps saying "share location unavaliable. Please try again later." We have shared before, but then I do not know what happened, so I tried again but it keeps popping up that message. I have already tried factory resetting my phone and checked if my location is on. She is able to share it with me, but I am unable to do it with her. If anyone has any advice on how to trouble fix this, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance!

Check your child’s:

Settings -> AppleID (name) -> FindMy -> Share my Location.

You might also review the following articles and configure his/her phone to prevent these settings from being inadvertently turned “off.”
