Why can’t I see my friend’s location in iMessage?

Why can’t I see my friend’s location in iMessage? I have 4 different people total that share their locations and I can see 3 off them in our messages except for one person. I have to go to the Find My app to locate them. They all have iPhones.

Location of friend not showing up in solo imessage chat but showing up in group chat and Find my iphone Me and my friend have always shared our locations with each other but recently (around the time I updated to ios 17) it has disappeared from my imessage when clicking on their name. We have tried stopping the find my iphone and reenabling it in imessage but that did not seem to work. The weirder part is I noticed that while they are in a group chat with me, they show up as one of the people I can see the location of but not when I go back to our solo messages. This is a problem unique to this person and they do not have the same problem.

Only one friend can’t see my location in Find My Only one specific person can’t see my location in the Find My app but I can see his, and everyone else can see mine. We did every step correctly to share our locations so it shouldn’t be the problem. If i send him my location in iMessages he can’t see it either. But it’s working with my other friends. Could it be a software problem? We both have iOS 17.2.1

That person may not have accepted to share their location with you.
