Sharing location & would like to continue to do so.

Why does it keep asking me “if I want to continue sharing location “ when I try to delete a text? NO, I DON'T WANT TO STOP just because I don't want to keep every text. Someone asked this very same question in 2020 - the response given was: "Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that when you try to delete a text message you're prompted to verify if you'd like to continue sharing your location. I can see why you'd reach out for more information about this; I'm happy to help. It sounds like location sharing may have been enabled for the contact or contacts that you're attempting to erase messages from. Take a look below for how to check if you're sharing your location and how to stop." THAT IS THE QUESTION - BUT THE RESPONDER MISSED THE POINT. I DO NOT WANT TO STOP SHARING MY LOCATION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL & the constant need to click something else making it likely that you WILL in fact stop sharing your location is frustrating.

Just for the record .. It doesn't matter where you share your location from .. I DO share my location from the Finder app and STILL get this annoying message every time I try to delete a text message to one of those people. I even have the Share My Location with Family members turned on.. This has been an issue for years now and I've yet to see a response from Apple support ..

This is still happening and is still very frustrating… every time, every text / iMessage I am asked if I want to stop sharing my location with those I have chosen to share my location with! I DO NOT! Does anyone have the knowledge and or a fix for this problem without joining the merry go round of advice or supposed help from some who simply do not comprehend the problem? Thank you.

This issue is still a problem and is extremely annoying. I get rid of messages daily but do NOT want to stop sharing my location in Find my Friends. One has nothing to do with the other. It’s too easy to miss the question of whether you want to stop sharing the location and click on yes. Also I don’t think the question always shows up.

if someone wants to stop sharing location they can do it directly in Find my Friends. Please STOP asking that annoying question everytOme you want to delete a message.
