Find my friends satellite view and live updates gone ios17

Has anyone figured out how to turn on satellite view in iMessage when looking at a friend’s location? I also am looking to go back to a real time live view that shows the person moving. Both of these were features in ios16 so not sure why ios17 would remove these.

imessage not showing location in satellite view like it did before the new ios17 update Does anyone know how to make shared location (through imessage) satellite view again on ios 17? It used to be through the Find My app, but now that doesn't change it in the imessage app. Even tried toggling it back and forth in the Find My app as well as Maps.

“Live” status IMessage Location Sharing Services Hi! I have a quick question referring to the location services and it’s tracking features. When sharing locations with a given contact, you are able to click on the contact’s information, and then click on the large location box, indicating where they are. I am aware that from iOS 15 and forward, the gps and refresh rate is no longer periodic, and rather spontaneous. When viewing someone’s location (via iMessages > info > location box) the status can give a time such as “a minute ago” as well as “live”. When the status indicates “Live” this simply refers to the phones GPS updating and has no correlation to someones real time activity on their phone, correct? Basically the “live” status does not necessarily mean someone is on their phone, right? I appreciate the assistance.
