How to stop being asked, "Would you like to stop sharing your location?".

My wife, daughter and I track each other using Find My Friends. Whenever I delete an iMessage I am asked, nonsensically, "Would you like to stop sharing your location with the participants of this conversation?"


The answer is obviously "No" and I have no idea why I must always answer this question. I see this issue has been raised by others but I can't find an answer. Is there a way to allow tracking and shut off this nonsensical prompt?


I phoned Apple and the answer provided is even more nonsensical. In essence, Apple provides no answer whatsoever.


Thanks,

In fact, what use case data do you have to go on? I've been fighting this for years. I have many family members that I share my location with. I chose "indefinitely" for sharing my location. If I want to change that, I can. I delete group chat message threads with them on a regular basis. I am constantly having to dismiss that message. Why doesn't it remember that I wanted to share my location indefinitely? Why does it not remember that I dismissed that message five minutes ago? Very frustrating. I will not find that many, if not most users do NOT delete messages routinely. This is a tactic to make us buy more cloud storage. Same reason you can't bulk-delete photos from message threads. You have to delete them one image at a time, or delete the whole message. This is an annoyance tactic to sell more cloud storage.
