Location Sharing “Expired”

My husband and I share our locations all the time. In the last two weeks, his location became occasional and very inaccurate. It would generally locate him in a metro area, but never in a very specific location like it used to. I finally fixed that issue by logging him out of his Apple ID account and logging him back in and re-sharing his location indefinitely.


Now, he can’t see my location even though I’ve re-shared my location. When I share my location indefinitely with him, it arrives in his texts and instantly reverts to “location expired.” I tried logging out of my Apple ID and logging back in since it solved the first problem, but it didn’t work. Any ideas?


These problems started after the 18.2.1 update.

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 18

The “Location Expired” popup message is most commonly associated with Apple’s Find My app. It appears when a Person A has shared their location with a Person B, but the location-sharing session has ended or is no longer active either on Person A's device or Person B's device.


This can happen for several reasons:

  • The person stopped sharing their location.
  • The temporary sharing session has reached its time limit (if set).
  • Their device is turned off or no longer connected to the internet.
