Getting Realtime position of my wife's iPhone

How do I track or monitor where another iPhone is in real time? My wife and I are sharing locations in the Find MY app and it appears that our settings are correct. But, she has to send me a text message for me to see where she is in the Maps app.. I want to be able to see where she is in realtime.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26

I hate to say it, but I do not think it’s the location sharing that’s not working, I’ve personally went through this myself. My wife has a developer UI that runs on her phone at certain locations, and it will automatically change the time zones to make it appear as though she was where she says she was. The location itself can be edited and deleted. These phones have ruined us and I’ve personally watched the tech become easier to use, and sneakier than ever. GitHub, rotary phone, UTM Calculator, Auth2 ceritificates , google firebase, APIs , private and public keys, mime and aka emails, techs become a bored woman’s best friend. Personally im going through much more then just location sharing. But it started out like that. Her maps showing up at a place other the. Work for hours here and there. It’s not the phone, it’s the user.
