Location sharing

Family with iPhone XS sends current location and I accept it on my iPhone 11. However when I request location through messages, it says location not available. Previously locations coming through were way off and not accurate. Only recently problem started.

iOS devices might use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to determine your location. GPS and cellular location are available on iPhone and iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) models.

  4. Select Send.
  5. Choose to share your location for One Hour, Until End of Day, or Share Indefinitely.
