New iPhone not showing up in family sharing

My daughter has had an iPad for some

time, which I can see and access through family sharing. She recently got her first iPhone. It is set up with the same apple

id as her iPad. But when I log into family sharing I can only see and set controls for the iPad, the iPhone does not show up.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

iPhone 13

Hello Danflash,


If the family member is looking to share the location of their device with the family then they may use the steps and information here: Share your location with your family - Apple Support


Share your location with a family member
You can share your location in Settings or the Find My app, and you can stop sharing your location at any time.
If you already set up a Family Sharing group
In iOS 16 or iPadOS 16 or later:
1. On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings.
2. Tap Family. 
3. Tap Location Sharing.
4. Under Share Your Location With, tap to choose which family members to share your location with. 

In iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 or earlier:
1. On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings.
2. Tap your name, then tap Family Sharing.
3. Tap Location Sharing.
4. Tap Share My Location. 


Family members may also choose which device they share the location from, as seen here:


Choose which device to share your location from
You can share your location from a different device. For example, if you share your location from an iPad, you can share your location from an iPhone that you own instead.
1. On the iPhone or iPad that you want to share your location from, open the Settings app.
2. Tap your name.
3. Tap Find My.
4. Tap Use this [device] as My Location.


Cheers.
