Slow Find My Phone and Inaccurate Location on iPhone

I have noticed slowing in my safari and my coverage at home only so I started looking into why. I used find my phone with location set to precise location.


when my data bar shows 1 or 1/2 a bar I check my location of my phone and my phone is around the corner at the neighbors house. Oh and my phone is black. I select play the tune and it takes 10 minutes to return even though my location dot is at my home.


apple stated to uninstall the app and reinstall, this didn’t fix the issue. Now what?

Find My Being Off:

Once Find MY is turned on, expect it to take upto two days at Max to show. The location shown is all based on an IP Address. If you are connected to your neighbor's router, at your neighbor's house, then it would be shown there.
