Iphone 16 iOS 18.2 not updating live location info

We have 5 iphone 16's in our household. 1 of them didn't update location info for more than a day before it fixed itself. That was in December.


Recently 2 more iphones haven't updated, 1 for more than 2 days and the other 1 day. Weird thing is when I go into find my device their phones are showing up at the correct location just not updating on their profile.


I put my phone on airplane mode and turned off wifi etc to see if it was my phone doing it but after doing that it's still not updating.




iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

To use Find My and Location Services on an iPhone effectively, both your iPhone and the device you're trying to locate must have an active internet connection. These services rely on internet access to share your location with friends and family and to track the locations of devices, people, and items. Without internet connectivity on either end, the sharing and locating features of Find My and Location Services will not function properly.
