Why can't I see my friend's location in the Find My app?

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble with location sharing in the Find My app. I've set up location sharing with someone, and they can see my location just fine. However, I'm having trouble seeing their location - it shows their contact name, but the location isn't updating. We've tried removing and re-sharing locations multiple times, and all settings seem correct. Both devices are updated, and location services are enabled. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
