If you're having trouble with Location Services on your iPhone and receiving the "Share My Location Unavailable: Unable to connect to server" error message, there are a few things you can try:
- Check your internet connection:
- Connecting to Wifi is the first part and then getting connected to the Internet is the second
- If you connect to Wifi, doesn't necessarily mean you are connected to the internet. If you are not connected to wifi could be a problem with iPhone settings or Router/Modem Settings
- If you are not connected to the internet is the sole issue of Router / Modem Settings. Contact your ISP immediately
- Check your WiFi Router / Modem for --> Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points ...
- Connecting to Wifi is the first part and then getting connected to the Internet is the second
- Make sure your iPhone is connected to the internet and that you have a strong and stable connection. If you're using cellular data, check your signal strength and consider switching to Wi-Fi.
- Check Apple's system status:
- Sometimes, issues with Location Services can be caused by problems on Apple's servers. Check the Apple System Status page (Apple - Support - System Status) to see if there are any ongoing issues that may be affecting Location Services.
- Reset Location & Privacy settings:
- Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. This will reset all your location and privacy settings to their default values, so you'll need to re-enable permissions for any apps that require them.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to try contacting Apple support for further assistance.
