So, I have family members added to Find My.
For my son and wife, I see them under the People tab, AND I see their Apple devices on the Devices tab.
For my daughter, I only see her iPhone under Devices. I can see it’s location correctly. BUT while her name is indeed listed under People, it states No Location Found and never shows location no matter how long you wait.
Ideas?

A Last Few Thoughts:
A. Uninstall Security & Privacy Software:
Any Security & Privacy Software installed on your iPhone? If so, uninstall it, in accordance with the developer, as it may be blocking out locating services, or redirecting it. Security & Privacy Software just gets in the way on an Apple device, and this is a pure example as to how and why.
B. Check for Updates:
Two Major Steps: - Backup then Update
1. Backup First: Make a backup of your device using iCloud or your computer
2. Then, Update Using These Links:

I tried everything above and nothing helped. I could immediately see the device but not the person who owns the device no matter what I did.
In the end, setting things up fresh AND letting it sit overnight fixed it. Not very satisfying explanation but it’s not worth diving deeper to understand what refresh parameters Apple is using on the server side.
Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for Connections) become manipulated, technically. L
So, reset the SMC and NVRAM. Your connections may not be being read promptly. So having reset these, all of the networking settings would be configured to how they should be..

Check Location Settings:
On the iPhone itself, enable it, so it can be seen:
Wait a few for it to all sync up.
There is no SMC / NVRAM on iOS that I know and we don’t own a Mac.
The Location Services options are already on and configured. If they weren’t I doubt the iPhone device itself would be discoverable.
