Hi Celestink1,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. We know it's important to be able to be able to locate family members, and we have a resource that should help.
See the information below, from the resource titled If Find My Friends isn't working:
"If you don't see your friend's location
- Your friend might need to correct the date on their device. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
- The device is off or isn't connected to cellular or Wi-Fi.
- Your friend turned on Hide My Location in Find My Friends.
- Your friend turned off Share My Location.
- Your friend turned off Location Services in Settings > Privacy > Location Services; Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Share My Location; or in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Find Friends.
- Your friend turned off Share My Location in Settings > [your name] > Find My > Share My Location.
- Your friend isn't signed in to Find My Friends on the device being located.
- The device is in a country or region where Apple doesn't offer this feature. This feature might not be available in all countries or regions due to technical limitations or local law.
A device's previous location is available for two hours. After two hours, you see Location not available."
Best wishes.
