Find My Friends App

I went to locate a my daughter in the Find My Friends app, but it said that “this person was not sharing their location”, and under devices, it said “Online, but not sharing location.” It wasn’t the common “Location Not Found”issue. Can the app just spontaneously stop sharing a persons location, or does that feature always have to be manually turned off by the user?

The user likely turned it off.


If your daughter is young, her iPhone use could be restricted so she would be unable to turn it off.
