Location Sharing Settings

My boyfriend and I have each others location shared indefinitely. Sometimes, his location will go silent and when I click on the map it says “ no location found”. Does this indicate he has turned off his phone/wifi or would he have to also go into his location services and temporarily “turn it off” OR go into the “find my” app and turn it off etc.

All feedback is appreciated please and ty!

😊

If your boyfriend goes in and selects "Stop sharing location" in the Find app, you will be able to see that he is not sharing his location.


But if you see "No Location Found" it could be because:


  • If his iPhone does not have Mobile Data coverage
  • That he has turned off his iPhone
  • That he has switched off the Location Service
  • That he has turned off Mobile Data use, for the Find app.


I myself share my location with many of my family and I also see No Location Found from time to time. Often it just means that there is no proper network coverage - and I am reasonably sure that my 62-year-old mother will not go in and change the functions.
