How can I change the device that is being shared? I want to temporarily change my sharing device to a MacBook.

I am currently sharing my location with a few family members and want to switch the device they are tracking. I am trying to switch my device sharing to a MacBook rather than my iPhone.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

From the linked article:


When Share My Location is turned on, you can share your location with friends, family, and contacts from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Find My. You can also share your location in the Find People app on watchOS 6 or later with Apple Watch models that have GPS and cellular and are paired with your iPhone.


You cannot share your location from your MacBook.
