iPhone 17 Pro's Find My not showing friends' locations after iOS 26 update

We purchased two iPhones 17 pro max, and the ‘find my’ isn’t updating correctly. We see friends on our old 14pros and our iPads, but not all are showing on the new phones. One in particular has a verison phone plan vs we have Att. Don’t see how that would cause the issue however. It’s been 48 hours and they still show ‘no location found”. We called support yesterday, and were elevated to a higher level but haven’t received callback

Same issue here. You found a fix yet?

The same thing is happening to me. I will give it some more time, but I activated my phone last night and this morning it still hasn't "fixed" itself.

did it fix itself in the end or no?

I figured it out! If anyone still needs an answer- upon sharing your location through iMessage you still have to go to the FindMy app and on the bottom right click Me and then turn on share my location ! Hope this helps <3
