Can't find friends' location in the locator Не находит геопозицию друзей в локаторе

After upgrading to iOS 26.1, the app stopped finding my friends in the "People" tab in the locator. Although my geolocation is available and my friends can see it. I tried reinstalling the app, resetting the network and geolocation settings, but nothing helped.


What it looks like. I log into the app, my friends' location is loaded, and then the message "Location not found" appears under the name


После обновления до iOS 26.1 перестало находить моих друзей во вкладке "Люди" в локаторе. Хотя моя геопозиция доступна и друзья ее видят. Пробовал переустановку приложения, сброс настроек сети и геопозиции, ничего не помогло.

Как это выглядит. Я захожу в приложение, идет загрузка геопозиции моих друзей и после под именем появляется надпись "Геопозиция не найдена"

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.



Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

If you choose to share your location with your family members or friends, it's essential to be aware of the implications that come with this decision. While location sharing can have its benefits, such as making it easier to meet up with loved ones or ensuring their safety, it also carries potential risks.


When you share your location with family members or friends, it's important to understand that most location-sharing services or apps do not provide any alert or notification to let you know when someone starts tracking you.


First and foremost, once you grant someone access to track your location, they can monitor your movements at any time without your knowledge or consent. This lack of awareness may lead to a loss of privacy and the feeling of being constantly watched, which can be uncomfortable and intrusive.


Additionally, sharing your location indiscriminately or with acquaintances you don't fully trust could expose you to potential dangers. Unintended recipients, such as hackers or malicious individuals, could exploit this information to track and target you, jeopardizing your personal safety and security.


Therefore, it's crucial to exercise discretion and thoughtfulness when choosing whom to share your location with. Prioritize sharing your location only with people you trust completely and who genuinely need to know your whereabouts for legitimate reasons.


Here are some tips to stay safe while using location sharing:

  1. Avoid sharing your location with too many people or in public forums where strangers may gain access.
  2. Make sure to use reputable and secure location-sharing apps or features that offer privacy settings and allow you to control who can track you.
  3. If possible, consider sharing your location for a limited time period and then disabling it afterward.
  4. Talk with the individuals you're sharing your location with, and ensure they respect your boundaries and privacy concerns.
  5. Turn off location sharing when it's not necessary, especially in situations where your safety could be compromised.
  6. Periodically review your location-sharing settings to ensure they align with your current comfort level and needs.


Remember, while location sharing can be beneficial in certain situations, it's essential to strike a balance between convenience and safeguarding your privacy and personal security. By being judicious and cautious with location sharing, you can enjoy the benefits while minimizing potential risks.
