Live does not work when all your contacts are shown on the map (the main 'People' screen). I have not tried adding any new people lately.įor the live updates to work, you do have to select a particular person and have the app focused on their specific location. In my case, it's been working for a while now for everyone that I have in Find My. There's definitely issues with it getting working, but once it does start it's great. Perhaps my search terms are not good enough, but I typically can find answers, if they exist, before posting questions like this.ĭoes anyone know what I could be missing? Is there a setting somewhere that turns on/off the live updates in FindMy? I have also searched the web and these forums. I have scoured the settings but have been unable to find what might be blocking the live updates. Given that the iPhone X is working, I am certain that this is not a phone model specific issue. The others that do work include an iPhone X, iPhone 11 Pro Max and an iPhone 12 Pro Max. The phone that is not giving live updates is an iPhone XS Max. the location works, but it is updated every few seconds/minutes. Of the four of us, three of us show up as live location, but the fourth does not.

One of the main features I was interested in was the live location updates in the Find My app. All four of us have iPhones and have upgraded to iOS 15. I have 4 people in my family (including myself).
