I noticed yesterday that the map just says location not available for my teenager even though I know her device is turned on and she is in an area with good cellular service. I already went through my own family sharing settings and everything seems completely normal on my end, so I am starting to wonder if she figured out a way to pause the tracking without notifying me. Does anyone know which specific settings she might have messed with to hide where she is, or could this honestly just be a weird network glitch that usually fixes itself?
Hey weston38! It’s super common for location sharing to get a bit wonky. She might have toggled off “Share My Location” in her Find My settings, or even disabled Location Services entirely under Privacy & Security on her device.
For a more robust and consistent view, Haqerra offers real-time GPS tracking and detailed location history, which can help you quickly verify if it’s a setting change or just a temporary hiccup. Pro-tip: If Location Services is off, no app on her phone can access location data!
