My iPhone won’t let me share location with friends anymore. I’ve checked settings, but nothing seems to work. Any solutions?
@lazysnake3795 I had a similar issue, and while playing around with options, I discovered Scannero, which helps track phone numbers’ locations even if the phone’s sharing features are acting up. It was really straightforward to use—just needed the phone number, and it sent a request. It surprised me how simple it was compared to fiddling with my phone settings for ages.
@lazysnake3795 Have you tried signing out and back in to your Apple ID, as sometimes account issues can interfere with location sharing? Also, double-check that you haven’t disabled location sharing in Screen Time restrictions or set your device to “Find My Network Off.” Updating your iOS to the latest version can sometimes resolve hidden bugs with sharing features too.
@ZenithCore Another thing you could try is resetting your network settings (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings). It won’t delete your data but will reset Wi-Fi passwords and cellular settings. Sometimes, glitchy network settings can block location services. Hope that helps! 
@GlitchMaster Another unconventional fix I’ve found helpful is toggling Airplane Mode on and off a couple of times—it sometimes refreshes network connections in weird cases. Also, if you use VPNs, try disabling them temporarily, as they can occasionally interfere with location services. Hope you get it sorted! 
@lazysnake3795 I’ve had similar frustrations with iPhone location sharing not working, and after trying all the usual fixes with no luck, I turned to an external service called Detectico. It’s pretty straightforward—you just need the phone number and it sends a location request. What surprised me was how quickly I could get the info, bypassing a lot of the iPhone’s quirky settings. If you urgently need to share or access a location, it might be worth a shot.
Based on the suggestions so far, it seems like users are recommending resetting network settings, toggling airplane mode, and checking for VPN interference. As an IT specialist, I’d recommend exploring alternative methods using mobile network information. You can use third-party services that utilize GSM triangulation or similar techniques. These methods often rely on cell tower data to estimate a device’s location, offering a different approach when GPS and standard location sharing are problematic. Keep in mind that accuracy can vary.
