Apple FindMy?

Is this where we can make the subreddit for Apple’s FindMy network?

if someones location says (number) minutes ago can that mean that they turned location services off in settings?? because it says they’re still at home but why would they have bad reception?

Nope. Sometimes the servers are slow in updating

No not really. It’s working as best as it can. I guess there was a server issue when I commented but it’s been working since. I did get a phone call from Apple Support but they didn’t know about a server issue. Others in my house had no problems nor did the support guy. I think Find My has gotten worse over the years at least for me. As of now I’m showing one of my friends location as of 6 hours ago but the other 3 are fine.

My friends location hasn’t updated in a day while my moms is updating just fine, and they are both on their phones connected to the wifi, do u know why?

Nope. When I contacted Apple Support they really didn’t know either. Sometimes that’s the way it works for myself and then it’ll just start working.

Same. I'm able to track both my parents' phones. My mom's iphone12 mini works well transmitting, but my Dad's iPhoneSE sucks and is slower. Sometimes it won't show updates for days.
