Many
iphone X/8 and iPhone 7/6s /iPad users are facing issue with share my location
feature in iPhone, specially after upgrade to iOS 11.4 and even with iOS 12
beta3. This is weird and annoying as you will be unable to see friends in Find
Friends or any devices in Find iPhone (though others can see me). Other
location services are working correctly. Select Share My Location from Location
Services, a pop up says “Your Device Is Not Connected to the Internet” and when
user tries to toggle share my location
on and off, I then get a message Share My Location Unavailable Unable to
connect to server. Please try again later.
One
iPhone users quoted it as
So
I have an iPhoneX and anIpad mini and I share my location on both products. All
of a sudden today I started getting this message when I tried to change my
location to a device: "Share My Location Unavailable. Unable to connect to
the server. Please try again later." Also can not log in to find my iPhone
and check other peoples location on find my friends. HELP PLEASE
In
such cases if is recommended to check the system status of all Apple server for
the specific service. You can check them here Check Find My Friends on the System Status page for
issues.
