Find My settings issues
28/10/25 Filed in: Find My | location services
Why can't I see my kid on "Find My"?
___________
There are several things that can get in the way of one phone sharing its location with another. But this should be fairly straightforward since you are family. First thing to check is to ensure he is a part of your family in the family settings. Then under “find my” you can hit the Plus sign and start sharing your location with him. His phone will then get a notification that you’ve started sharing your location and he’ll be prompted to also share his location back.
Possible issues are: person is not part of your family, person has certain parental controls turned on that do not allow any sharing at all, person’s phone has location services turned off.

iPad to mirror to larger screen
Can I use an external monitor to just make my iPad bigger? My sight is going and I just need to see things bigger.
___________
A couple things to consider. If your iPad is an M1 or higher, it can do a lot of magical things on the second screen. None of which are anything you guys will care about. As your purpose is just to enlarge the viewing area. So MIRRORING is all you’ll be looking to do. And even older iPads can do that. One thing to consider however is that since the iPad is not the same ratio as a monitor, there will be black bars on each side of the monitor. There are some tricks that can be done to get rid of that but you’ll probably just be fine with the larger viewing area regardless I bet.
