Find My settings issues

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.
