Check <a href=\"http:\/\/nliteapps.com\/?p=5292\">this post<\/a> that shows how to share locations with friends.<\/p>\n<h4>Find My Friends cannot lock on my location<a id=\"trouble1\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Whenever you open Find My Friends, it checks if a location provider is enabled. If not, then you will not be able to see your location on the map, and of course exchange it with others. To enable your Location, go to your device&#8217;s &#8220;Settings&#8221; <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 19px; height: 19px; display: inline;\" src=\"http:\/\/nliteapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Settings-L-icon-300x300.png\" alt=\"Settings-L-icon\" \/> \u2192 &#8220;Location&#8221; and set the switch to ON:<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/nliteapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/device-2015-01-27-204305.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-5334 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/nliteapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/device-2015-01-27-204305-169x300.png\" alt=\"device-2015-01-27-204305\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nliteapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/device-2015-01-27-204305-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/nliteapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/device-2015-01-27-204305-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/nliteapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/device-2015-01-27-204305.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4>Location provider is enabled, but still can not get my location<a id=\"trouble2\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>We are aware of cases where after enabling a location provider, the device can not find the user&#8217;s location.
