Part 1. A Comparison of No Location Found & Location Not Available

People who frequently use the Find My app for location sharing may encounter notifications of being unable to find their location. It's really frustrating that you can't successfully establish location contact with friends or family in time. In this section, we will introduce two types of errors where the location cannot be obtained: No Location Found and Location Not Available.

What Does Location Not Available Mean?

As shown in the figure, the error Location Not Available means that your current location cannot be tracked or obtained by the Find My app. Assuming you are in a place with a poor signal, the device may not be able to obtain your real-time geographic location. Location settings and network issues can also cause this issue.

What Does No Location Found Mean?

Displaying No location found under the device name indicates that the system cannot recognize the location of a specific device. You can check your network connection and so on. But this issue may not exactly occur on your device, your friend also needs to turn on location services and grant the Find My app location permission.

In order to let you see the similarities and differences between the two more clearly, we have prepared a table comparing them from multiple perspectives.

Notifications	Location Not Available	No Location Found
Common Reasons	Offline Apple device. Enabled Airplane Mode. Poor or unstable network.	Offline Apple device. Disabled location services. Location-unauthorized Find My app.
Changes	Location won't update if it works again.	Location will update if it works again.
Lasting Time	Temporarily	Permanently, if not any operations.

Additionally, you can also check the start and end times of system repairs.

Method 2. Launch Find My App Again
