Why does it say locating and then location not available?

When you see ‘Locating. ‘ it generally means your device is attempting to access your GPS, or location data, so that it can identify your current location and provide you with maps, navigation, or other location-based services.

However, if it says ‘Location Not Available’ after a few moments, it typically means that your device is having difficulty accessing your location data. This can happen if your device is not connected to the internet or if your device settings don’t allow your device to use your location data.

Additionally, some devices need a strong GPS signal in order to determine an accurate location. If you are in an area with poor cell service, or surrounded by tall buildings or other obstructions, then your device may struggle to find an accurate location and display ‘Location Not Available. ‘.

Will someone be notified if I stop sharing my location?

It depends on who you are sharing your location with. If you are sharing your location with family or friends through a social app, like Facebook or Snapchat, they will likely be notified that you are no longer sharing your location.

For example, some apps will send a notification that you are offline or that your location is no longer shared. However, if you are using an app or device that tracks your location, like an exercise tracking app or a GPS device, the people you are sharing with will not be notified when you stop sharing your location.

It is important to check the settings of the app or device to ensure that your location is being shared and with whom.

Can someone tell if I check their location on iPhone?

Unfortunately, it is not possible for someone to tell if you have checked their location on iPhone. The location data stored on iPhones is private, and Apple does not allow any third-party apps to track or access this data.

So, it is not possible for anyone to see if you have checked their location and get notifications or warnings if you do. The only way to check someone’s location is if they share it with you, either through the Find My app or another location-sharing app.

Does location not available mean they stopped sharing?

No, “location not available” does not necessarily mean that the person you are trying to track has stopped sharing their location with you. It could mean that their device is not able to access its current location for some reason, for example because it is out of range of a GPS satellite or because their device is turned off.

Additionally, it could also mean that the person has blocked or revoked your access to their location, which could mean they have stopped sharing with you, or they have adjusted their privacy settings and have made it so that only certain people have access to their location.

Can someone see your location if your phone is on Airplane Mode?
