Why does “FIND MY” keep sending notifications that I have just arrived repeatedly

I have FIND MY set up so that I will know when my daughter arrives at and leaves home. There must be some sort of glitch. It will alert me when she arrives or leaves as requested for alerting me every time. That is all fine and well, but the problem is that it keeps sending that alert over and over. For example, she got home at 8:30 PM and I was alerted properly. However, it continually sends them at more random times, although she has not left home again. It will timestamp it as the time it pings each additional time it alerts me for the very same arrival notification. It sucks because it goes off at wee hours of the morning. If I cancel it, then I can no longer track when she leaves or arrives at home. How do I fix this? I have tried everything. It also happens on my daughters phone too.


We just need the one and only alert as expected.

iPhone X, iOS 15

Hi there GYPSYWOMYN,


Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.


We understand that Find My alerts are not working as expected. We're happy to help.


Do both you and your daughter use separate Apple IDs? This is important for the alerts to work correctly. It's also important for each family member to have their own Apple ID: Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID - Apple Support


Also, make sure that the alerts are set up correctly:

If that's all set and you're both using two separate Apple IDs, we recommend ensuring that iOS is up-to-date on both devices. Before updating, we recommend backing up your iPhone first. These articles can be of help. When you back up, you can back up using a Mac or PC rather than iCloud if you choose.

Finally, if you're still having an issue, we recommend getting in touch with Apple Support: Contact Apple Support


That should help.


Take care.
