Resolved: Live View in Find My app not working

I had the same problems other people were having with Live View. It just stops working out of the blue. After weeks of playing around with it and surcharging for solutions but never finding any… This is how I finally fixed it.


I made sure my friend and I were both sharing location data in Find My. Then I went to Google Maps and started sharing my location indefinitely and my friend did the same. AND WALAH! It fixed the problem and I was immediately able to see the green ring around my friends pic on the Find My app!! Hope this helps others that are searching for answers too. Best of luck!
