iOS 17 Contact Widget Not Updating/Displaying Contact Locations

Since iOS 17 (now on iOS 17.1.2) my Contact widget doesn't update automatically or show locations under all the contact pics. Occasionally, opening the contact and letting it find them will then display their location on the widget, but not always.

Yes, I've searched for answers on the forum & web...nothing I've found works.

I've tried all the following on ALL the phones for the 4 contacts on the Contact Widget with NO luck:

Remove Contact widget, power off, power on, add Contact widget.

Sign out of Apple ID, power off, power on, sign in with Apple ID

Disable Find My, power off, power on, enable Find My

Disable Location Sharing, power off, power on, enable Location Sharing

I've also tried these options in combination...no luck.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I was able to fix this by ensuring that all contacts on the widget were not “linked contacts” and editing the location names from the Find My app. I think the former is what fixed it, but did both at the same time so I can’t be sure.
