Family Safety - Not able to see location of family members anymore just get the message "We couldn't find their location"

Hi,

Over the past week, none of us using the family safety app in the family are able to see the location details of other family members. The settings are all fine and everyone is still sharing their location all the time. Any idea how we can resolve the issue.

Thanks

    This is an Android issue. My 3 kids have iphones, and they don't have issues. My wife (one plus), me (Surface phone) have been having issues now for a long time.

    As multiple people have mentioned, including me, uninstalling the app, and reinstalling gets it to work for a short time (days) and then it stops again, and randomly works once a month.

    Frustrating as it was working great prior to some update.

    I have this issue and my families phones are Nokia. It's not a Samsung issue.

    I moved on to another location app. Microsoft is obviously abandoned this.
