Family location sharingA useful answer to “Have you arrived?”
See the latest shared device location with its freshness, so an old position is not mistaken for a live one.
Check a child’s latest shared position after practice, then look at when it was last updated.
Make it part of the routine.

What to know before you start
Requires permission, connectivity and device services. Updates are not continuous or guaranteed. iOS physical validation remains pending.
Check device support →Why might a location be waiting or old?
Permission alone is not enough. Connectivity, battery restrictions and location services can affect updates. Check the timestamp and protection status.
Works better together.
