Good morning all - we got our son an Apple Watch for graduation from primary school. Want to give him a gateway to tech and the ability to reach us if needed. I noticed that when I go into Find My, his location is Not Found. Upon further inspection, I went into his Apple Watch settings under Find My and the screen is totally blank.

So something isn't quite right, any ideas? My son is setup as > 13 in our family, with an iCloud id.

Here is a picture of the "blank" screen:

Problem solved. On the Apple Watch itself - not the iPhone settings - there is a toggle under Privacy. Odd that you can't set that as a parent/guardian for a child, as now, the child could toggle that switch off; essentially hiding their location.

Seems like something you'd want complete control of, no?
