find my location when away from iPhone

[ChemGolf]

When away from my iPhone, my S10 cellular should be used for my location, not my iPhone.
Does this work for anyone? Apple Watch and iPhone are on watchOS 26 and iOS 26, resp.

Not sure on that, it is a tricky one to test, but I would be keen to know the answer. I believe that is what it should be though.

It doesn’t work for me unfortunately, I will regularly leave my phone in vehicle while I mountain bike and wife says location always just shows where I’m parked…would like to know if there’s a solution to this as well…

Problem solved, works for me again with watchOS 26.6!

Thanks in that case when the 12s come out in 2 months I’ll get a cellular so I don’t have to take my phone with me when I run.

First of all, great that it works again. Posted about that some weeks ago too.
And second, strange that it is fixed in 26.6 as Apple sells this as a new feature of watchOS 27:

iOS 27 includes smarter Find My location sharing for Apple Watch users - 9to5Mac

The Find My app is used by millions of people to find their misplaced devices in a pinch, and millions...

I was not 100% sure if it ever worked in the past, now I am even more confused.
Have to try it again with 26.6. Thanks for the heads up.
