FindMy default location when opening app (17PM)

[Aggie88]

Up until about a week ago when I opened the Findmy app the location was wherever I was located at. Now no matter what I do the default location is my granddaughter. I only have my granddaughter and wife listed in the app as we can locate each other.

I don't believe I changed anything. My wife's iphone works with her location as the default. I haven't had my granddaughter check her phone yet.

Any idea of how I can get back to my location being the default location when opening the app? Thanks.

Try the following on your device and see if it works:

• Open the Find My app.
• Tap the Me tab (bottom right).
• Select Use This iPhone as My Location.

Just to clarify - you mean the “Me” location is where your granddaughter is? If so, it sounds like she’s signed into your Apple Account. @nickelro’s steps would fix the location issue, but she “should” be signed into her own Apple Account; a Family Sharing account if necessary.

If you’re talking about something other than the “Me” tab, that advice won’t work - where exactly are you seeing this?

Most probably the OP is using a single Apple Account shared with the other two family members.

My wife and granddaughter have their own accounts. “Me” is where I’m at. It is using my phone and or watch as my location.
