Greetings, paezneil.

I see that you're unable to locate your son using Find My Friends. You receive a message that your son's location isn't available, and I'm happy to help.

Get help using Find My Friends

If you see a No location available label for friends

You might not see your friend's location for these reasons:

• Your friend might need to correct the date on their device. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
• The device is off or isn't connected to cellular or Wi-Fi.
• Your friend turned on Hide My Location in Find My Friends.
• Your friend turned off Location Services in Settings > Privacy > Location Services or in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Find Friends.
• Your friend isn't signed in to Find My Friends on the device being located.
• The device is in a country or region where Apple doesn't offer this feature. This feature might not be available in all countries or regions due to technical limitations or local law.

A device's previous location is available for two hours. After two hours, you see Location not available.

Take care!
