Findmy app not locating my friends

I have just set up a new iPhone 18 Pro by transferring all settings and data from my iPhone 12. All seems fine except that my son’s and daughter’s locations are not showing in the Findmy app. They show on the old iPhone and on my iPad. Any ideas?

To fix this issue, check the "Use This Device" setting in your Find My app on your new iPhone 18 Pro, as it is likely broadcasting location from an old device name instead of your new phone. 

I had this same problem switching from the 15 pro. My daughter switched from the 12 pro and also had the same problem. We went through all of the “fixes” with no luck. We checked it again the next day and all of the people we follow were back. Hope yours is fixed by tomorrow.
