New iPhone 18 Pro Location Services Not Working

Set up my new iPhone 18 Pro yesterday! However, the location services are not functioning properly. On my old iPhone, the one I switched from, I was sharing my location in the Find My app with my husband, and vice versa. Upon completing all location, account, network, software updates/toggles, it is still not working.

More specifically, my location was still showing up on my husband's phone, but his was not showing up for me. It said he was not connected/sharing location when everything on his (and mine) phone was turned on.

We both turned our locations off, turned them back on, and when trying to share his location with me, my phone number/contact is greyed out and unable to be selected. All of my toggles and settings are on. When he tried to send his location to share via iMessage, it comes through and then immediately says his sharing location has expired.

We have never had any issues before, and have done all the small steps I could find online before coming here. Please help!

Have you both removed sharing location on each phone, then sent a new request to share location? Also, has the previous iPhone been wiped, so it's not sharing it's location anymore?
