Your post does not make it clear which app you are using to share your location—Find My, Messages, WhatsApp, Google Maps, or any other app.
Each of these apps has its own method of sharing your location on an iPhone, so the steps to troubleshoot the issue will depend on the app you are using.
You also mentioned that you are unable to share your location with one of your contacts. This could be because that particular contact is not using, or has not set up, the same location-sharing service that you are using. For example, if you are sharing your location through Find My, the recipient may need to use Find My and have the necessary settings enabled. Similarly, WhatsApp and Google Maps have their own location-sharing requirements.
If you are sharing your location through Find My, please refer to Apple's official support article for instructions:
Share your location with iPhone - Apple Support (IN)
Please clarify which app you are using to share your location and whether the issue occurs with all your contacts or only with one particular contact. This information will help identify the cause more accurately.
