If you can't see someone's location even though they are sharing it, there might be several reasons. First, ensure both of you have a stable internet connection. Additionally, check if the location-sharing app has the necessary permissions enabled, such as location services or background refresh. Lastly, verify that their device's location settings are correctly configured and that there are no privacy settings blocking the shared location. Restarting the app or device can also sometimes resolve the issue.
