Location updates might not be functioning due to several reasons. Ensure your device's GPS is enabled and has a clear view of the sky for better satellite signals. Check your app permissions to make sure it has location access. Restarting your device and *reinstalling the app* may resolve software glitches. Lastly, verify that you have a stable internet connection, as this can affect real-time updates.
