Hi there! I understand that you can see your own location in iSharing but not your friends' locations. Let's work together to get this sorted out.

To start, may I ask:
- Are your friends also using the iSharing app and sharing their locations with you?
- Have you checked if your internet connection is stable?
- Have you tried refreshing the app or restarting your iPhone?

Meanwhile, here's a step-by-step to troubleshoot this issue on your iPhone (iOS 26.0.1):

1. Check Location Sharing Permissions:
- Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
- Make sure Location Services is ON.
- Scroll down to find iSharing and set Location Access to "Always" or at least "While Using the App".

2. Enable Notifications for iSharing:
- Go to Settings > Notifications.
- Find iSharing and ensure notifications are enabled. This sometimes helps with real-time location updates.

3. Check Internet Connection:
- Location updates rely on internet access. Confirm you have a good Wi-Fi or cellular data connection.

4. Refresh and Relaunch the App:
- Force close iSharing by swiping it away in the app switcher.
- Reopen the app and check if your friends' locations appear.

5. Ask Your Friends to Check Their Settings:
- Sometimes the issue is on their end.
- They should ensure iSharing is installed and running, location sharing is enabled, and they are connected to the internet.

6. Reboot Your iPhone:
- A simple restart helps clear any temporary glitches.

If after these steps your friends' locations still don't show, there could be a server or app-specific issue. It might help to log out and log back into the app or update the app if an update is available.

Let me know what you've tried or if you notice any specific error messages or behaviors. That way, I can assist you better!

Also, I can pull some additional info on this if you'd like.

Are you satisfied with these initial steps?
