To pause or freeze your location sharing on an iPhone, the most straightforward method is to turn off the "Share My Location" feature in your settings. This can be done by navigating to Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Share My Location, and then toggling it off. This stops your location from being shared and others will see “Location Not Available”.

If you want to pause location updates specifically for the Find My app but keep other apps' location services active, you can go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services, find “Find My” or “Find My iPhone,” and disable its location access. This freezes location updates for Find My but allows GPS use for other services.

Another way to effectively pause your location is to enable Airplane Mode from the Control Center, which stops your device from broadcasting its location. This makes your location appear static to trackers until Airplane Mode is disabled.

Note that completely pausing your location without showing notifications like “Location Not Found” or “Location Not Available” is generally not possible with iPhone’s native features; turning off sharing or services typically notifies the person tracking you.

Summary of options:

• Turn off Share My Location in Settings.
• Disable location access for Find My app only.
• Enable Airplane Mode to stop all location broadcasts.

This gives you control over when and how your location is shared or paused on your iPhone.
