When I try to share my location in Google Maps on my Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, I get the following error message:
Roughly translated, the error message means "Location sharing is not enabled on this device". Next to it is a link labeled "Beheben", which means "Fix it". When I click on that link, the link is replaced with a spinner for about 1 second, then the "Fix it" link just reappears, and nothing else happens.
**Why is Google Maps unable to fix the problem, and how can I fix it myself?** The issue seems somehow related to my Google account, since I *can* share my location when logging in to Maps with another Google account.
What I already tried:
* Check my Google account settings: Everything there looks fine to me.
* "Send feedback" to Google: Done (at least) twice in the last months. No reply.
* Ask on the Google community forum. Won't work. (More or less) the same message as in this question here results in *"Failed to post. Content violates Community Policy."*
