Tracking person.x doesn't work for me

I am a NOOB; although, I have managed to achieve some success. I am currently running 0.103.6 (but had the same problem in prior versions) and I am trying to track myself and two others. We all have the Home Assistant iOS app installed and running.

I have poplulated the map with zones successfully. When I work with trying to locate anyone I believe I have three elements: person.name, sensor.geocoded_location_number and device_tracker.name_iphone.

I have created Lovelace cards for all three of these items and there are some difference. The person.name has an image attached and lists them as home,. The sensor.geocoded_location_number shows a street address and the third, the device_tracker.name_iphone just shows them home.

I have put the device_tracker.name_iphone in each person.name as appropriate. I have also ensured that all three have track: true.

I do not get any change in their status. The system always shows home. There is no change in address nor status of home - away or home - not home. I understand their may be a lag for updates so I have waited three hours and still no change from home.

Have I not set a configuration up properly? I have a device_tracker.yaml that lists all the pertinent data (I think). Here is what it looks like:

- name: Kyle
  id: name003
  user_id: c6ad6d124f364fe19b73d6261f21e8bb
  device_trackers:
    - device_tracker.30_57_14_58_29_01
    - device_tracker.kyles_iphone
- name: Mom
  id: name002
  user_id: afc69b5780db426d87fa94fb8a416897
  device_trackers:
    - device_tracker.mom_apple_watch
    - device_tracker.mom_iphone
- name: Papa
  id: name001
  user_id: a514e4b1af3541f1981da8817dc00c3a 
  device_trackers:
    - device_tracker.papa_iphone

I searched and read the information on Home Assistant as well as what I could find in this community. The one piece of information I saw from my research is automation. Do I need to create and automation for each of the three people?

Should I delete all three people and re-install them? Delete and re-install the app too? Is there something simple I am missing?

I appreciate any assistance or guidance you may be able to provide so that I can overcome this obstacle. Thank you
