When your iPhone is lost, there’s an understandable tendency to panic. But even if your battery is dead or the Wi-Fi and cellular data are turned off, you can usually still find your iPhone. Apple’s Bluetooth location feature will help you locate an offline iPhone, as long as the iPhone is powered on. But even if your iPhone battery is dead, finding the device is as simple as tracking the last known location.
We’ll use iCloud and the Find My app to get that precious iPhone or iPad you’ve lost back into your hands dead or alive. We’ll show how to enable Lost Mode for your iPhone remotely and the various options you have when finding your iPhone. Here’s how to find your iPhone even if the battery is dead or out of range.
How to Set Up the Find My App
Having Find My iPhone enabled is only part of making sure that even a dead iPhone can be found with iCloud’s location tracking. With Offline Finding enabled in Settings in iOS 13 or later, you can find your iPhone even if it’s dead or powered down. With Send the Last Location turned on, you’ll be able to see where your iPhone was right before the battery died, so there are lots of ways to locate your missing device as long as your Find My options are fully enabled.
