Am I able to locate my iPhone if it’s turned off?

If the phone is powered off, the "Last Known Location" at that time will display for about a day.

After that the status of the phone will appear as "Offline".

The phone can also be "Offline" for several reasons:

• The battery has run down
• The phone has been powered off
• The phone does not have an Internet connection where it is currently located

In addition, iPhone thieves are very fond of placing the phone into a special type of bag that will not allow the phone to send or receive a signal.....even if everything else on the phone is working.

About all that you can do is check a few times each day to see if the status of the phone has changed.

If the battery is good and the phone has a good Internet connection, you can track the phone for as long as you want.

But, if it's been a few days and the phone has not appeared, the chances that it will ever appear are a tiny fraction above zero.

Hello~ I have a question for you…why are you responding to all of these older posts?? They have been answered correctly long ago. You seem to be doing this quite a bit so it has aroused my curiosity.

There are reasons why you can't track the phone.

• The battery has run down
• The phone does not have an Internet connection where it is located
• The thief has put the phone in a special bag that will not allow the phone to send or receive any signals

If it has been a few days and you haven't seen the phone.......I'm sorry but you need to be realistic. The phone is gone.

A phone that is turned off is difficult to track because it stops sending signals to cell towers. However, the service provider or internet provider can show the last location once it's switched back on.

If powered off, it's last known location when it was still powered on will be seen for 24 hours. An iPhone powered off and not connected to a network, can't be tracked.

I believe it’s “trackable” only for 24 Hrs for “offline finding”

However it’s heavily dependent on a lot of other “pieces” being available to “assist” - none of which you can control.

Yes.

But again, offline finding requires other “cooperating” iPhone users quite close-by to relay the position.

And if “someone” doesn’t want you to find it … you NEVER will.
