How can I find my iPhone when it is turned off? If you have AirTags, you’ll be familiar with how this works. It enables your device to send out end-to-end encrypted Bluetooth signals (“ like a lost cat meowing in the dark,” according to the Apple-focused tech site TidBits), and if certain other Apple devices with internet connections are nearby, they will anonymously pick up these signals and relay them to your Find My app as your device’s approximate location, without compromising your privacy. The Find My network is a secondary handy tool you can turn on for your phone that works with the Find My app. If you are part of a family-sharing group (a setting that allows an adult to add up to six family members to share apps, music, books and more), a family member can also help locate your phone by logging into their iCloud account and searching for your devices.
If your phone is on Wi-Fi or on a cellular network, you’ll be able to hear it if it’s in earshot. If your phone is set to vibrate, it will do that, too. A noise will toll, and the volume will slowly increase. I understand it's not full proof but it's better than nothing.If you’re on another Apple device (Apple Watch, iPad, etc.), you can also use Find My’s “find devices” feature to play a sound on your lost iPhone.
Those are just a few examples of my uses. They can simply hide the phone so the perp doesn't know they are being tracked. In an emergency such as abduction, they can push the panic button and sends out an alert to every family member and we can track their location. If they try to leave their phone at the location they are supposed to be at and sneak away, I can simply send them a request to check in anytime I wish and if they don't, something is up. I have my house and my kids school geofenced so I know exactly when they arrive and leave home or school. I can then setup a geofence at that location and if they leave, it notifies me. Please don't tell me your kids are perfect little angels and would never do anything they're not suppose to.
