When you turn your phone off there is a message that states:
iPhone Findable After Power Off >
Tapping that shows an alert with a description:
iPhone Remains Findable After Power Off
Find my helps you locate this iPhone when it is lost or stolen, even after power off
The location is visible in Find My on your other devices and to people in Family Sharing you share location with.
You can temporarily turn off Find My network and it will resume when this iPhone is turned on again
[OK] [Temporarily Turn Off Finding]
Seems very clear about setting expectations about exactly what your phone will be doing when you turn it "off".
- OneLeggedCat 5y agoMine has no such message, and I'm on iOS 15. I just tested it. Any idea why?
- ceejayoz 5y agoHead to the "Find My" section in the settings, click into "Find My iPhone", and see if "Find My network" is on or off. If it's off, you won't get the disclaimer, because it's not active.
- TillE 5y agoThat setting is enabled for me on iOS 15, and yet I have no such message on the power off screen. slide to power off, Emergency SOS, Cancel That's it. Nothing appears after I turn it off either.
- avianlyric 5y agoI don’t think all devices support it. My iPhone XS doesn’t show the message, and under the find my toggle it says “Participating in the Find My network let’s you locate your phone even when it’s offline”, rather than when it’s off.
- diebeforei485 5y agoIt's only supported on iPhone 11, 12, and 13 series.
- OneLeggedCat 5y agoI have iPhone 11. But anyway I figured it out. The message does not show unless you have bluetooth turned on.
