SI have lost your iPhone or have stolen ityou are likely to be nervous and think about the time you have left to find it. Despite not having it, you can log in to the website of Icloud.com/find and geolocate it, however, it is not infinite, and after a while, it will not appear.
Today we are going to see what Apple says clearly on its website, so that you have that reference when wanting to look for it, and know if you are still in time, or not, although it will also depend on whether you have lost it, or have stolen it, because there is a difference.
How long shows the location an iPhone off
If you do not find your iPhone, it is important that you enter the mentioned website, with your credentials of Icloudsince in it You can see its location on the map. It doesn't matter if you don't have another Apple product, nor a session started in them, since it will even serve with the Android phone of a friend.
When you access, you will see on the map where the iPhone is located, as well as the option of being able to force you to pite, delete the data, and other actions that help you find and protect you. However, how long does this work?
Well, obviously, as long as you have battery, you will continue to send the information, so it will depend on the level of load that you had at the time of the loss or theft. However, if it ends up, We will have only 24 hours To locate it, from that moment, according to Apple's own website, it will no longer offer information, not even the latest known location (hence it is important to access soon, to see, at least that last point).
If you use icloud.com/findyou will not be able to see the location of the device if it is off, the battery was exhausted or more than 24 hours passed since its last location was sent to Apple.
The good thing that Apple has, since its last versions of iOS, is that although it goes out due to lack of battery, it will continue, for a few hours, tracking the new position, as if it were an AirTag, thanks to the network of other Apple devices, so, even if you lost it No batteryyou are likely to find a new location sent by this, however, hurry up, as we can see, there are few hours that allow us.
It is true that we would like that, like the Airtag we are talking about, the iPhone had much more duration, since with few reserve mAh, it could last days, but it is not so. However, as we said, it will not be the same loss than robbery, since if someone is done with him, either because it is the thief or because simply, days later, he has found it on the street, surely he ends up carrying it to see if he can unlock it, or know who he is, so we will have to be attentive, since I could send the location again, days laterif someone loads it, although it does not have sim or wifi, due to the search network we are talking about.
So now that you know how long you have, we wish you luck if you have lost it and hopefully you can do with him again.
