How To Track A Switched Off Phone?

You generally cannot track a phone that is fully switched off in real time

Check the last known location in Google Find My Device or Apple Find My

Review location history in your Google or Apple account if it was enabled

Contact your mobile carrier to ask about the last network connection

Report the phone as lost or stolen to the police

Provide the device IMEI number to the carrier and police

Use any linked smartwatch, tablet, or account to help locate recent activity

Enable Lost Mode or mark the device as lost in your account

Monitor for the phone coming back online and send a ring or lock command

Change passwords for important accounts if the phone may be compromised

If the phone is powered off and has no battery, wait for it to reconnect to a network or Wi-Fi
