Google has introduced a new feature: Location can now be found even if the phone is turned off.

Google's "Find My Device" feature now works offline as well. Even if the phone is turned off for hours, its location can still be determined. Offline location tracking was initially introduced for Pixel 8 phones.
“Find My Device” now helps you locate your phone even if it’s turned off or the battery is dead. This new feature was initially introduced for Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro models.

Google Pixel 8 phones have arrived.

Pixel 8 users report receiving a notification explaining how the feature works after setting up the “Find My Device” network. The message indicates that the phone’s location can be tracked for several hours after the battery runs out or it is optionally turned off. This feature is quite useful when the phone is stolen or temporarily lost.

To ensure that this feature is enabled, users need to have either the “Use network only in congested areas” or “Use network in all areas” option selected in the Find My Device settings. The first one is selected by default. Google suggests that the second option may help users locate their lost device faster. This feature targets areas with low traffic, so it works even if your device is the only one detecting and sharing its location.

Google hasn’t shared information about which version is required for this feature, only stating that it started rolling out as of April. However, for this feature to work, Bluetooth and location must be enabled before the phone is turned off. It’s noted that this feature is made possible through specialized hardware that Google is trying to offer to other OEMs and chip manufacturers.
