How to find the location when the phone is turned off?

The methods to find the location when the mobile phone is turned off include: the location function of the mobile phone, the location function provided by cloud services, the location of the mobile phone by IMEI number, the location function of social media or other platforms by inferring the location of the mobile phone from the communication records of the mobile phone.

1, through the mobile phone positioning function

Many mobile phones have built-in GPS positioning function, and you can find the location of the mobile phone through related applications or system settings. As long as the positioning function is turned on before the phone is turned off, even if the phone is turned off, some positioning software can send signals to the phone to locate the phone.

2. Location function provided by cloud service

Nowadays, many mobile phones can back up their data through cloud services, and some cloud services also provide mobile phone location function. As long as the function is turned on before the mobile phone is turned off, and the same cloud service account is logged in on other devices, the location of the mobile phone can be located through the browser or the corresponding application.

3. Find the location of the mobile phone through the IMEI number.

The IMEI number is the unique identification number of the mobile phone. You can find the location of the mobile phone by calling the relevant phone or logging in to the website of the mobile phone operator. Of course, using IMEI number to locate mobile phones requires providing relevant supporting documents and applying for cooperation with operators.

4. Infer the location of the mobile phone through the communication records of the mobile phone.

If there are records of calls or short messages before the phone is turned off, we can find out the location of the phone by contacting relevant personnel. Although this method can't locate the mobile phone directly, it can provide some clues to find the location of the mobile phone.

5. Through the positioning function on social media or other platforms.

Many social media platforms now provide location functions. If you use these functions before turning off your mobile phone and log in the corresponding account on other devices, you can find the location of your mobile phone through these platforms.
