Can the mobile phone be located and found in the state of short message call?

As an individual citizen, you can't get the location of other people's mobile phones under any circumstances. Except for the following three situations: first, the other party actively broadcasts and shares its own positioning information; Second, the two sides agreed to enjoy the position on the geographic information platform; Third, the operator can get the consent of the other party before positioning.

If a citizen is suspected of committing a criminal offence (it must be criminal, not civil), the social public authority can locate him with the cooperation of the operator. As long as the other party's mobile phone is turned on, it can be located whether it is a call or a message. Operators' services are not oriented to society, especially not to individuals.
