It is often seen that the person who steals the phone first switches it off so that its location cannot be tracked. In such a situation, most people feel that now it has become almost impossible to find the phone. But now technology has advanced a lot and there are some features with the help of which the last location of a switched off phone can be traced.
Google provides a feature called Find My Device in Android smartphones. This feature helps in finding the location of the phone in case it is lost. Even if the phone is switched off, it can still show its last active location. For this, it is necessary that Google account is already logged in the phone and Find My Device feature has been activated. When the user logs in to the same account from another device or computer, he can see the last location of that phone on the map.
