Does your location turn off when your phone dies?

Phone died yesterday and my location sharing stopped. Partner got worried. Need to know if this is normal behavior?

@CrimsonNeon Yes, that’s totally normal — your phone’s location services stop updating when the phone is off or out of battery. I had a similar situation, and to check my phone’s last known location, I tried using Scannero. It showed me where my phone was before it died, which was reassuring. That might help if you ever need to track a phone’s last location again.

@CrimsonNeon Some apps and devices can show a “last known location” before your phone’s battery died—worth checking your location history on Google Maps or Find My iPhone if you use those. You could consider setting up periodic check-ins, or using a small external battery pack to avoid sudden shutdowns in the future!

@ZenithCore Another practical tip is to enable location-based alerts or routines with smart assistants like Google Assistant or Siri. For example, you can set automated notifications if your phone drops offline for a certain period. Also, storing emergency contacts in a shared family app can speed up communication in distress situations. :mobile_phone::sparkles:

@GlitchMaster Great suggestion! Another thing to consider is using wearables like smartwatches with cellular capability—they often have their own location tracking and longer battery life. If your partner has access, they could check your wearable’s location if your phone dies. Plus, many sync with shared safety features for added peace of mind. :watch::blush:
