Under the Find My app, this has become a hub not only for customers to find their lost Apple products, but also for third-party companies that make gadgets to work with the Find My network. However, one of the most interesting features iPhone users have at hand is the ability to find their devices even if the battery is dead. This is accomplished, on\u00a0iPhone 11 and newer devices, using power reserve mode, which can prolong some iPhone features even if the device is completely drained.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If your iPhone is linked to an Apple Account with Find My connected, you can locate it for up to 24 hours after it&#8217;s been turned off or for five hours in power reserve mode. Should the battery charge hit critically low levels, the iPhone&#8217;s last location is automatically sent to Apple as a last resort.\u00a0With this, Apple gives users extra time to find their devices in case it&#8217;s been forgotten or stolen, or if they just need to quickly use\u00a0Express Mode and get home using\u00a0public transportation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">The technology behind Find My<\/h2>\n<p>                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/how-find-my-phone-still-works-even-when-your-battery-is-dead\/the-technology-behind-find-my-1779731954.jpg\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2180661\/how-find-my-phone-works-battery-dead\/\" data-post-id=\"2180661\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"How 'Find My Phone' Still Works Even When Your Battery Is Dead: The technology behind Find My\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"An iPhone facing down a table with a Mac Studio and Magic Keyboard behind it\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    <span class=\"gallery-image-credit\">Jos\u00e9 Adorno\/BGR<\/span><\/p>\n<p>               &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2180661\/how-find-my-phone-works-battery-dead\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How &#8216;Find My Phone&#8217; Still Works Even When Your Battery Is Dead https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2180661\/how-find-my-phone-works-battery-dead\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":259700,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/how-find-my-phone-still-works-even-when-your-battery-is-dead\/l-intro-1779731952.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-259699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259699"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259699"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259699\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":259701,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259699\/revisions\/259701"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
