Samsung's Find My Mobile feature utilizes a variety of methods to locate your device, even when it's offline. Here's how it works:
- Last Known Location: When your phone is offline, Find My Mobile displays the last known location recorded when the device was connected to the internet. This provides a general idea of your phone's whereabouts.
- Offline Tracking: While your phone is offline, Find My Mobile can leverage Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks to track its location. If your phone is within range of a known Bluetooth or Wi-Fi network, Find My Mobile can use this data to pinpoint its location.
- Google Location Services: If you have Google Location Services enabled on your Samsung phone, it will continue to collect location data even when offline. Find My Mobile can access this data to provide a more accurate location estimate.
It's important to note that the accuracy of offline tracking depends on several factors, including the strength of the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals, the density of networks in the area, and the time elapsed since the phone last connected to the internet.
While offline tracking can be useful for finding your phone, it is not always guaranteed to provide a precise location.
