If you are turning off your iPhone and see the message “iPhone Findable After Power Off”, you might be wondering what it means. Here’s an explanation, and how to turn it off if you want.

How does it work?

Starting with iOS 15, certain recent iPhone models (such as the iPhone 13) can be located remotely while powered off thanks to the Find My network and the Find My app. This is possible because even when it’s turned off, iPhone provides a small amount of backup power to the Bluetooth, UWB, and NFC chips. The feature can help you find a lost iPhone more easily, even if the battery has run out.

On supported devices, if you turn off iPhone, you’ll see “iPhone Findable After Power Off” on the “Slide to Power Off” screen.
