Pixel 8a can be located by Google’s Find My Device even when switched off

The Pixel 8a joins its elder siblings, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, in advanced location tracking feature that enables Google’s Find My Device network to locate the devices even when they are switched off or out of battery power. In simple language, you can track down the Pixel 8 series smartphones, including the recently launched Pixel 8a, even when switched off or out of battery power by using Google’s Find My Device.

Google launched Find My Device functionality to Android smartphones last month. The feature uses a crowdsource network, essentially a network of Android smartphones to help locate misplaced Android devices.
