Google’s Find My Device feature may soon help find your lost Android phone offline

In 2019, Apple improvised the feature-rich Find My app with the iOS 13. It allowed users to detect their lost iPhones and iPad even when they are not connected to the internet. It later introduced Bluetooth-based AirTags accessory that can be located by iPhones with a turn-by-turn location guide. 

The Cupertino-based company uses the network of billions of iPhones, iPads, and Macs around the world to catch Bluetooth signals, which are most of the time activated on all devices, to track lost or misplaced Apple devices. And, thanks to end-to-end encryption, it offers full protection for users’ privacy. Even Apple has no access to the feed, but only the user will be able to find the last known location of the lost device (without the internet).
