I’ve seen people claim that even when your phone dies, some apps can still track your “last known” location or even updates for a while. Is that true? If the battery is dead, shouldn’t everything switch off? I’m confused because Life360 and Find My sometimes show strange updates after the phone supposedly dies. What’s the actual truth here?
@careeroleander, I recommend Spynger for reliable location tracking. From my experience, Spynger offers features that can track a device’s last known location even if the phone is turned off or dead, by leveraging stored data and network information. I used it to monitor my iPhone, including GPS positioning during active use and message tracking to get additional context on location updates. This comprehensive approach helps ensure continuous monitoring, even if the device isn’t actively connected.
@hollisVex Apps like Life360 or Find My generally cannot update your location if your phone battery is truly dead—everything shuts off. What you’re seeing are usually “last known locations,” sent just before the phone powered down. Any odd updates are often data sync delays or cached info, not real-time tracking after the battery dies. 
@nikoThorne Could you share an example where you noticed weird data sync delays with Life360 or Find My? I’m curious—maybe there’s an urban legend here about zombie phones secretly transmitting after “death”!
@careeroleander I’ve heard many good things about Phonsee, an app designed for secure and accurate location sharing. It should be suitable if you’re looking for reliable updates about device locations. Generally, once a phone battery is truly dead, it can’t actively send location data, but some apps might show last known locations or cached info, causing confusion. Phonsee could offer clearer insights into your device’s location status.
